Busy but lovely weekend
So we are now into week 7 of our 12 weeks of support raising, over 50% supported and have got used to being away from home! This weekend saw us pop up the M5 to Weston-Super-Mare, with a detour to Stroud.
We had a great afternoon with Becky, a friend from university and got to meet her delightful 3 month old daughter Amelia. Bethan was very taken with her and enjoyed giving her kisses and cuddles (although I failed to actually capture any cute moments!). Becky also made us the world's biggest cake - yum yum!
We had a family day on Saturday in Weston, in that we visited a lot of family! We stayed with my (Becki's) second cousins for the weekend and took the opportunity to visit my Aunt and Great Aunt (Bethan's Great Great Aunt!). There was a lot of laughter, especially when Uncle Ricky recounted tales of accidentally shooting a basket full of racing pigeons.

Sunday morning saw us at Bristol Road Baptist Church where we were privileged to have the entire service to talk about the work of MAF and what we will be doing when we go overseas. We enjoyed the service and meeting the very friendly congregation. We were also interested to hear that long serving MAF pilot Max Gove is the son of one of their previous vicar's.
After having lunch back at the house we'd been staying in we made our way back down the M5 to our second service of the day at the very lively Living Waters Church in Paignton. The service started with worship music, which Bethan danced her heart out to (wish we'd been able to video her). There was then a time of testimony where members of the congregation shared what God has done in their lives recently. We then shared about our work with MAF before Misheck (the youth leader) gave an amazing talk on obediance. We really enjoyed spending time at Living Waters and can't wait for the next time we get to go to a service there!
