Having never been abroad I suddenly felt inspired about Russia and made up my mind to go there and I did! And it was not a disappointment in any way. Life on the boat was good. It was the Andrei Rublov. The sights were spectacular and I loves talking to the Russian people, sometimes in Russian. I now plan to improve my language skills and hhaving done the tourist thing I now want to spend some time among the people of Yaroslavl which is twinned with Exeter, my nearest city. My latest way to improve my Russian is using my iphone to play me Russian books while I am driving. My favourite is the Bible as I was brought up on it and have a better chance of understanding what is being said.Determination is what you need in any undertaking.
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.
