The week that was...

Usually a lot of what happens in my life is work related and therefore is forbidden to be shared amongst the masses. Fortunately this week has been a little more eventful, little being the operative word, so I thought I'd share it with you all.

First off, I have been re-paired/doubled crewed/teamed up again with my tutor who is just awesome! It's great because now I actually have some company whilst out on the beat and to give credit to her she hasn't forgotten a thing. I'm so glad she's back.

Secondly, I had one of my missionary companions come and stay with us and, bless them, they brought a little taste of america with them! That's right, LUCKY CHARMS AND REESES PUFFS for us AND some beef jerky for me! YUM YUM! Thanks again Jamie and Catherine! It was great to see them again and I had a great time reminising about all those years ago.... even if it did mean going to bed past 1 o'clock in the morning!

At the start of the week I had an email from a company called "Groupon" which is a company that offer special deals on... well... pretty much anything. Basically, what happens is they sell a "coupon" for 24hrs which doesn't become active until a set number of people purchase it. Hence "Groupon". The email was for an offer of a 45 minute photo session with a professional photographer (set up like Venture) and you got 1 x 8"x10", 3 x 7"x5" and 1 x 12"x10" prints all for £19! That's right £19!! After I had purchased my groupon we headed to the photo studio and have a booking for tomorrow being Monday 21st March 2011! Can't wait to see the finished article.

This next part is a little in-family joke but I had to include it as I know Hesbs and possibly Joe read my blog. (I hope it makes you laugh as much as we did!!).
After a hard day out on the streets my tutor and I went back to the station and whilst updating the system with what we had done my tutor came out with "oh! That's put the 'MOCKERS' on that!"..............
To fill the rest of you in on the joke. It occured during the Netherlands vs Spain world cup semi-final. We were all round Lauren's Nanny's house cheering on the Dutch... unfortunately our support was insufficient so Nanny came out with "Oh! I'm gona put the 'MOCKERS' on them!". Them being the Spaniards. This of course cracked us up as we had never heard of this "MOCKERS" but coupled along with Nanny's cursing fingers and "MOCKERS, MOCKERS, MOCKERS" chants it pretty much floored all of us! Brilliant! So there you go Hesbs and Joe it does exist but must be a generational thing.

Lastly, we had a great time at church today. We learnt a new song in primary today all about the prophet and apostles of our church. Hopefully I've been able to find a copy of it and put it on this post.
We were also given a new responsibility/assignment today to run a monthly event called "Faith in God" which is for 8+ year olds so we're eagerly waiting to get stuck in and do a good job.

And that's pretty much my week. Hope you have enjoyed!
