Can you hear me now?

I stood at the counter staring at the man who had just dashed my hopes and dreams. Denied! A whole day wasted on the bus. I even got lost trying to find this place! No way around it. Back to the bus I went, leaving behind Tescos (store similar to Walmart) and the cell phone service counter. 

I had left that morning so encouraged, saying today was the day I became mobile. Lord only knows how difficult it was to unlock my phone. And now, due to my American debit card lacking a sort code, which I have no idea what that even is, I couldn't get my cell plan up and going. Thanking the man and trying to remember I am a Christian I left for my bus stop. As I walked I looked at people on their phones with envy... It must be nice to have a working phone. 

Feeling a bit dramatic I sat heavily on a chair in my host families family room. They greeted me with smiles like always and noticed my melancholy state. 

I informed them about the stresses of the day and sighing heavy through my story. 

"Right, let's get this done." 

I looked at them in disbelief and they dragged me back to a Tescos saying we wouldn't leave till I had a phone. 

Amazingly enough we got my phone up and running...after the embarrassing moment of me forgetting my iTunes password.

Yes ladies and gents, I am officially mobile! 

I am so thankful for my host family and what a blessing they have been. They are such a kind and understanding couple, always going the extra mile. 

Thank you David and Rachael! 

( I may have snuck this pic of them. Sorry I don't mean to be a creeper, just thought ya'll are adorable.)

Just a wee bit of home in isle. The American Isle in Tescos.
