England in autumn is so pretty. The leaves are falling. The air is chillier. The kiddies are back in school. All I want to do is curl up in front of a fire place with a cuppa...too bad I am way too busy!
Our church celebrated Harvest on Sunday. Obviously, the English don't do thanksgiving, but they do have a harvest type celebration. We collected fresh fruit and veggies then auctioned them off to raise money for the church. We raised around 225 pounds. That's equal to about 400 dollars. That's good for a church with around thirty members!
CUs started and they are so fun. There are definately more kids this year. Praise the Lord.
I joined a house group that one of the local teachers hosts. I had a great time. We are gong through the book of Acts. I spent a good portion of the night talking about cultural differences with an English boy who'd spent time in Chicago. Small world!
It's funny knowing that most of friends are back in classrooms. Yet here I am in England. I feel kinda lucky! Too bad I am bit behind in my school work...time to play catch up.
