About two years previously to me deciding I wanted to go to Russia, a friend had asked me if I would go to Canada with her. It was a lovely idea but far too expensive so we had shelved the idea unless I came in for a windfall, an unexpected amount of cash coming my way. The cost of going to Russia was much more achievable. I asked my friend to accompany me not really expecting her to want to come. At first she was taken aback but soon became very interested and we began looking at brochures together. Eventually be decided on a company called Titan who were doing a boat trip from St Petersburg to Moscow down the rivers and canals. It was an 11 day trip and although it was dearer than some 7 or 8 day holidays it took you through more scenery and interesting places and provided breakfast, lunch and dinner, whereas the other apparently cheaper holidays were hotel, bed and breakfast, so one had to find other meals. Having decided what we wanted to do we had to get passports. I had never had one and my friend had not had one since about the seventies. I will tell you about this next time.
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
