Candlelit Christmas Carol Cathedral Service and a Farewell Party of sorts.

The night before we left for Greece, we had the amazing opportunity to attend a candlelit Christmas carol service at the Canterbury Cathedral - try saying that ten times fast. 

Hundreds of Uni students joined members of the community in singing to our God who was born over two thousand years ago. Have a listen.

We were each given a candle and during some part of the service, the lights were turned out and the massive Cathedral was lit by pure candlelit.

This is one of my new favorite Christmas Carols: The Holly and The Ivy.

 It was unbelievable and instantly brought me into the Christmas spirit.  

So Kevin and I realized that we have only four days left in the amazing city of Canterbury. Where has the time gone? We are going to leave on Saturday afternoon for London and spend our last Sunday in my favorite big city at the future Olympic 2012 sites and hopefully eat at Jamie Oliver's restaurant. Then we we fly out of the country on Monday at noon. Well, at least that's the plan. Rumor has it that snow is due on Friday, Saturday and Sunday which is no good for England and our flight out of here. I guess it's all in God's hands. I feel like I'm some kind of Christmas movie trying to get back before the 25th. It should all work out fine.

Tonight, we had a Farewell to the Americans Party. We ate pizookie, homemade apple pie, and played fish bowl and Mafia. It was such a good night.

I have made so many great friends here and I am so blessed to have them in my life. God has really blessed me. I don't know what I'm going to do when I get back. Good thing there is skype and facebook!
