Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

So not only did we bring LA weather with us, we brought its smog too!!

UK trip, Will's perspective:
So Britain is having a bit of a heat wave right now - it was actually hotter coming off the plane than getting on.  Whilst it's lovely to experience such rare weather in Britain it has been a bit of a mixed blessing as British homes typical do not have air conditioning but have great insulation thus making an excellent heat trap - not overly pleasant at night (hence I am writing this at 3am).

Despite Vivian's worries about meeting my parents I have to say she is now remarkably relaxed and has enjoyed talking to them (even withstanding some of my Dad's 45 minute monologues tee hee) and compared to how disoriented I was when I first came to LA she has been very comfortable here although there were moments when I thought she was going to give up in a sigh of despair, for example trying to buy the necessary ingredients to make chinese food - wonton wraps?  fat chance, it took us 20 minutes to even find tofu.  But we have been enjoying some of the "cuisine" Britain has to offer, especially the bangers (sausages), and I've promised to get Vivian some fish and chips, mmmmm.
I plan on showing her around my old college tomorrow (if we wake in time) and I'll try to get us into formal hall - she needs to have a chance to use her imitation upper class accent :)

We both really appreciate all y'all prayers, they have helped a lot in giving us opportunities to talk more openly with my family. Something that needs particular attention is prayer for my brothers- Benjamin, having recently turned 13, is now growing up quite quickly (I barely recognised him when I saw him), and I don't think he has much contact with any Christian community outside my family - he goes to a boarding school and he hasn't been to my mum's church (but then there are hardly any kids there). Robin also doesn't go to church, and like me is very independent, and he only really hangs out with deaf people. Vivian and I are both going to the Soul Survivor church in watford and we both sensed it would be cool to invite my brothers along - please pray that the Lord will open doors for them to come with us, and I think it would also be cool if God used a deaf Christian to reach out to Robin. As for my parents, pray for God to use my mum in her new pastoral position and for my Dad to have wisdom of whether or not to go ahead with a cochlear implant operation to try to restore his hearing.
Will keep you posted, and looking forward to sharing good news from the trip with you all next week!

You are Windex.



You are a neat freak. Quite plain and simple. If you walk into an unorganized area, you go insane. Most of your free time is spent cleaning and organizing, when you aren't having fun with you friends. Even though many are annoyed by your constant organizing, some see it as a quality of neatness, and that is something most people envy about you. The opposite sex sees you as clean-cut and pure, though you are too shy to express your true feelings for them. You keep a list of goals and priorities in your life, and in almost all cases, accomplish them. You are the over-acheiver, most intelligent in your class, and strive to do all that is in your ability. Some people may try to take advantage of you, however, so don't let them make you clean up their messes. "Just put some Windex."

Most compatible with: Toothbrush.

Your Brain is 53.33% Female, 46.67% Male
Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female
You are both sensitive and savvy
Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed
But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve
