Chatsworth House












We took our last site seeing trip on Sunday to the Chatsworth house in Derbyshire. It is the home to the 12th Duke of Devonshire. Check it out! http://www.chatsworth.org/learning/history.htm UNBELIEVABLE!!! This is the house that doubled as Pemberly in the most recent Pride and Prejudice. We toured the home and the gardens....both were BRILLIANT!! Original construction began in 1552...the house has seen many changes over the years but remains one of Britain's best loved historic houses and estates. Enjoy the pictures!
Another praise report...as of today, we have received the last of the funds for our trip to the Philippines!!! God is so good!!! As for the last few days...we are class as usual through Tuesday...bags packed and in the reception area by 8 am on Wednesday and then we will clean the lodge until noon. We leave by coach for the airport at 14:45 Wednesday afternoon!! Our weekend is free to finish any last minute classwork, packing and of course calling our friends and family. :) We are all very excited and ready to go!!!

Did you really say 'Brilliant"? My how British we have become! You have become that and much much more as you have started this stage of your adventure. We are praying for you, your protection, and your moving in the heart and will fo God. You are greatly loved and missed by many. Now be bold, There are only two requirements; Listen and Obey. Hear His voice and do what he says and watch the world light up before your eyes. Blessings on you and your whole team.
