Sabaho. A coffee shop and eatery just a 10-minute jaunt from our house. This, is where I currently, however temporarily, reside. Sitting in one place for too long of a period has the tendency to make me very antsy. Such as now. I needed to get out of our house to edit photos and write my blog; however, now I am fighting the urge to bolt prior to finishing. Failure will not win. I hope. Here goes.

The weather has most certainly been brilliant this week! I, honestly, cannot say when the last time was that I've seen a full day of sunshine. It was definitely prior to living here in London. It's remarkable what a little Vitamin-D will do for one's soul.

This passed week we had the opportunity to take a small holiday and visit the English countryside. What a beautiful and peaceful place. The couple that we were invited up to stay with, we had the privilege of meeting during our swim across the pond. Faith and Bill Bowyer turned out to be an incredibly kind and hospitable couple. Having not known us apart from a few short minute conversations aboard the ship, they were very adamant in making sure we came up to see them. Due to our schedules, we couldn't stay the entire 8 days that they requested; however, we were able to be a part of their lives for 4 refreshing days. 

They willingly fed, housed, and showed us around their village of Derby. Having only met Charles, Ryan, and myself, they even willingly took in Jonathan and Vanessa. I long to be as kind and hospitable as them. Well, I must be going. The desire to flee has overcome.

Melissa also met a very hospitable Brit on her flight over the pond. I think it is not uncommon among well mannered folk. Glad you had a time of refreshment in the country. It does help to get a feel for the overall culture, which in turn eliminates a few faux pas.

Father God, open doors for sharing the Truth of The Gospel of Jesus Christ for Richard and team members today.

    :Who I Am:

    I love people. I love expanding my perceptions of life in general. I am constantly "studying" people and their beliefs, religions, lifestyles, characteristics, pasts, dreams, habits, instincts, perceptions, and hopes...simply, I am building relationships with as many people as I can; while, seeking Truth.
     I'm in love with Christ. I love to see His characteristics, His love, and His dreams instilled within people. I love to travel and am carrying my cross to countries where His life is not known. It is my goal to live a life for Him in every aspect possible. I do not believe that God can be kept in a box, on Sundays, on Wednesday nights, or be kept within without His light shining through. My goal is to love people and to shine even in the darkest of places.
