Long, but Great week :)

As you may or may have not know it was our evangelistic week. We had a number of people ask questions throughout the week at our stall. Was good, even thought they not straight away come to trust in Jesus, a seed was planted :).
Day before yesterday, i found out that i have to do a sermon in 2 weeks, well i volentered because our minister is away, and can't do it. I love doing sermon's anyways, a chance to see people encouraged and challenged by scripture, why wouldn't i. However two weeks is short time, and fitting it in with other work such as uni can get a little hectic, so please pray for that.
I'm going to challenge conference next friday, should be action packed and great.
