smallest turtle in the world!

I saw this on yahoo's site. Way to go, TN!

Recent news from over the ocean...

I met up with the group from North Boulevard. Despite popular belief, people from different bodies can work together! It's been good to have to get to know people so that I can be a part of the whole.

For real, these jokers eat too much. Well, the problem isn't that they eat too much it's that they always have food available to eat. And as everyone knows, if there is food available I'm probably eating it.

John Jones (a former Stones Riverian) got in to Dundee today. It was good to have another familiar face in a sea of people that I don't know yet. Also, we got to see a baptism of a nice girl named Leanne. She was dunked in the North Sea. It was a good day.

We'll be working in Dundee, Scotland for this week and then I'll be heading back to the U.S. Next week. It's been both a long and short trip. Thankfully, it's not over yet. See you soon.

Hi, Bill,
I've enjoyed reading about your trip. My friend, Judy Templeton, left with a group from North Boulevard last week to go to Scotland. If you see her, tell her I said hello. May you all be blessed with a wonderful week and a safe journey home.

Hey Bill! It's been fun keeping up with all your European adventures. The day after you posted this I went to Chattanooga and visited the aquarium! But they said nothing about the world's smallest turtle...they must be keeping it under wraps until it gets bigger. Guess you're headed home soon? Be safe!! and savor the end.

I sit in my parents' living room as if it were all a dream. Kelsey's still alive so at least I can sleep tonight. The visit to Shiloh turned out really well. I wish I could have stayed longer. They asked me if I had plans for the summer, and I had to say yes. Hopefully we'll be getting things cranked up for an academic experience at New Frontiers. I wore my camp shirt many times during my tenure in the Europe. (this could be due to the fact that I only took four shirts) Alas, they didn't overbook the flight to Nashville tonight. I was hoping to get bumped officially so that they gave me some flight moneys. Oh well. Back to life in TN. Thanks to everyone that encouraged and/or prayed for me while I was gone.

Already

This trip has gotten off to an interesting start. Already there have been adventures in simply getting to Belfast. Thankfully, there have been lots of friendly and helpful Irish along the way. Also, God is putting a hand in where need be. Let me tell you how... 1. I got to the check-in counter at Nashville's aeropuerto only to hear that my connecting flight to Newark, NJ was delayed 1.5 hrs. I didn't really have a problem with this, and I thought it might even earn me some flight bucks. No. The delay was due to weather in Houston which earns noone flight bucks. They checked other flights to find that the next definite flight that I could take was Thursday (this was Monday). I finally remember to ask God to fix it, and about thirty seconds later the guy helping me said, "Oh, wait your Belfast flight is a little delayed so it might work out." (or something to that effect) Bonus. 2. There were two other people going to Belfast from Nashville(natives), and they just happe...

Update!

I did not die in what may or may not have been a fire at our hotel. I did, however, leave there and go to Manhattan. New York City never ceases to amaze. I am currently typing this from underneath the 5th Ave. Apple glass cube that I didn't get to visit last time I was here. Tonight was the Apple iPhone premiere. I saw the super annoying guy from G4/TechTV. Beck is playing on the overdriven ceiling speakers, and this place is hopping. It's funny how as I approached the entrance to the Apple store and they had people clapping as someone would exit I felt more and more like it would be a good idea to buy an iPhone. Again, brains are weird. Tomorrow I'm gonna try and visit my bro bro at Shiloh camp in NY state. I love having vague directions and hoping things work out. Well, when they actually work out it's fun. Typing on this MacBook makes me want one. I gotta get out of here before I do something dumb.
