First from Canada

The flight from London to Toronto was actually really good. On wednesday, someone at cell had prayed for me to have amazing views and great conversations with people. I ended up getting both! It was really cloudy and snowy when the plane left London, but quickly cleared up once we were over the ocean. I got to see some amazingly huge ice bergs along the coast of greenland and the vastness of the ocean in itself is staggering! I also had a conversation with my seat partner who is from Austrailia and was travelling to Canada to visit a friend from uni. The accent was awesome :) My 2.5 hour layover in Toronto was primarily filled with clearing through customs and getting things sorted for the flight to Regina. However, of all things i I know this was God, A person that I went to 3 years of Bible college with was in Toronto airport flying to Regina as well. I hadn't seen him in almost a year and it was good to catch up with him. Congratulations to Phil and Triscilla on their engagement! It was just one of those things where I had been thinking about wanting to see someone I knew and literally 2 minutes later Phil walked by me. Thank you God!
It was really nice to see my family and have a big hug from my mom and dad. However, while waiting for my luggage to come onto the conveyor belt (10 minutes after landing), my dad asked me when I was planning on returning to England! Just got home and he's already wondering when i'm leaving. Before I could offer a response to him, he said "As soon as you possibly can right?" I pretty much just nodded my head in agreement because that would be the truth. He then asked me "Can you see yourself making the move over there permanently?" Once again i could only nod my head in agreement. He told me after that he wasn't surprised and said that he and my mom were proud of me with whatever i may decide to do in the coming months. Things are on hold though until I get myself healthy and sorted out at least a little more financially.
Today, i got to go to Walmart. It was great to get 4 rolls of film developed for like 12 pounds! Tomorrow, I am dropping off like 6 more and then the film is done. I do hope to get them put onto c.d. as well. I shall let you know.
Right now my body feels like it is almost 3 am and it is crying for sleep. However, i am forcing myself to stay up so that i can adjust to the time change more quickly....I just dislike the feeling of dragging myself around for a couple of days. Oh well. I switched my laptop time to London time so that way i can keep track of the time over where my other family is!
Ok, i need to go and watch my sister's newest favourite tv show because she says i will get hooked on it. Talk to everyone later and for those in the 24 hour famine, i hope it is going well.
