Settled in...

DISCLAIMER: This will be a note that jumps all over the place.

Hi everybody!! It's been a hectic week and a half here in England. I arrived on Saturday, Sept 1st in London. The only problem was that no one arrived to pick me up. Turns out a couple of miscommunications were the cause. But after a lengthy stay at Gatwick airport (4 1/2 hours) and a 4 hour bus ride, and I arrived in Birmingham. Another long story short, when I arrived I didn't have a place to stay. I ended up staying in my pastor's study for the weekend.

Monday rolls around and I head off to conference/school. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the week. I met the most amazing people in the world!! It's really amazing how God gives you just what you need just when you need it. Not only were the people great, but I really heard God in a way that I never have before. It was an experience that I hope will stay with me for a long time.

So my pastor picks me up Friday. Not only do I have a place to stay, but it's really close to all of my new friends! The only problem is she has a cat. But I have a doctor's appointment Friday, so I'll get medicine. Also, I got registered with the doctors AND got a doctor to see me in the same day about my ear. They were both infected, but are doing much better now. Plus, I found out today that I'll be getting 20 pounds more a week than I thought! ($40) I'm setting my bank account and cell phone account up tomorrow. I'll let you know about both of those ASAP.Please pray for me. I have alot of newness to sort through. I also have a lot of responsibility in the church. I couldn't have asked for a better church (even if they are Pentecostal j/k) It's just alot of stuff to settle in to. I'll be getting the blog set up some time this week. I miss you all and will call ASAP!!
