UK Trip Part 3 - The Wedding, the Conference and the Return

From Northumberland we went up to Edinburgh for Esther (Lizzy's younger sister) and Paul's wedding. It was a beautiful day - we were all in awe of Esther and Paul for pulling together such a great celebration in just 6 weeks!

From Left - Mike, Hannah, Anne, David, Paul, Esther, Richard (behind Esther), Anna, Ruth, James, Lucy, Lizzy, Gareth, Kate, Geoff, Barney and Daisy standing in the front.

(Geoff is David's brother, Esther's uncle, married to Kate and Richard is their eldest)

Ahhh...

From Edinburgh we travelled to Newark for New Wine North, a week long Christian conference where Gareth was leading worship. We camped with friends from St Thomas' Sheffield which was lovely and Gareth thoroughly enjoyed leading the worship there. British caravans are pretty small, though...!

Our last few days were spent saying goodbye, with a trip to Sheffield to see Gareth's brother and his family, as well as lots of our friends from Norfolk Park, the area where we used to live. (Again, no photos, having too much fun). Seeing our old house was strange, though through the wholoe trip we had such peace about where God had called us and that our home really was in the USA. We're really excited about all that he has in store for us here in the coming year, including another little person (see next post...)
