Goodbye England

In 18 hours I will be leaving on a flight back to the Czech Republic where I will be staying for a few days. I have had an awesome time in London and have gotten to know many wonderful people that I will miss. This week involved a lot of random odds and ends, but it was good.

Monday, Sam and I went to Dover for the Bank Holiday. In the morning we explored Dover Castle and the World War II tunnels snaking beneath it. The afternoon involved hiking along the white cliffs and taking in some amazing views. It was a great trip.

Paper writing and editing occurred on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I am one footnote away from finishing my second (and final) paper! I just need a source back at IBTS. I have loved researching and writing this semester and I hope to continue it sometime in the future.

Other events this week included a visit the research heaven, otherwise known as
the British Library, viewing the Rosetta Stone at the British Museum, and playing Settlers with my friends from Wood Green Mennonite Church. All in all a good week.

I continue to work on job applications and am starting to diversify the locations where I look for jobs. Your prayers continue to be appreciated in this area. I'm not sure when I'll post again as my family is coming to visit this week and we will be doing a lot of traveling. Yay! Pray for safe journeys for us all.

It has been a joy sharing my work and adventures with you and thank you all for the opportunity to do so. I have been blessed beyond measure. Peace. R
