I have now been to Aberystwth for the first time. I think it has to be experienced to be believed. It is one of the strangest places I have ever been to!

Aber CU were having their mission week and a few of us went over to work with them and help out. It was an utter privilege as well as a hilarious and frankly bizzarre time!

Here are a few highlights -

Top 2 moments when I most believed I may be dreaming:
1) Perusing the selection of food on the table at the lunchbar: Sandwiches...cakes...crisps...chocolate...a bag of flour...apples..........A BAG OF FLOUR?

2) Walking into a prayer meeting late, quick glance around the circle, the realisation that 2 of our number were dressed as cavemen....

Most ingenious idea:
When it snowed so much we couldn't do what we'd planned - creating a spontaneous make-shift cafe, giving out free hot-chocolate!

Best lesson learned:
God works through things, people, ways and experiences we wouldn't choose or expect!

Best 'meeting a legend' moment:
Meeting the legendary Becca Thomas

Moment of most horror:
On arrival of the snow, fearing that we may be stuck in Aber forever!

Most missed accessory:
A scarf

Favourite Old Testament character of the week:
Enoch

It was a great week! God was very gracious to us in many ways. It was such a privilege to meet the CU and work alongside them. And God blessed us with so many opportunitues to share the good news! I have lots to think about in light of the time away.
