Across The Pond

My heart has always belonged to Uganda. Most don't understand how I can have such a deep love for a country and its people without ever stepping foot within its boundaries, but God has always caused me to have such passion for other cultures. Lately He has grown my heart for the United Kingdom. I have always been fascinated with European culture, being that that is where my ancestors are from. But lately my desire to learn and hopefully even move to the UK has sky-rocketed.

~A Few Facts About The UK ~

-Made up of four countries. (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland)

-Population is over 60 million

-An Englishmen drinks more tea than any person of any other nation

-Is an extremely diverse nation.

-Is the birthplace of Newton, Shakespeare, Darwin, and the Beatles.

-Manchester United is the world's richest football (soccer) club.

-Currently, alcohol and drug abuse are extremely big issues there.

I'm not sure where God is going to lead me, but in the mean time I'm going to allow the Lord to grow my heart for Him and His beautiful people. I am so excited to see how He moves me and my heart for missions this coming fall in Africa.
