England was amazing, and so was the concert! We had an absolute blast, and it was great to be able to understand the language...well, kinda. We got to see the University of Birmingham, watch some futbol, drive on the left side of the road, go out for a curry, experience The Mighty Boosh on BBC, drink English tea, and eat Marmite on toast. It was SO cold, and it even snowed the day we left!
The Christmas market in downtown Birmingham
A glimpse of Selly Oak, the student neighborhood where we stayed next to the University of Birmingham
Double Decker!
COLDPLAY!!!!!
Today, I have just been recovering-haha. Taxis, trains, planes, and buses really suck the energy right out of a person. I had the pleasure of joining David in one of his lessons today with two older gentleman: Franco and Celistino. They were sweet and really funny!
David has a cousin here visiting, and Brandon, Kristen, and Charlotte made it back from their visit to the States today! Tomorrow, they and Chad will head down to Catania. A group of students from the Harding University program in England will be arriving tonight as well.
Sad news to report: Luigi, the oldest man from the Florence congregation, passed away yesterday. His funeral is tomorrow morning.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!!
