Sunday morning

Good morning!
it is an absolutely beautiful morning here in the UK. I got up around 7:30 and went running in the local park. There are several blocks throughout the city that are made into gardens for a "green space" in the midst of the big city. The one right down the street from the Pickwick is Russell Sguare. We are attending Westminster Abbey this morning, which is the Queen's parish. We will be riding the Tube to get there! I must say, I rather love the city life. Riding the Tube and walking everywhere is just much more desirable than driving. Of course, everything is close together here, generally, so walking is much more feasible than in Texas. I love that about London!
Yesterday we split into groups and participated in a scavenger hunt in order to learn our way around the city. My knees were killing me after six straight hours of walking! But the Lord allowed me some good rest over the night and I was able to run about 1.5 miles with no pain!
I have discovered Pret a Manger (say it with a French accent), which isn't actually that difficult considering they are everywhere! It is a delicious place to eat! I have been trying to eat rather healthfully, and London makes it easy. The falafel and haloumi wrap has been my favorite! Of course, I have tried the obligatory fish and chips and some sticky toffee pudding (think ginger cake), which were not too bad. I think I prefer fresher food though. No ales have been tried yet ;) though I had a fabulous glass of wine last night at a pub called The Enterprise off of Theobold Street.
I am loving everything London has to offer so far. We start classes tomorrow morning! The Lord has been showing me a lot, as well as testing me already. I am looking forward to worshipping at the Abbey!
I love you all and thanks for reading!
There will definitely be many more posts to come. If anyone wants to email me personally, my address is sfforester@mail.umhb.edu.
Cheers,
