Reflections on our Internship

For six weeks this summer, we were both extraordinarily blessed to spend time with St. George's Church, Holborn, in London, England.  We went into this internship with only a vague idea of what we wanted to learn, more of an attitude of just trying to soak as much up as we could.  Our expectations were completely surpassed, and the Lord not only taught us things through the wonderful people of St. George's, and those of the church in England, but also blessed us tremendously through prophecies, words, prayers, and dreams.  Below are some of our reflections on what we learned and what we received.

Scholars, Harry Potter, and Friends

This past weekend we traveled to two of the most famous universities in the world, Cambridge University and Oxford University.  We were fortunate enough to be taken to both places by students or former students, so we got a bit of an inside scoop.  We have also been able to visit our good friends from Trinity, Jon and Sarah Hall, who are over visiting family in Croxley Green.  We will talk about the ending of our time with St. George's and our reflections in a separate post.  For this one, we'll just stick to the fun touristy stuff.

Sunny Views and Nights Out

Over the past week, we've had a few more days of exploring parts of London, including the London Eye, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, Regent's Park, and Primrose Hill.  We also had some more lunch and dinner meetings, went out on boys nights and girls nights, and took lots of naps in between.  We have also had the opportunity to reflect on our time in England and with St. George's as our internship with the church comes near to a close.

Lunches and Brain Experiments

Since coming back from Focus we have continued to explore London and to connect with the people of St. George's.  We have also been able to enjoy being in the host city for the Olympics while the great games happen, which has been a lot of fun.  Perhaps the most surprising aspect of the last few days has been our participation in brain experiments...
