Over Jet Lag

So I have been here in England for almost 3 weeks. I must admit, the first 1-2 weeks were hard and a bit lonely despite the wonderful people I had met here so far. I think leaving friendships and so many wonderful people whom I have been in relationship for many years and starting completely from scratch tripped me out a bit. Also realizing that this isn’t just a little vacation of mine but that I am really here, sold my car back home and everything.

BUT this week has been much better as I have been adjusting to the transition and jet lag and I have also been so embraced and welcomed in by new friends here. People have taken me around, cooked dinner, given me things that I need here. It is really great to see The Church really being the church. Another friend in town took me to Indian food and we had a wonderfully chill day watching Bride and Prejudice.

I played NETBALL last Monday nite with a bunch of ladies from church and beyond. What is it? That’s what I asked…It’s like basketball but you can’t dribble and you can’t run with the ball, you have to pass it. Random but good fun.

I am very blessed to be studying where I am. It has to be one of the best fits academically that I could have found. I get to even read about John Wimber and The Vineyard too!

I have been eating a few nites a week with the flatmates here. I get an assortment of Chinese, Thai, and Indian food home cooked!
