London Layover

I’m at Heathrow waiting for my flight to South Africa, so I thought I might as well write something.

London is beautiful and predictably drizzly. I am experiencing European history, architecture and culture for the first time and I feel even more excited to return for some travel here soon! I am also thinking about the history of a place like this… all that has happened here is amazing and ugly, beautiful and terrible. We have many dark spots in our history as humankind and there are more to come to be certain. I guess I’m thinking about this as I read a book about Rwanda and the genocide. I’m trying so hard to understand how something like this happened in 1994. 1994! Even with how far we’ve come, we are not free from oppression, genocide, even slavery. It’s hard to remember that sometimes when I’m enjoying my life in Canada.

So, it feels good to be on the road again! Flying and layovers aren’t so fun but are well worth it. I am excited to learn, grow, teach, listen and much more. Please continue to pray for me. I want to get all I can out of this experience and I want to share it with you too.

I’m already missing the amazing people who make my life. xoxoxo
