London is BIG

So big that you can't do everything you want!! A girls gotta sleep. I'm exhausted but wanted to write. Sorry for bad grammar or spelling errors.

Once again I've had awesome deep chats with many girls about God, the purpose of life etc.
When travelling you get to play Mum, friend and confidant to others frequently. People need someone to talk with and in a 16 bed doorm you meet a lot of girls.

It is weird going to such a England and its wealth after Poland, makes me struggle a little because Poland wants to be more like England or America yet on the news last night they said that although English people are safer then they have been since the early 80's and richer than ever they are less happy. Materials versus purpose........

The best thing I did yesterday was see the changing of the guards and go on a cruise of the river Thames run by City Cruise. The driver did a commentary with the perfect balance of history and humour. Today I went to the wax museum, which was a lot of fun-the staff are super friendly. I also went to Buckingham Palace and marvelled at the art, clothes and jewellery of the Queen.

I leave London at 9:40am on Thursday and get back to Perth 5pm Friday. England is on strict terror alert (every day there are more suspects arrested or roads blocked off due to suspect packages) so please pray for a safe flight. Also this week I saw a girl get hit by a motorcycle and my bus hit a guy so I am being so cautious crossing the busy roads.

Love you all and see you soon!

Where ever you are.....

....you are a missionary! God had me in Belgium-I was able to talk heaps about him with a friend I made and to help her settle in as she is moving to Belgium for 6 months. Now I am in London, went to St Pauls Cathedral this morning. It was amazing, very diferent to home but an awesome sermon and beautiful music and surroundings. This arvo was Camden Markets and now just chilling at the backpackers.

The last day in Poland was great. I was invited to a ladies craft night through the 3rd Baptist Church. We learnt how to make baskets out of newspapers. It was very cool.

Today the weather is perfect, tomorrow who knows??? Apparently if you hope for good weather you get dissapointed but if you hope for interesting weather it is always granted!
