Wow, here I am! In London! There were points when I didn't think this day would come! Basically, in my last week before I was due to move to London, everything went wrong! My accommodation, my finances, my bank account, my course application, everything! It was a very stressful time and I sometimes thought about whether I should just cancel my application and just come next year. But, after talking to some amazing friends, and very determined, wonderful women from my church, I decided to just keep going, being backed up by a lot of prayer!!!

When a Christian moves away to be a "missionary", there are always many issues coming up before they can leave, and often they are put there by the enemy to distract and confuse us as to our direction, and to demotivate us. So, when I had all of this opposition, it actually gave me a huge confirmation that God was going to do big things in London! And I would have the incredible privilege of being some small part of it!

I did eventually find a place to live, and saw Gods faithfulness, as it is such a perfect location, and although it is not in Student owned accommodation, I am sure God has a plan through that. It really is an amazing find, and I have no doubt that God had this place ready for me before I could even imagine!

I went to church on Sunday, and went to ChristChurch London, and it was amazing. I really loved it, I met some really lovely people, and even though the "oficial welcome" to new people is next week, I still felt very welcome :) It is quite a big church, but not huge, and I have been told it is a very exciting time for the church because many of the ministries are really developing, and the main church meeting will split into two meetings as of next week. The idea being that then there will be more space for new people to come! It really felt like a very genuine church.

On Sunday after the church meeting, I walked along the river towards my home, past the London Eye, saw the houses of Parliment, Big Ben, The tate, haha, i am so incredibly lucky. But the most incredible thing is that God has called me here. I know that. Without his calling, this would just be another empty city, but I get so excited when I pray for this city, I just want to shout about it!

^{Exodus 33:13-17} If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people." The LORD replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." Then Moses said to him, "If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?" And the LORD said to Moses, "I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name."

**Please join me in praying for London, it is such a city of influence, and I really feel god wants us to pray for the Government, the Houses of Parliment, the rulers of this country.

**Please pray for my first weeks, pray that I may get settled, and find my place in this big city!

The adventure has by no means ended :) hahaha!!
