I've Arrived!

So, I have safely arrived in Oxford, England and I am comfortably situated in my room with my other three roommates, Gina (20), Hosanna (19), and Danielle (20). Danielle and I had a very tiring day travelling but we managed just fine. No troubles at all, thank the Lord! We didn't have to pay for our bus fare today, so that is a huge blessing! It just so happened that something was broken so that we didn't have to pay a fare. The driver just put our luggage on the bus and told us to get in. There were several other Best Semester students travelling with us at this point. Danielle and I were thankful that we were able to save the money for the one hour bus ride. Otherwise, it would have been expensive!

So here are just a few photos from the first day:


My sweet Benjamin and I before I left Lake Wales. Parting is such sweet sorrow. :(

Danielle and I at the Orlando Airport. This is where our journey began. :)

Representing Warner Southern College!


With Daddy and Momma, just finished eating some yummy Chick-Fil-A! :)


Sitting on the plane, awaiting the take-off!

And, along the bus ride we saw...



The bus driver forgot to stop at the Gypsy Lane bus stop so we ended up getting a taxi to take us straight to The Vines. Pictures of The Vines will be coming soon. It's gorgeous! For now, just enjoy the pictures of our lovely room:

Saturday will be much more exciting and eventful. We are going around and looking at different grocery stores. We should be pretty sore of walking by the evening. I plan on purchasing three phone cards tomorrow for a very good price!

I have been very contemplative today. I am a bit overwhelmed with the course load but I look forward to all the challenges I am determined to overcome! :) Continue to pray for Danielle and me! I love you all!
