Arrival In North Carolina

Arrival In North Carolina

Today's the first day here in NC, and it's 85 degrees over here!

The journey went without any problems, I stopped over in New York for a connection flight, and since it was my first flight where I've had to change planes, I got a bit stuck with some of the things I had to do. Thankfully though, the New Yorkers were very patient and were always eager to help... :S

I arrived at the airport at around 7:30pm, and Mary, Jordan and Christian were there with banner saying "The British Are Coming"! We went for something to eat at Taco Bell on the way home (Yes, my first experience of America was a fast food restaurant!). We got to the house at around 8:30, where I was introduced to Sarah the dog and Dumbledore the cat, and shown around the house. If it looks big on the outside, it's huge on the inside! After unpacking, I went to bed to sleep off the jet lag.

Today, I took a trip up to the church with Doug to help put up some posters advertising the Truck Or Treat event (an alternative to Trick or Treat). It's 11:10 here now, and so for the rest of the day, we'll be at a fellowship dinner at an event called Wednesday Night Revolution, and I'll be going to a band practice later on to see what's happening there.

Hi Chris
First time on your blog site, but all very interesting.
Wow, how exciting it must be for you.
Your mum phoned me when she got back from the airport, you know me i could have cried then, then she texted me the next day to say you had landed safe and sound.
God is so good!
Have a great time while you are there, how humbling it will be to go to Mississippi and help.
Give my love to Mary, Doug, Jordan and Kristian, and especially sent to you too!
Love you loads
Pat xx

Great to know you have arrived safely and are already getting stuck into it all. We had your latest update in church this morning and Trevor pinned your JMA badge on to your picture on screen.
We are all thinking and praying that God will bless you richly in this exciting experience.
Look forward to the next instalment.
Love, Edith
