adventure in the UK p4


Thanks yet again for being interested in reading the stories of God in my life. I hope you have been enjoying them and still have the same enthusiasm to this last bit of adventure I had in the UK.
beach in Gulberwick
Gulberwick
It was my last night with Frank and Lillian. I promised to cook some Filipino food for them and a few others came. We had a great evening together after the meal. It was a pleasure to be able to share a little bit of where I come from, and was asked to show some pictures of home – Finland and the Philippines.

at the Bolney House garden
Again I was surprised with how things worked out for my accommodation in a place where I knew very few people. Andrew contacted his sister living in W. Sussex and she came to meet me at the train station. I really liked her. We had great time of conversations, walk in her garden, and she lives near a very old church, built in the 12th century, if I'm not mistaken. I also got to spend some precious time with the Lord at a small cottage in her garden. It was almost like a secret garden. (More feature pictures & notes later.)
Holsmted Manor

surprised to see Corina
Then I went to Holmsted Manor, another YWAM base in England, for about four days. I was so surprised to see a few familiar faces there. Then on my birthday, it was a never ending embarrassment, as I am not used to that kind of attention. Anyhow, I was so glad it was over.
My last few days were spent with my cousin, whom I haven' t seen in years. It was great getting to know her family. (See pictures below.) They blessed me as much I did to them. I'm so grateful to have not just a blood-related family but an extended family in Christ.
