The adventure is underway!!! I traveled for close to twenty hours over Tuesday and Wednesday. I flew into Manchester, took a coach to Birmingham and a second to Coventry. My directions were to call the school once I arrived in Coventry. After two calls, both of which went to voice mail, I got a little nervous. :) I text Hope a couple of times and then found another phone number-FOR EMERGENCY ONLY. I was feeling that this was an emergency...tired, not much sleep and needing to see a friendly face. :) About twenty minutes later a friendly woman approached me and asked if I was Cindy. "YES I AM" came roaring out....I'm sure of that!! I later asked her if I looked like a scared American looking for a ride...she laughed and said no....that they had been there for a while and had walked past me many times. I recognized her husband and he had definitely walked past a few times!!! :) We then traveled another twenty minutes to the King's Lodge. I thanked the Lord many times for such an easy trip and friendly people.
The Lodge is an old English boys home built around 1860. My college dorm's were built about thirty years later so I am familiar with this place already. Sue, the friendly face from the bus station, gave me a tour. As we approached the laundry room I noticed a rather unpleasant odor. I said nothing...Sue looked at me and said "Oh, I need to mention the cow farm that backs up to our base. The smell is most noticed in this room but you will catch the odor in the breeze a lot." I thought I would fall out laughing. THIS IS SO GREAT!!! I really want to go check out the cow's!! :) Great place...I can tell already. I will write more later...thank you to all of you who have been a part of this!!!
I have spent a lot of time talking with the Lord about this whole trip. It has really been amazing to see how he made it all possible. He told me that day on the deck that HE would make this happen...if only I would trust him. Thank you Lord. I will give you all I have while I am here.

Hey Cindy,
How are you? I take that back I see pyou are doing GREAT! Just by reading a couple ofyour blogs I'm impressed with your commitment to your work. I miss you much. I have some bad news for you. Ron Thompson passed away April 21st. He was laid to rest April 24th. He had a massive tumor in his stomache and it comsume most of his organs. His son told us that Ron must of heard God telling him "Come home good servant, You did well." because he left with a smile on his face. Also Ed in receiving passed away about a month ago. He had another heart surgery done, but blood was filling up in his lungs and the docters couldn;t understand why and he ended up leaving us. I miss them but I know our Lord is with them now and HE has a plan for all of us. I'm sorry to bring you this to you , but I know you would have want to know. Well, i'll let cha go. You'll be in my prayers. May God be with you and protect you.
MISS YA!!!!
