Fantastic New People!

I’ve been so busy since I last wrote! Can’t believe we only got back off holiday last Tuesday! Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning was the induction course for the new group of students joining Oasis on what was known as Skills for Life but is now Bridge the Gap just to confuse them. They are lovely and I lead some of the sessions for them. We even found time for some singing! Saturday morning was the graduation of the last group of students. It was so good to meet up with them again. So many of them got A’s overall in the course. I was so proud of them and spent the entire ceremony grinning manically, causing the new students I was with to ask why! But it was awesome to see so many of them achieving so much!

It was Beth’s 21st on Saturday so we spent the weekend celebrating! We had a big braai yesterday and had a record of 15 children round our house. On Saturday night we went out for a meal to an African restaurant. All the waiters came over with a huge ice cream and sang lots of african songs for Beth’s Birthday. Also the guy who was playing the guitar came and seranaded her. She had a good weekend which is good. And we’re going out again tonight. We have a new couple over from England who are on a world tour and we’re going round for a games evening! Hope you all aren’t too cold. If it makes you feel any better, it rained lots today!
