You can’t even see the stars when you look up at night, just a huge red smog.

I will be writing another soon! after my next week here! :) speak to you all soon! Josh.

Hey! So I am coming to the end of my third week here in Manchester with A.I.S. It has been a fun yet very tiring couple of weeks! For the last couple of weeks I have been travailing to Bolton everyday for “BOOT CAMP” which is a two week training program that all interns have to undergo.

Here a picture of all the other Interns. From left to right. Mike (Only met once as he is doing his Intern in South Africa) Dan Nottingham, Liam Whitell, Josh Drury, Me, Helena Lowe.

 This was an amazing opportunity as we had John Squires a Uefa A licences coach teaching us. (For those who don’t talk football that is the best you can get.) He is also the Director of training here at A.I.S. We also had biblical teaching from the one and only Dave Oakley, which was amazing as well. Dave is the current C.E.O of Ambassadors,

So through out the couple of months I will be getting involved with the A.I.S schools work and the Hope FC side of things as well, So most days I am in a primary school’s teaching P.E to all year groups, this involves a lot of practicing of getting in a line and being quiet.

The Hope FC side of things involves going on to estates and coming along side lads on the estate and playing football and sharing a gospel message afterwards. I enjoy this side of my work more because I don’t constantly have to yell at the top of my voice!  

I am really enjoying my time here so far and most if not all aspects of my new job. I still haven’t got use to living in the city again, and going from living on a road you struggle to find on a map to living on the side of the A6 is a heck of a change, you can’t even see the stars when you look up at night, just huge red smog. I loved living in the city having grown up in Bristol but now miss the country side and the freedom of that so much.
