Well I really just wanted to upload this video, pictures coming soon. I've managed to get some up on facebook, but these take a bit more time. This was inside the great cathedral on sunday, Lisanne and I walked in a few minutes before the "worship" ended so we got to hear the amazing organ. The experience was surreal, let me assure you. Walking into a building with tons of history dating back to the early first century was incredible in itself; the eerie yet beautiful organ music ringing through the halls made it feel like a step back in time. Today was the first official "lecture day", but really it was more an introduction to living as a community at the base and what that entails. The location for our lectures is at Eden Community Church, about a ten to fifteen minute walk from the base. We trainees headed out to the church provided only with a map and not super specific directions and attempted to make our way to the location. To use the simplest explanation possible, we got lost. Although we had already walked around town quite a bit, this part of Carlisle had not been highly traversed by any of our five pairs of feet as of yet, so finally we were found and brought to the church a half an hour after they expected us to be there. Despite this, however, we had a good time and are slowly adjusting to this new culture and living situation. Love you all and thanks for the prayers!
