London Day3
First off I am just going to ramble you don’t have to read any of it.
Okay, let see, day three and the jet lag is mostly gone now, but I am still tired. The first day Bro. Steve picked me up at the airport and took to his house. As soon as I went threw the front door I was attacked by a mob of red heads and received a hug from each one, even the two year old who has never seen me. After bring in all the junk from the van, and talking to the kids for a few minutes I headed to London with a hand drawn map of the area that Lisa had made for me. From the house it’s about a ten minutes walk to the tube station. From there it’s a 15-20 min ride into central London. The first time I went into the city I had no idea what stop to get off, so I guessed and I came out in a business district with very high buildings so I didn’t know where to go. So I just started walking, about 15 minutes later I came around the corner and there
was Westminster Abby and Big Ben. I spent a few hours looking around, but I had not slept the night before, and it was 7:00 a.m. my time and 12:00 p.m. here in London. So I when back to the house had Chinese with the Messersmith’s and a couple from the church, and then pulled nursery duty during church. The first hour was fine, but the next half hour tested my self-control, remember I had not slept the night before.
The next day I when back into London and took the bus tour around town. Once it got dark I made my way to the British Museum and spent about two hours there. It was very strange and awesome to stand next to and touch objects that had been made around three thousand years ago. Then I pulled a Daddy and started giving the guides a hard time about giving the artifacts back to the countries of origin :-)
That about sums up everything so far. There have been a few problems I had to work through but nothing big. One was when I came out of the museum the tube station was packed and overflowing into the

yeah, i would cut all the trees down before i would drive that. sidewalk, so I jump on a bus, and I had absolutely no idea where it was going, yeah that was fun! But I was lucky and a few stops later I was at a different tube station. The cool thing about that was I did not get freaked out because I had an all-day pass for the tube and bus and I didn’t have to get back at any certain time, so I just enjoyed the ride. Bro. Sanger asked me before I left if I thought I was going to get lost. I told him that this type of trip you don’t get lost, it just takes longer to get there. So, yes technically (I have no idea what that word means) I have gotten lost several times, but every time I eventually got where I wanted. So thanks for reading till next time.
Cheers

Was that Ross, he did a lot of that here too, apparently he gets most of his sermons through visions.
