Hi all, it’s Garrett. Right now I am forty thousand feet high in our atmosphere on board our plane home! A quick rundown of yesterday: We had Messy Monkeys again and the football camp, but we got touching goodbyes with both groups. I did “Coaches Corner” at FC—I got to take predetermined questions from the campers. I could relate to them better since they are closer to my age. Tim wanted me to, through the questions, explain why I am a Christian, to show that it isn’t only for the adults. From the feedback I received from the coaches, I did well and it makes me think that that’s why God wanted me to be in London—or maybe one reason.
We received gifts from both camps: Messy Monkey mugs from MM, and funny certificates from FC. Also, David (the pastor at Hayes Lane) and his family had going away gifts for us as well. I got a funny poster that is “Cricket, as explained to a foreigner.” It’s hilarious!!!
The only thing about yesterday was this: we got to bed late, and could only sleep until 4:30am. When Dad and I got up, it was only 11:30pm back in Rock Hill, so Mom probably hadn’t even gone to sleep!
This week in London has been one of the most incredible experiences of my life. To my new friends in Bromley, to those who supported us with prayer and finances, and especially to God, I can only say one thing:
“Thank you.”
God bless, Garrett
