Hello everyone, I know it has been a ridiculously long time since I last posted….so sorry for that. Time is flying and the drama has once again hit the fan. Something totally unexpected has happened. In my first month of living in London, I have become a victim of crime! Unfortunately, it is still being sorted through by the police but what happened was someone got a hold of my debit, credit card and PIN number from my post and used them. About £1000 pounds. It has been such a mess! I found out today that they might not refund me my credit card. This happened about a month ago and Im still going through the whole thing. We still don’t know who did it but we are moving out of our flatshare within the month and hopefully moving into a sisters house temporarily while we save up to get into our own flat. That is another bit of a drama, Ronny has been struggling a bit to find work. He is working right now doing telephone interviewing in Swedish and Danish but he is primarily looking for electrical work. My job is so-so. I am already ready to look for something else. My manager has just let (she was NOT the nicest of people) and we just got a new manager in who is going to be easy to work with. I have been feeling an enormous amount of stress at work and feel it physically. A few weeks ago someone broke into the restaurant downstairs from our flat. Needless to say I was a mess and stayed awake from 3am-8am feeling sick and just watching the police outside our window. I didn’t go to work that day and my manager was not understanding.
I could go on and on about how hard it has been but I do want all of you to know that I am dealing. I feel so much stronger. It has been far harder than I imagined. I have been really lonely at times. Many times wishing I could go back home. Havent made too many friends yet as our congregation was mainly older people but we recently switched to another one and absolutely love it so I am hoping to make more friends soon. I am sure things will get better with time. Its just an adjustment. I really do miss you all. Sorry for not keeping up to date with this but I am sending my love out to all of you and hope you and your family are well. Much Love!
*Next time, I am sure I will have better things to tell about. =)
