It's almost been a month since I moved to Colchester. I can't believe how fast the time has gone.
I love it here. Sometimes you wait for something for so long and then when it finally comes you realize the joy there was in waiting. That's how I feel now. This has been such a long journey to come to this point in my life and now the anticipation is over. In ever way possible I am in the right place in my life: spiritually, physically, emotionally and mentally. There's so much joy when you are right with God. So much joy when you are in his will. My prayer is for all of you to come to that place wherever the Lord may lead you. There is so much joy!
I've been busy these last weeks.
Yes I'm still adjusting! It will still take time, but I'm adjusting very well.
The hardest things for me to get use to are the weather and the language. Yes, I said the language!
It's cold over here. It's getting in the 40s now. That's a little to cold for a girl from Miami!
I do sometimes have a hard time understanding what people are saying. I find myself constantly asking the question,"What?"
I'm trying to remember new words like cell phone is mobile, pants are trousers, and washing dishes is the washing up. I'll get the hang of it one of these days!
Another thing I've noticed is, instead of people asking "How are you?" Many times they ask "Are you alright?" It was strange at first hearing this, because I kept thinking, "why does everyone keep asking me if I'm alright? Do I look sad or something?" Ha! No I've now realized they are just asking how I am doing.
Here are some pictures from my time here so far. If you would like to see more you can check out my facebook albums England Life Part 1 and England Life Part 2
