More on the HIghlands to come, but for now, Dr. Illbit.

Hiya folks, (they say "hiya" here, and that means "hello, how are you?")

More on the highlands to come, but it's such a pressure to blog everyday and catching up is even tougher. Soooooooo. Today I went around the city and realised that I'm already taking it for granted. The amazing monuments are becoming just something that I see everyday. I hope that changes, or at least that I'm renewed in my respect of such monuments. I once described it as "a sight that no mortal should behold" and they are like that until you see them everyday.

So today was a day of correspondence between someone who has done this teaching English thing. We will have a proper chat time soon enough. I'm excited about learning about how it is actually done by a professional.

Today I did a good missionary work, I sent postcards to those who have sent me money. Don't tell them because I hope that it will be a surprise. I'm excited about all of these people who have said that they will support me in what I want to do. What a gracious thing; to give away money to allow someone to do something that you can't. I can't help but think that these people would love to go to Scotland and do what I'm doing, but simply can't because of business or family or other things. So they send me in the their stead with their money. Which is interesting because not only will they receive an award for the work I'm doing, but also for graciousness in giving. So they are better off (rewards wise) than myself, if you believe in all that jazz.

So I'm very thankful for all of those supporters, not just monetarily, but spiritually and in prayer, if those things are different. I am very thankful to all of those who are in prayer for me at home because sometimes I feel I need every bit of it.

Today was nothing more than a housekeeping day. I found a nice, quiet pub to write my postcards in, sent them to the States, and then headed out to go see Drillbit Taylor. It was a better than okay movie that had a nice and suspenseful time to it. at points. I have been yearning to see a film in a cinema for a long time, so tonight was a very nice payoff. They wouldn't accept my student card though, so I had to pay full price. No Dice. I do wanna hear a shout from my #33 mates. I miss you guys.

that's all for today. I will also be trying to post everyday or more than that. So check back often. Thanks for all the prayers and support from everybody

Cheers mate.
