Milton Keynes

I went to Milton Keynes yesterday with James and Henry. For those of you who do not know where Milton Keynes is, it is a city (people from england correct me if i'm wrong, but MK does have a cathedral making it a city correct?) that is a 30 minute drive north from Luton and it has a huge mall....yes, my kind of place :) Anyways, the purpose of the trip was not for me to go shopping, but for the guys to find dvds for next weekends 24 hour movie marathon. I think they must have spent close to £140 or more on 12 dvds between 3 stores.
After the dvds were bought, we went to go see the indoor ski dome. To me this was a very funny sight: An indoor ski slope with fake snow, but that's just the Canadian side of me talking. In British terms, this is a great idea for people to learn how to ski before they go to Europe or other places for a ski holiday....actually may be the best and only way for them to learn how to ski.(once again correct me if i'm wrong). On our way into the ski dome complex, Henry saw a carnival ride called Velocity (really really high and very fast and flips you upside down while it spins around) and decided he needed to go on it. There was no way on earth i was going to go on this ride, but Henry persuaded James to do so. You should have seen their faces as they came around to the bottom and back up again....absolutely priceless. And then the ride got even faster! I tried to take some pictures, but i don't think they will turn out...a little too dark i think. I laughed so much and it felt good to do so.
The first part of the week was rough, but after thursday night things became really good and once again God proved to be so faithful and awesome. I personally tend to get caught up in panic mode once something goes even a little wrong and i have to admit that i often don't give God enough credit. God taught me to not underestimate the power of prayer, to not get caught up in panic and that God is capable of so much more than i can comprehend! Thank you so much to my family and friends at home, and my Luton family here. You people are so fantastic and i'm so blessed to have all of you in my life. Thanks to my Luton family for your love, encouragement and support this last week. You made me truly feel loved and cared for and that I do belong here! You people are amazing and I am so thankful that God has provided me the opportunity to stay longer here with you.
Much love to all!
