Arrival!

Well, that was a journey!

I have been awake now for over 24 hours and I have to stay awake until at least 7 my time here.
which is five hours ahead of you guys back home.

Have you ever wondered what it looks like to see every part of the day on the ocean?
I experienced that today.
I started off in daylight ended with the start of a new day.
I watched the sky change from different shades of blue to a piercing orange and red sunrise that was breath-taking.

The airport was hectic! I almost missed a flight.
And when I got to London I had to go through customs before I could get to my next gate.
It was a little stressful but all I had to do was rely on God and not let the stress control me. He knows what he's doing and I don't need to worry about a thing.

So far today, I've made it to the university that I am going to be studying at for the first three weeks of my journey.
Edge Hill University.
Its about 45 minutes away from Manchester.
We recieved a tour of the campus and I've only met 6 of the 32 people that are studying with me.
We are about to have dinner at 5 where we will all finally meet!

I'm living in a dorm hall called Elm and the people I've met so far have been increadibly nice!
This is just a quick bit about whats going on right now. The day is still full ahead of me for its only 4:20 here!

I love you guys! and I'll keep you updated!
