wow flying over new york was sooooo good! it was a little bumpy when we went lower but was gorgeous view. i saw the empire state building, ground zero, statue of liberty...it was all spectacular!
we also saw this amazing show last night, it was in this huge christian theatre and was called 'in the beginning' which was all based on genesis...they had live animals coming on and off stage. true story. (dogs, horses, sheep, goats, ducks, llamas) and it was truly a beautiful set, almost a 360 panoramic stage and it was just beautiful.
also went shopping :D this was particularly good since later this evening mum's bag was delivered but mine wasnt :( apparently we should get it tomorrow but since i have new clothes its not too bad.
today we went to church, it was an ok service, all about missionaries...my favourite part was when the guy told the congregation that we need to stand together and spread the word across europe because they are crying out as a continent for god's love. it made me feel called to maybe travel to england and spread the word since its obviously not being spread there already.....can you feel my sarcasm??
it annoyed me a bit but apart from that the service had an amazing youth band...the lead singer/guitarist was cute too which helped hehe :)
this evening we're having a graduation/18th birthday/just coz we're here party....putting some burgers on the grill and then having fireworks :D mostly all for me lol i love my godmother, all the family have been brilliant actually.
Joe took me driving earlier, using an automatic was easier than i thought, i got confused when there was no clutch though hehe and kept trying to drive on the left hand side (we were in an empty parking lot so it didnt matter too much though)
i've just realised that i've used like 4 or 5 american phrases already...i hope my accent isnt changing hehe although i'll probably bring back some phrases and spread them to my friends!
i'll be back on wednesday and babysitting that evening :O i'll be tired but who cares. and then thursday i might be meeting up with anna, hannah and beth to organize the greatest space social ever!!! a formal dinner and dance, ball type thing :D suits and dresses, jazz music, food, party favours, invitations, all very formal and grown up hehe. it'll also be a good way to introduce the new youth members who are coming up but also say goodbye to those who are leaving!
anyway i'm off to read my book outside, its about 90 F and sunny and gorgeous!
much love xxxxxx
