Learning

   Today, we were picked up for church at Brandon, the same church that I attended when I was younger. The only thing that has changed is the sign on the building. Two people still attend there who remember my parents... at least that I have met so far. One is a black gentleman named George who I remembered when I heard his name called in bible class, and the other is Polly. She spoke highly of my Mom and mentioned them decorating sweatshirts together? I vaguely remember this... or at least I THINK I do. We like the church a lot and plan to keep attending. Our ride fell through for evening services, though, so we were only able to attend in the morning. 
   We got cell phones yesterday through a network call Three Mobile. I got an iphone 5 and Kyle got some sort of tiny rocketship.  Apparently reception in this area is awful for any of the phone networks, especially on Lakenheath because of all the communication equipment. I am hoping that the reception is better where we are hoping to live. If not, we have basically bought really advanced electronic calendar alarm clocks. 
   It has been frustrating not being able to get around, since we don't have a car and the shuttle buses no longer go from base to base. It's weird being in England and not getting to see anything yet. We found out today that we can rent a  car, even before taking the driving class, so we are going to look into that tomorrow if we have time. 
   Tomorrow, I am going to the dentist on base (fingers crossed), and we are going to try and claim our house at Feltwell. Other than that, I am hoping that we will get some sort of schedule on briefings and other things that we have to do to get settled in. 
I'll try to update tomorrow on what we have found out, how long we will be in temporary lodging, etc. Right now, I am going to try to sleep so I can wake up on time. :) Love you all!!!!
