I don’t know what today is but it’s my first day in Swaziland, Africa! Mollie, I relayed the message to Natalie that you love her, and Bailey and Kari I gave her a hug from both of you. The weather is absolutely beautiful! I was playing football and jumping on the trampline with some kids and didn’t even sweat. You’re probably thinking I didn’t play hard enough but not really-the weather is bEauTIfuL!
So, the last few days I was in London, and I fell in LOVE. The weather was gorgeous! As I got off the plane Armando from Hillsong picked me up and my (according to the airport) overweight luggage. He gave me 20 minutes to shower and get ready for service. When I get home I’ll have to post the video, but it was incredible! I’m having trouble uploading pictures but I doing my best….it takes FOREVER!
The picture of the roof top is where Mary Poppins and the crew danced around! That’s the kind of sight seeing I like to do. Mom, I got a picture of the Bookstore from Notting Hill just for you.
The CRAZIEST thing happened in London….you will NOT believe this but I am going to tell you anyway. I was walking around the streets of London and I hear “Kristin”. My first thought was it’s not me they are calling because I am all by myself on the other side of the world, but I turned just to see what was going on and it’s my college roommate, Candice!! We were in total shock and couldn’t speak for like a minute. It was so crazy and we got to hang out the next day. THAT IS SO STINKIN’ CRAZY!
Now I know why they teach us to look both ways when crossing the street because when you’re in another country the cars drive on the wrong side of the road. Yes, I say “wrong” because this guy said “oh, yeah, in America you drive on the wrong side of the road.” My reply was, “Why is our way ‘wrong’?”
Currently, I am at the Healing Place Campus in Swazi enjoying the internet. It is a rare thing around these parts.
XOXOXO,
Kristin

Hopefully your bag will be significantly lighter coming back than it was going over. I can’t imagine how you lugged an 80+ lb bag.

Ok you know the saying “it’s a small world!” Well guess what I think you and Candice have definitely proved that!!! That gave me chills!
