Back in bonny London town!

Well, we have toured Scotland and Northern Ireland and have now arrived back in London for the last two days of this amazing trip. The last few days were interesting to say the least. The beauty of Northern Ireland far exceeds words or pictures. The interesting part is that while there we stayed in a hostel called Paddy's Palace. For those of you who have stayed in one you know what i'm talking about. It is like a college dorm, but just a little less accomodating. :) But it was a great experience! I would gladly do it all again. Last night we were back a Dr. McRae's church and had just singing service, it think the choir sang songs for about two and a half hours, it was so fun. There was a old gentlemen, very sick and frail who told us after we got done, that if this was anything like it was going to be in heaven, he would like to go there right now. It was powerful. We have to give every bit of credit to the Lord for all this. All of our voices are shot, we are physically exhausted, but each time we sing the Lord has only given us more strength and better vocal quality, its been incredible. Well in case you are worried about all of us poor college students living on bread and water traveling all over Europe, coming home starving and sick, just take a look at the picture below and see the kind of food we have been served. If I stayed in this country much longer i would be so overweight i could never get back. Dr. McRae's church fed us a four course dinner last night that rivaled any restaurant i have ever been to. But i think this picture below shows the best plate of food eaten so far.

If you have any questions or comments please leave them on the blog, i would love to answer any questions and your comments keep me posting! :)

Undescribable!

The Lord has been so amazing to us on this trip. The spirit and the welcome that we have been welcomed with has warmed my heart and brought me to tears. These people love the Lord so much and it makes me very aware of how much I need to love him more. God has touched our choir in a special way, not only in our singing, but He has given us a new outlook on many things. I can't even begin to describe to you the beauty of the country. We were in N. Ireland for the past few days, and you will have to see the pictures to believe me. But they won't even come close to accurately describing what we have witnessed and experienced over here.

Here is a couple pics from the coast of N. Ireland. We went on a coastal tour today and all i can say is you have to see it to believe it!!

We are in Northern Ireland

Sorry i've been silent for the past couple days, but the hotels we have stayed in haven't had any internet access. I can't even begin to describe to you what we have seen and experienced over here. It has been absolutely phenominal or crumbelievable (thats for you steve). I will have internet for the next 3 days so i will keep pics coming. Have to go so here are just a few of my favorites from London.

We are in the UK!

Well, thx to everyone who has been praying for us, we arrived safely in England earlier today. It was a long long flight, that seemed like it would never end, but we arrived safely. Its has been a very tiring few days, but its worth it to be here now. We arrived at the airport and had a slight delay due to a luggage issue, but as soon as we were released from customs and security, we boarded a coach (bus) and headed off to Windsor Castle. Here are a few pics from when we left for England and just a few from the castle. I will have more just getting ready to crash and wanted to put somthing up. Hope you enjoy them!

I Love College Basketball

Just a note to let everyone know that my buckeyes pulled it out today. It was a close one, and i almost had a heart attack, but they pulled it off in overtime. This has really been the life, sitting around all day watching college basketball. How could life get any better! :) Spring break, watching basketball just laying around until we leave for England on Monday, rough life.

2 more days til England!

Nothing like home cooking!

Well after months of crown food, i finally got my first real home cooked meal. My dad is a grill master, and he grilled to perfection some pork. I know your like what a dufus he's blogging about food. Oh well, its exciting to me because it was really good. My mom also made my favorite side dish, cabbage! It was good.

Only 3 more days til England!
