Seriously i only had a ten pound note!
So yesterday was a pretty fine day. I slept rather late...i had planned to get up at 9.30 but i think i slep until like 12. Anyway...it was nice. But i'm still kinda debating in my head whether i want to get over my jet lag, cause when i get back to America I'm gonna have to get over it all again!
I went to Queens (my university) to check my emails and myspace exetera, and I had an email from Helen Kemp (my medical tester woman) saying that ican medical test AGAIN tommorrow! (which was actually today, but im writing from a yesterday perpective) which means more money! Whoop! And i think she said she is gonna let me do it next week too! Which means I will definatly have enough to fly back when i plan! God is sweet! Anyway...i went to Fionas house and hung out with Fee, Charlotte (her baby) Javed, Karen (Fionas sister) and Steve (Karens boyfriend) I hadn't really seen them since January when Steve came over from England for New Years. I had just moved into my house and we had had a small party the night before. To which Karen made a hilarious comment about some 'gay' girls. There were some drunk girls i think she said were acting 'gay'. Not homosexual gay, but just hyper gay. Do Americans call things gay as casually as we do? Let me know.
So we just listened to music and had a little debate ove what to do. And i realised i hadnt taken my coat off since i got there, which was like four hours before! (not that thats important!) Karen wouldnt even make me tea! And Fiona totally hates me! Good news though...Fionas band are practising today, which means...they aren't split up like i thought!
So Fee and Jav went away with the baby...and Karen, Steve and me went to the cinema to see Severance. First we ate at burger king, were i used up my last four pound. WASTE. Then we went and played a game of pool in the Superbowl. Karen and I won! Only by defualt though, cause Steve potted the black! (That is always how i win pool or snooker...i think i have a 'defaulting win annointing'.) Then we went to the cinema. Severance was amazing..like Shaun of the Dead, mixed with Hostel...it was hilarious, and great and many other positive adjectives that I can't be bothered to write! Danny Dyer is a legend. He reminds me of this guy i used to go to school with called David Gray. Although we just called him Dee Gray. Or sometimes Dee Gay. Ah...high school humour. He was a nice guy though..he was funny and weird but in a good way. Plus he totally fancied my mate Noirin.
Anyway...after the cinema i had to get my bus, (otherwise i would have had to wait for like AGES)...then when i got home i watched an episode of LOST series 2 on TV. Then i watched Connie and Carla. That movie is amazing and funny! Plus they sing lots of show songs, and i kinda show songs...even the ones i didnt know! Its about these girls who witness a murder so they run away and get jobs as drag queens in a dinner theatre place! So they are women, pretending to be men, pretending to be women. It is hilarious. Especially cause i love Toni Collette. Oh shes in that new movie 'Little Miss Sunshine'. I really want to see it. 'Muriels Wedding' is amazing too. Anyway...after that i went to sleep.
I had to get up early this morning to go and do medical testing. So, i had no change for the bus, so i was gonna use my smallest note, which was a 10. So i get on the bus, and the bus driver *bitch alert* is like, 'Can i just ask you WHY you would get on the bus with no change?'...and i was really embarrassed...i just said 'Sorry, it's all i have...what should i do?' And she was like 'Next time have change.' WELL EXCUSE ME IF THE BANK MACHINE DOESNT GIVE OUT COINS YOU DAFT COW! Anyway im sure she is nice in real life. Probably just grumpy cause it was early. But then a guy got on after me, with a samller note (a 5) and she was all, 'Why does no-one have change?'...seriousy wise up woman or I wont even get your stoopid bus!
So i went to medical testing were i starting readin my DTS book, 'Is that really You God?'. It is surprisingly good, i'm nearly finished. Just cause i was there for three hours and I'm a pretty fast reader. Although the other three people there had laptops, i felt so old school with my book. Plus one guy was watching 'Friends' on his laptop and i really wanted to see the screen. But all i could hear was the audio. I feel bad for blind people. Except that time iw as blind at City Walk in L.A...that was amazing! Trine led me around and people actually got out of my way and stuff! It is a vintage act though..i used to do it all the time in school to the substitute teachers and they would belive it! Ah...deception...

Flip...I'm a Missionary!
It was so nice just being at church yesterday. I was really happy. It was weird just hearing our worship band and seeing all my old friends. It was awesome. After church I went around Bangor and just had a look in a few shops. I totally forgot that before i left, i had lent my mate Rab some money adn he gimme it back. Which is awesome to see God provide. And then my medical tester said she would run an extra day, JUST FOR ME! What an awesome woman.
So i was shopping around Bangor. Not buying anything though, just enjoying looking. I had some lunch in KFC. The KFC in America sucks, they are partnered with Taco bell and its gross. But our KFC is KFCuking amazing! (hehe see what i did there....) Then i finished reading my Nate Saint book. Its really weird. I feel really drawn to that whole story. Like i want to go and live with the Aucas in Ecuador. After that i met up with Sooze and Chris and had some tea. (and an apple juice) I really mised them this summer...just cause they were a pretty big part of my life before i left...what with the whole suicide thing and all. So...my time here draws shorter everyday (obviously) and I'm actually glad time is going a bit faster. Cause i am so bored. bored, bored bored. Although i think i am going out to the Limelight tomorrow night. (its like this rock grunge bar place.) But they play good music and i have nothing better to do. BUt now im thinking..i shouldnt go..i dont want to be one of those christians who compromise...hmm...okay so i just decided not to go.
'All i have needed his hand will provide. Hes alwasy been faithful to me.'
So...as I leave on this adventure, it just hit me. I am a missionary. Its a bit crazy, a LOT exciting, but extremly true. THis summer as YWAM LA MA Staff has really opened my eyes. L.A is far from the glamour we see on the T.V. In reality, Hollywood is about a half mile of greed, idolatry and broken people. People worship those white planks that spell out H.O.L.L.Y.W.O.O.D - and just a hundred metres away there is a small cross on the same hill. Where are our priorities? This city will come to God though...i just know it. So keep praying!
So I am going to be training under the DTS programme and then hopefully a secondary school that will lead into further Leadership full time MA things. Which will draw in thousands of kids from the local area and across America. Then i can bring it home and set it up in our YWAM bases.
I'm looking forawrd to Juvenile Hall. This isn't no tame Hydebank, its gang members, bloods, crips, the south central L.A guys...Yet seeing them respond to our help and love is weirdly amazing.
So i am gonna destroy that box that i put God in. That 'Maybe' box. Maybe he'll heal. Maybe he'll provide. He WILL heal. He WILL provide. It's his nature....
So yeah..I'm a missionary..full time...no uni...no pay...just one objective..to set the world on fire.
Until next time hombres,
Tony.
