The British Museum

We also got to have a tour of Biblical history in the British Museum. It was so cool seeing actual historical evidence that is inline with the Bible. It was also cool to be able to touch something that was in a palace somewhere thousands of years ago. And it was cool to see that my tattoo did actually match up with history and that early christians wanted so badly to display that they were reborn and changed that they put the chi rho on everything including floor tiles and silverware. Also they had the rosetta stone which was crazy to see in person. 

London

During the England study trip I was able to go into London with 3 other people from our team and work in a coffee shop for the homeless. It was such an awesome experience. I served coffee and tea. They had birthday cake for everyone who had a birthday that week and it made me cry thinking about the homeless that might not have had someone tell them happy birthday or make them a cake. One time I went to a friends house and his dad offered to make us grilled cheese sandwiches and it was kinda crazy because the cheese sandwich tasted like it had been made with love. So when I made the coffee and handed it to them I prayed that they could feel that they were loved by God and me because they are. Also, it was just really cool to see how people come together and do things like make a coffee shop once a week for the homeless. I love how God uses people. When we left the coffee shop we got to ride a double decker bus and it just so happened that our stop was the last one. So I got to ride on the top of the double decker bus in the front seat with the whole window looking out on the London night. It was amazing but unfortunately I left my phone in my room so I didn't get any pictures. God is so good though:) Because what are the odds that I would get to go to London at night and get such a grew seat. It was like a free tour. Also, we got to ride the train there and back which was just like the Hogwarts Express and we went through Kings Cross station where I dragged my group of 3 guys all the way to find platform 9 3/4 and took a picture with the cart and then I got to go to the Harry Potter store!! I bought the bertys botts beans and a chocolate frog and two pins and it was lovely. Then on the way home we stopped and got fish and chips which was really good.

On another day we got to go into London to shop and sight see. I bought a pair of converse because a.) they're 3 times more expensive in Norway than in London b.) I didn't pack any type of sneakers or shoes like that and c.) why buy a cheap souvenir when you can buy a pair of shoes and say you bought them in London? I also bought a pink scarf which I wore in the finnmark ( the north part of Norway) and I looove it. I also got a pair of sweatpants because I didn't pack those either. They're okay but I ripped a hole in them when I attempted to jump a fence and also they turn my legs black haha. Then after shopping we met up after going on the tube system (the subway system that is insanely confusing and busy) and went and ate chinese food in chinatown. It was really good. Then I went with a few people to go see Big Ben and the London Eye. It was raining a ton and it was dark but I loved it!!! The rain was fun and Big Ben was attached to a building.. I always had thought it was by itself but regardless I thought it was gorgeous. I'd love to go back someday.
