American Independence

Happy July 4th to everyone stateside. It's "loss of colonies" day over here! I just got back from a coffee and tea morning that was selling American treats for fundraising. Did you know that Brownies are pretty much just an American thing?

Schools out next week. Lots of programs are ending for the summer. Its going to make things a little wierd to fit me in. No worries, though. A team of Americans are coming in a couple weeks. We are hosting a "Holiday Bible Club" which is like a VBS.

I've had fun going into the schools here. One is like a middle school the other is an older high school. Every student has to wear a uniform even though they are public schools. Part of me really wants to buy one of the school blazers to wear, they are really sharp!

Tomorrow we are going to a church in Hinkley. Hinkley is another village like Wigston. Kyle is preaching there. Part of internship projects is visiting other churches in England.

Prayer Requests:
Relationship Building - I finally feel like I am getting to know some people. Pray that continues.
Praise - I finished my school work and I passed with a B! Praise the Lord a most stressful semester is over!

  1. GET THE BLAZER IT WILL BE EPIC!
    I'm glad you're doing well over there. I knew you'd love it. You were sooo born to be in Europe.

    And if brownies are just a US thing-- I'm never leaving with out a sufficient amount of brownies in my suitcase. Maybe I'll have a whole little fridge suitcase dedicated to brownies. Yes. It will be so.

    Love you!
