Bank id and password are in order and my bags are in C building waiting patiently to be swept away to undiscovered adventures. I decided to walk down the hill just to see if my visa had arrived and to wait there just in case. I pass my travel buddy Mack and his dad on their way to the airport to catch our flight. I walk in the office and no word about my visa has been heard, but just moments later a beautiful man walks around the corner thin plastic UPS package in hand. Jim pitman offers to get my bags and to drive me to the airport while I call the travel agent and buy my airplane ticket.

Emily is my travel agent and she did not answer, but Ted did. To my great surprise Ted actually owns the agency (take a moment to let that sink in). He says he can't find my ticket and that it would be $2,000.00 to fly over on this flight. While I am talking to Ted, Jim is making phone calls to other CLC people. Bill Almack says "No she has a booking she just needs to claim it with a credit card." Ted says, "Hold on I'm going to check this out I will call you back." Long story short he calls back and just $900.00 later I have a plane ticket. By this time I am standing in line in front of Mack to get my boarding pass and check my bags. Technically Mack got there first, but He was in the wrong line. I hang up the phone and walk to the counter. Praise the Lord I am going to England with a traveling buddy and for only $900.

The Lord has been so good and gracious throughout this whole process. and it is to the praise of His glory! A big thanks goes out to my parents and all of you that supported me by prayers or finances or both. You have been a blessing to me and it is to the Praise of His glory.
