one day carla and i went to southend.... we drove all the way there for the sole purpose of getting donuts. they have these amazing donuts.... oh man they are ridiculously good!
yeah glow stick power. we went to a bonfire party and they handed out glow sticks to the kids.... yep i was considered a kid at this party. but hey if it snags me a glow stick i don't mind!
a nice relaxing evening in we decided to do face masks. Charl and i just like to be chill like that.
this is us on our pilgrimage week. we went to the oldest recorded town in Britain, Colchester. we had to set up two prayer rooms that week and this is the wailing wall that we set up at one of them. It is where we can write down our prayer... it pretty sweet.
this is one of the other prayer rooms we set up. we set this one up for 12-16 year old girls so we built this den that they could crawl into. it was really cool and turned out amazing!
here is the finish product of the prayer room. the room was completely bare when we walked in. we had to set up that tent. the den is to the right it was an african theme prayer room so we had drums and lions up too!
here is Charl mid-prayer room set up! it can be a lot of work setting up a prayer room... and breaks are needed
we went shopping one day and i found an elephant carving! i love elephants and wanted this really bad... but it was like 100s of pounds... so i just took a picture instead.
gemma and i in the car... always ganstahhhh!!
one night charl and i got a little bored so we cling filmed our host door shut... what can i say... don't let me get bored...
we went to an art opening in london and this was one of the pieces that i really enjoyed. they took photos of people with paper stuck to their faces, then they took the paper that was on the peoples faces and hung that in front of the picture, the they took a mesh wire molds and hung that in front of those pictures... it was really cool!
we went to harrods a famous department store in london... at night they light it all up it was really pretty. i enjoyed looking around there a lot!
here we are in london waiting for the bus. it can get boring just like in america! haha i actually think we posed for this picture to be fair!
here i am outside our house with the great umbrella that karen gave me before i left... i put it to good use all the time! thank you so much for that karen!!
this is carla, my host, and i making a stuffed charl (are other housemate) when she went out and left us alone in the house!!
