I really very much enjoyed being in Russia and I want to go again, but there really is no place like home. Silver birch trees are beautiful but I missed the variety of oak, ash and beech etc. The part of Russia we visited seemed to be very flat, but in Devon, where I live we have lots of little hills all around us. They are not mountains but we do enjoy climbing up them sometimes. It is a tribute to Russia that I was not longing to go home, but pleased when we were on our way to the airport. Once in Britain we had a people carrier to take us home, with a very nice considerate driver. It was good to see as the miles passed that we were in familiar territory. What bliss to get into one's own bed and relax. It took several days to come down to earth.
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.
