Progress

Here's a view from our window looking down on a street performer that we literally watch everyday due to the festival. The streets are packed below us all day and evening and will continue for the rest of the month. The atmosphere is electric and so active. Musicians, actors, street performers, comedians....all right out our window. It's rather surreal.

Sorry for the delay, it's been impossible to get consistent internet right now. Again, we've learned quickly that you can't get something done very quickly around here. It all takes time, including installing internet, buying furniture, etc. This week we've moved into our flat, just on the Royal Mile (city centre). The views out our windows (2 in living room, 1 in kitchen and two in our room) overlook the walking street with spectacular views. We're within a five minute walk of the University and right next to possible church locations. This place is small, but a great apartment.

I finally received my computer yesterday....it took over two weeks to get and it was only supposed to take 3 days......We video-taped the opening of the box and viewing the computer just in case......What do you know, it was slightly damaged. There is a spot on the screen now that won't go away.....some sort of malfunctioned pixelation, but it's right in the middle and drives me nuts. It functions fine, but filed a claim with Fedex and they were impressed we video-taped it. We also got pictures, so hopefully we can get something resolved out of this. No suprise, it'll take a few months though.....oh well, at least the computer works!


I've got an article I read today in the newspaper entitled, "schools to teach about gay sex according to new equality legislation." I look forward to commenting on that, and hearing your thoughts out there.

We won't officially get internet for another 2 weeks in this apartment, so we're resorting to expensive purchasing of it in cafe's. We look forward to inputing some video we've taken, as well as more pictures of some things we've experienced thus far.


Also had our first meeting with Tony and Mike about the church-plant. It went exceptionally well and look forward to detailing some of our most recent thoughts. We've got an exciting group and Tony continues to impress me the more I get to know him. He has very unique insight into the status of our culture as well as fresh perspectives in the word that has only inspired me to continue to search the scriptures.

I can't tell you how excited we are, and I was telling Tony the other day.....there isn't anywhere else we'd rather be right now doing what we're about to embark on.......wow we're pumped, and not in an overemotional, flippant sort of way. We really sense such a connection to the Lord's timing right now.


Sorry for the random thoughts, don't have time, it's late and need to sleep.
