Back at Home

I'm home now and almost recovered from jet lag...I've been busy all day sewing and filling my etsy shop. Check it out if you will! :)

Far and Away

Life has been busy over here in the UK. I rarely have internet so it's been dificult for me to keep this blog updated...however, I have been taking lots of pictures so one of these days I'll upload them!
I'm finally getting into the swing of things, I think. I've been filling my schedule with people, volunteer work, and a few moments here and there to just sit and enjoy the incredible beauty of Cornwall.
There are days I'm extreemly homesick, and days I feel right at home. I'm just trying to soak up each moment of this adventure knowing it will soon be over. I want to be able to look back with satisfaction at what I accomplished while I've been here.
I must be off now as I'm at the library and my computer time is almost up...but I just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know I haven't abandoned my blog...I shall return one of these days. :) Hopefully quite soon with pictures!
Keep in touch friends,

Our Shoebox of an Apartment...:)

We found an apartment! Heather and I are moving in on Wednesday! So exciting. :)
Here is a picture of the kitchen:
If you stand looking opposite the kitchen this is what you see:
Our dining/living area. :)

Bedroom:Bathroom:
That's it! It's sooo tiny! But big enough to have Bible studies and girls nights which is a HUGE blessing! It's also a great location that's easy for people to get to us. I'm really excited to see how God can use our new location. :)

Seagulls and Fish n' Chips

Seagulls....such innocent little birds. They always made me happy, they made me think of the sea...I never had one evil thought that I can remember toward a seagull. I now must renew my thinking and give warning to my fellow friends...seagulls in Cornwall are DANGEROUS.

Last week my flat mate and I were in town during the lunch hour so we thought we'd grab some yummy fish n' chips. I've been craving fish and chips since...well, long before my plane landed on English soil. So, I was quite excited and then we had the lovely thought to head down and enjoy them by the water on the harbor.

As we sat and enjoyed our wonderful meal...these fat cheeky little seagulls came creeping up to us. I didn't feel comfortable seeing how comfortable they were...but we coninued eating. Next thing I know there's a horrid flapping above my head and then a seagull dives at my lap. My fish was gone. *sigh* Such a lovely piece of fish. Cheeky seagulls. :P

All the locals were looking at me like I was crazy and I have since learned it's a very rookie thing to do, eat any kind of food on the harbor. But we all learn some way, don't we?

So, I am now passing on the word to all of you...so that you wont have the same sad experience I did.

I'm also thinking there ought to be a sign there that says: "WARNING: SEAGULLS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO ATTACK WHEN FOOD IS IN HAND"

Happy Birthday Oasis Cornwall!

Celebrating 1 year:

We had an amzing worship service and an incredible turn out of young people which was really exciting.

Isaac made amazing burgers:
We had to say goodbye to a couple of our University girls, Sam and Grace. :(
Sam, Grace and Belinda:

But we'll get to see them again in September/October!

It was an amazing evening. I really felt God's presence in the room and it was such a joyful celebration.

Decorating....

Yesterday we had a big celabration as it is Oasis Cornwall's 1 year birthday. We all got there early and decorated.

The girls all made really cool posters:
