Fireworks

Guy Fawkes Day has come and gone, and there were some spectacular fireworks at a nearby palace but we knew that there would be thousands and thousands of people there and I didn't want to be shoulder to shoulder with them. So we climbed up on our roof and watched them from there. We couldn't hear the music but we could see them fairly well.

When we took a trip to York this summer we found the house that Guy Fawkes was born in.

The weather here has been dreary and rainy. Very much what I thought London would be like but hasn't been until the last six months.

We had Krista Ehst over for supper tonight. She is a Goshen College Graduate from Pennsylvania who is here for six months doing an internship with the Anabaptist Network. The Franconia conference has sent her to work with and report on the Urban Expression churches and their outreaches in East London. These are missional churches that are trying to draw in new people to Christ as well as those who have become disillusioned with the institutional church. The hope is for her to take some of these ideas back to the States to see if they will work there.
