Winter Break Overall

Wow! This has to be one of the best and most eventful winter breaks of my life. I skied for a week in France, spent Christmas with a great family and my friends in Milton Keynes, worked on a English farm harvesting sugar beets near York, and spent a week traveling in Spain. I celebrated Christmas Eve, Christmas, Boxing Day, New Years, and my 22nd Birthday. I saw Cathedrals, Minsters, and Churches that would blow your mind. I traveled and met with people from all ove rthe world; Australia, Brazil, Guatemala, France, America, Korea, and Portugal. Just before France, my roommates and I, along with Natalie, had an amazing Christmas dinner of our own with 18 different dishes. I even managed to do a bit of studying for my upcoming finals. Overall, it was a spectacular time. I thank the Lord for the opportunities i have been given to see the world and meet some amazing people. Here are some photos of Christmas Break and the fun that was had.
