The ecclesiastical purple and the pagan orange symbolizing the mystical symbiosis in marriage between the heathen and Christian traditions

So its been a while since my last post. I've actually been busy! Classes went well this week, starting to get a work load. On Wed, I went shopping! Then Kim and I went to London, and served with Hillsong at their Europe Conference. It was an awesome experience, and I am starting to fee like that is my church. It was totally exhausting, standing up for 4 hours patroling the line and pointing people in the right direction, but so much fun! And I got a cool teeshirt. This is Kim and me on the tube.

So that was basically the end of my week. Today, we had a field trip to Stonehenge and Bath. It was very fun. I was exhausted. It was fun. Stonehenge was cool. I've seen 2 wonders of the world now. only 6 more.

Then we went to a place called Bath (pronounced Both...if you say if wrong people correct you. it's quite funny) We had pizza for lunch. Pretty center pieces.

While waiting for our walking tour, we found a big floor map that you could take off your shoes and walk around on. So basically I went to America today.

but I had to come back. sorry guys, I love it too much!

Then we took a walking tour of the city. Everything i required to be built of this sandstone so the city maintains its coherance. The stone is mined just outside the city. During WWII, paintings and priceless furniture from the palace and national galleries and museum were taken to those rock quaries to protect them. Alot of Bath was bombed during the war. Acording to our tour guide, this was because it was one of the most beautiful cities in the country, so Hilter chose it in retaliation for the allies(?) bombing his beautiful cities. Its rebuilt now obviously. These are private town-homes. Nicholas Cage just sold his here for something like £4 mil. He bought a castle outside the city instead.

The city is called Bath because its built around an ancient (like 45bc) roman bath that made use of the only natural hot spring in Britian. So these are from inside it. Its really amazing. Too bad my camera died before I could actually take some good pictures of it.

You can see the spring coming up in the top right corner of the water. It looks like its boiling, but actually, its from the pressure of the water rising to the surface of the earth. the hot springs "pump" something like 1 mil liters of hot water a day out and into these baths. Very cool...well hot(120 f) I thought.

On the way home we watched 4 weddings and a funeral. very funny. thats where the title of this post comes from. The speaker is talking about a dress. i found it appropriate.

Tomorrow Hillsong, then back to class for another week! I can't believe I've been here for a month. Its so strange. 1/3 of my time here is over. I don't quite know how to feel about that.

Continue to pray for boldness and that I love people. Some days with some people its hard, and I don't want to be that person.

Cheers!
