London Adventures

Only 7 days left! I can’t believe that it’s almost over! Trying to make the best of my last days here! We just finished our last assignment so now all I have left to worry about are the rest of the lectures and our New Testament reading. In Spring school we are required to read through the entire New Testament (I’m pretty far behind). Its weird thinking that I’ve almost been here two months. I feel that it was just last week that I was suffering from jet lag!

As I said in the last post I was privileged enough to get to London! My first stop of course was town called Leavesden.  (Its about 20 miles outside of London) My friend Amanda and I took a train to a small station where we were greeted by a the double decker shuttle to take us to the one and only…  HARRY POTTER STUDIOS!! (thanks Akins and Mom) If you haven’t figured out by the use of my caps lock button I love the Harry Potter books and movies! For the past ten years Leavseden has been the place where they filmed all the Harry potter films. Words truly can’t describe how much I loved this! It was almost a 4 hour tour of the sets and how the films were made. From The Great Hall to Diagon Alley!  Amanda and I were almost speechless the entire time! It was Amazing!

Amanda had some people to visit in London, so we parted ways and I met up with Ali and Holly Brittany and Kylie. The next couple days were spent going to all the big tourist spots like Big Ben, The London Eye, Westminster Abbey. We even got to see a show while there. We also got to go to the London Film Museum! We stayed with on Ali’s friend Kinzey, and her family! It was so nice!

I have crated a new sport here at Capernwray. Its called table gliding.

We have a big room in the castle called the lounge, where we all hang out after lectures. I was sitting on one of the many coffee tables in the room and realized that the surface was smooth. I slid from one table to the one sitting next to it. I jumped up and asked my fellow student that all the tables be brought into the middle of the room. Once 6 coffee tables were lined up I took a running start, leaped into the air, and prayed that my clothes/body parts wouldn’t snag as I slid in between the tables. It was like sliding on ice! One after another we slid across the room the crowd cheering and screaming as we were transported back to out childhood. Awesome.

I think that being here and having a busy schedule with class and people that It’s easy to forget why I’m here. So Praise the Lord for He is good! I was listening to a song today that said, Great is thy faithfulness." and I'm realizing that the Lord will provide and be faithful even if its not what you think that you need at that time!

   I am so excited to see what God does when I get back! I can’t wait to see all you back home!

            But I don’t want to cut my time here short! I want to continue to soak up every last moment of my experience here. Going to keep living it up! I’ll keep you updated! See you all soon!
