The Amazingness of Church

Today's biggest disappointment today was dinner. And for one reason: a ration of ONE pancake EACH!!  My heart sank, though I was happy to at least get one.  I wolfed it down then had a brisk walk over to the church.  They'd had a pancake party going on (a good idea I think, though it's a bit late now to be thinking about it)  Maybe Reigate or Redhill Baptist could have one next year?  I'd offered to go down and help clear up.  That done I discovered that there were pancakes which were about to be chucked away and wasted.  So I saved them and ate them all.. there were probably about twelve-ish of them... I ate them all... :S :S  The church is amazing, one of God's names is God-who-provides.  Definitely provided abundantly here. 
As I ended my pancakes I got a call from Carolyn, she'd had a doctor's appointment earlier in the evening, now she was phoning to tell me they were keeping her in overnight.  I rushed back to the UKSA and got a lift over with James to see her.  She was Ok... ish.  She was on morphine and in a bit of pain, and generally not too well, but capable of holding conversation and having a laugh. 
Me and James had been sailing together today so we recounted all the hilarious adventures we'd been up to... from screaming manically and panicking as we capsized to him determined more about saving his percy pigs than me.  Today was a very funny day.  Funny, but hard.  We were sailing with asymmetric spinnakers today and that provides lots more speed, but is harder.  I ended up getting wet more as well as, when we capsized, as I was the one wearing a drysuit (James lost his when it got cut after he got BOOMED the other week) I had to get in the water to pull in the spinnaker as you can't right the boat until you have.
Another guy got concussion today after being hit by the boom when rigging up.  He's already back with us here and completely fine, which is great.  I think I may have the beginnings of a sore throat... I'm taking the occasional throat soother and drinking lots.  Hopefully it won't progress any further, loads of people have a cold on our course, I really DON'T want to join their ranks...
enough for tonight, sorry it was late, I was at the hospital.  One of the people from church offered to give me and James a lift back from the hospital as well, which was amazing.  James especially was extremely grateful as it meant not having to pay for a bus fare.  The church is rather amazing.
