I made it!

Hello Everyone!

Sorry it has taken me so long to let you all know how I am doing. The staff at the base had to check our computers to make sure they were up to date on anti virus software, and they didn't do that until earlier today sooooo this is the first time I have gotten to turn on my computer.

So I left LAX on Friday the 29th and after a lovely 17 hours of traveling I arrived in Glasgow, Scotland! My first thought when I was walking to grab my luggage and looking out the window was...Wow, this place looks exactly like Fresno. It was slightly unnerving actually haha. Thankfully I got on the bus to take me to the Central Rail Line and actually managed to figure out the right change in pounds on the first try! Yay me...the bus driver seemed proud of me haha. On the way I discovered that Glasgow is actually gorgeous with all of its amazing architecture! Once you get into the city itself it is amazing. When I got to the tracks I met up with a girl named Allison who is also a student in this DTS and we took the train together to West Kilbride, which is the sweet little town I am staying in. When we arrived some of the YWAM Seamill staff met us and brought us to the YWAM Seamill center which honestly looks like a castle...and is as drafty as you would expect a castle to be ;) I'll be posting pictures soon of the base and the people in it.

Over these last couple days we have taken a couple walks into the village, the beach, and a famous Scottish Castle which I cannot even begin to remember the name of lol. This place is so beautiful! These last few days have been sunny and people have been slightly confused about it. However, around 3 pm today the rain finally came and it only helped the beauty of this charming sea side community :)

Today we started class which was more of a orientation than anything but still fun none the less. We had about an hour and a half of worship this morning which was one of the most powerful experiences of my life thus far. God was in the room and there was no denying it! Being around so many people so hungry for God is such a beautiful thing to see. It is definitely encouraging to us students that we have such wonderful and passionate staff members to watch over us and teach us about our Lord :)

Well that is all for now I will update again as soon as I can...but right now I have to go back down to the classroom before bed for a response meeting. I am already missing you all so much. Please write to me! My email is Ldnhappy22@hotmail.com. God bless you all!
