Church in London

I have to write this down before i forget how happy i am inside :)
So we found a church in the city of London called the Presbyterian church of London. We found our way there by train than went in, first thought were that is was really small and no people are here, apart from the greeters. So we walked in and sat down and waited, sure enough a small amount of people came to listen also. Than a man (a young man so i though he was just getting the stand ready for the minister) came to the stand at the front of the church and started talking, first i thought Canadian?? than he continued and i had the hugest smile on my face as i realised he was scottish :D after i got over that i could enjoy the church service. He got really into the message he was preaching on Romans 1:4. A simple message on WHY Christ was risen from the dead. He preached in such a way it felt really personal, he was so happy to be up there preaching it made me smile many times. the psalms they sang were a bit weird and didnt have the tune in the psalm book which was hard but we got it in the end after a few giggles and wrong notes we eventually got it. Than after the service almost everyone wanted to hear our story, all the youth (all of about 10 at most i think) and the minister especially made his way in to say hi and talk to us, he was so nice, he invited us to lunch where it turns out all the youth were going (well most, i think some weren't there) and we spent the day at their house, they were so nice its not even funny. His kids were really cute and it was a nice all round day.. Just made me feel so happy inside me :) cant stop smiling. :D
Any way, London eye tonight :) so photos might be coming tomorrow or tonight :)

Brick lane

so day three had us seeing all museums and gallery's and brick lane (which i will tell you about in the end of this). firstly we went to Handles house, very cool to see where he lived and worked and slept, we got to try on some dresses and clothes they use to wear in those days :) (i don't have the camera on me so photos will come later :)) than we went to go see the museum of Britain, which was packed full, but so cool!! it had all ancient artifacts from all different countries, religions and eras. very cool!! than we stopped for lunch and went to find the cartoon museum :) the coolest museum ever!! it had every type of cartoon/comic in there... we could have spent hours in there but we didn't have time so we left there to go shopping :) i wanted to get some awesome converse that i saw on the way up (this is for Cait: they had the ones that have 2 tongues and 2 layers of colour, and they had the knee high ones :) all different colours and all different styles.. shoe heaven :)) any way didnt buy any cause instead i got sucked in to a good deal of a leather jacket which is very nice:) the person went from 400 to 200 with out bargaining than i said no and so he went to 100.. still no so he went to 85 so i was like 'eh.. why not' so now i have a very nice jacket :). we than went to the national gallery.. an art gallery with lots of painting of naked people haha very interesting though.. one of the things i picked up on is that none of the ladies were skinny in the pictures.. they all had a bit of fat around their tummies.
And now we come to brick lane.. haha.. people should be warned about this place.. its a lane that is chokka block full of indian curry restaurants and out side of each is an indian and when you walk past they come out at you and try to make you come in their restaurant 'you like a curry madam?? we give you good deal.. 25% off and a free bottle of wine' the funny thing is they all had the same deal haha.. we made the mistake of stopping for a few seconds to think about which one we wanted to go in and 3 of them came up and were talking on top of eachother haha.. i felt like a piece of meat and they were the flies haha... but any way we chose the restaurant with the most people inside and the cutest indian out side haha ;) but any way we had a very nice curry dinner..

photos will come later :)

missing my family and friends at home but it isnt something i will do again so i am just trying to take it all in and be thankfull for all the things that i am seeing and experiancing :) have a good easter every one.. sending luv xx

Hi from London

Hey all :)
I don't even know if any one knows that I have a blog on here but any way here I go any way.
So we arrived in London on Thursday after a loooooooooong flight (14 hours in one plane is long enough let alone another 6 hour flight on top of that) any way we arrived in high spirits, tired and excited to see what London had in store for us.
We firstly noticed the bitterly cold crisp air that hit us in the face, so so so very cold haha, and it just randomly snows all the time haha. We went to put our luggage in our hostel than went to explore. We found Big Ben and other stuff in central London, we found the big eye and London bridge. Went to look at the palace and the changing of guards, which we missed any way so didnt get to see it.. So we went to Shakespeare's globe, very fascinating :) And so was the end of day one, we made our way back to our hostel to check in and relax, it was one LONG day :)
Day 2 found us in London tower, what a big tower it is too, turns out it is not one tower but lots of seperate ones in which kings and queens use to live, like a village, with a church (that still gets used) turture chambers, prisons, the Crown Jewels and all the armoury etc. we could have spent all day there but we had things to do and stuff to see so we had lunch and went to climb the 300+ stairs of the monument tower (turns out I'm not so fit haha :( ) and after that we were stuffed (well I was) and we went on the tube to convent gardens, they have a market there with all different street performers and stalls and just everything, we found somewhere for dinner and than back 'home' to collapse on to bed :)
We are thankful to God for letting us experience and see all this stuff that gas been build and made throughout time :) it so fa has been an experience of a life time. And I have found out I would not be able to ever live in such a cold climate ;)
Right now it is 10 to 8 and Camille is still in bed, I am sitting in the dinning area in my onsie and listening to all the other tourists and staff singing and talking :)
