Going to London to Visit the Queen…yes, actually!

It was an amazing service at Kings Christian Centre on Sunday. Great people and an amazing word on ‘Unity’ from THE Ps. Kirk! We then had a meeting with their kid’s team – kids leaders are the same all over the world – passionate, faith-filled and anointed. They are doing great stuff.

We then went to Oxford. A fantastic town with incredible history (like the whole country I guess…) We stayed in the Youth Hostel there and then went for a walk around town to see some of the sites, visited some old churches and saw a TV show being filmed.

After an eventful drive to Heathrow (my first English traffic Jam – not fun) to drop the car off, we caught the train into London to begin the last leg of our tour. We started our London experience with dinner at a pub and a walk to Piccadilly Circus for some Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream.

The next morning, Hannah finally came back into our touring party (which was good because we missed her) we then trekked off to Trafalgar Square to climb the lions, then bussed it to the Tower of London and saw the Crown Jewels, then to Harrods (we just bought chocolates as that was all me could afford) and then back to the Hostel for a quick rest. We later headed out to Oxford Street for a spot of shopping – I didn’t buy anything, but it was fun.

Today we are going to Westminster Abbey and to Whitehall to wait for the Queen to come and open parliament. She will give a wave like she did two years ago – she always likes to come out and greet us when we come over. Then a trip to Compassion UK.

Only one more sleep left :(

See you soon!

Bless ya!
