Around the world adventure: Our final day in London

Our final day in London…

Well, our day was just as I mentioned in the blog earlier…church service in the morning, some street ministry and a few people went to Speaker’s Corner, and a Christmas program at the Oasis Church to end the day.

The Oasis church is on Abbey Road where The Beatles took the picture for the cover of their “Free Help” album. We had to take a photo walking across the road like they are on the cover. That was quite interesting trying to get the shot. There were so many other tourists doing the same thing.

The puppet performance went very well. (Pictures of the puppet show will have to come later.) Both adults and children were entertained. There were close to 80 people there—of that, maybe close to 12 children to watch the puppet show. We ended the evening with a couple of team photos and goodbyes.

Here are some fun comments and quotes from throughout the week:

“brilliant” or “brill”

“hundreds and thousands” – (for sprinkles or jimmies)

“that’s just jammy”

“scratches the itches”

“his face looks like a wet weekend”

“trackies and cross trainers” – (rather than track pants and sneakers)

“mind your head” and “mind the gap”

“take away” (for carry out)

“have a lie in” (for sleeping in)

“fizzy drink” (for soda)

That's just a sampling...it seemed like we were laughing and comparing things all week. It’s so fun to compare what people say in different parts of the world. I love culture!
