Digestives are Delicious!!

Let me begin this post by making a quick vent:

Bill O'Reilly makes me want to vomit green goo from my ears. That man makes me cringe, LITERALLY. My skin crawls when I think about how much I dislike that man and the way he hosts his show. Would someone PLEASE shove a soccer player's pair of unwashed lucky socks in his mouth?

Onward.

This past week, I got together with two of my friends and we went grocery shopping. We found a British food section in two different grocery stores! How exciting is that?!

Julie (one o' th' friends I was with) told me that our friend, Jamos (he's Scottish, and he went to Reiny-Land last year) said that he loved Digestives, some sort of cookie-thing that the British like. We found then, we ate them, and they were SO GOOD.
If you can manage to get your hands on some of these fine English biscuits, DO SO!

Oh, and I got a British Tea Blend from PG Tips. It smells delightful. I'm extatic about trying this tea!
After Creekside deposits the check that I wrote today, a total of $1,610 will have been contributed!! That means that I am ALMOST half way there!!
I'm pretty close finalizing the Health Insurance shtuff. That should be done some time this week. After that, I'm left with paying Time For God for the gracious support that they will be providing for me. Whooooot!!

That's right...you folks don't know that I got my plane ticket!!

I managed to get a direct flight on British Airways from Atlanta to Heathrow that departs at 9:15 and arrives in the UK at 10:20. This is the very flight that I have been looking for since I started looking for flights! I didn't think it would be possible to find something as good as this, but I found out about it when I went to MTS Travel. I found out about MTS when I contacted the International Mission Board, and they graciously gave me a list of the different travel agencies that they use when they send missionaries.

My flight is BA0226. I'm sitting on 29K...which is a window seat.... :-D

HOO-FREAKING-RAY!!

Now, I continue to pray for the remaining $3,000. I'm still nervous, and I'm still not sure if this will all work out. I certain pray so.
