We were so glad the weather was great that day! We packed, pushed, and stuffed all our mumbo-jumbos into the hired compact car. The drive to London was not as bad as we thought. We managed to avoid the congestion charged areas and it took us only 1 hour to get from door to door.

Our room no longer looks like that now. :) Although we’re still missing a couple of stuffs, but we definitely have settled in fine. We are currently sharing the flat with two students, both lovely girls who are a lot of fun to be with. (Their adoration for Rosh grows as he keeps feeding them with great food) One of them is a Baha’i girl who’s always out and about doing stuffs, and next week we’re having a get-together at our place to meet the other Baha’i youth in this neighbourhood. More pics to come!

The wisdom of the appearance of the spirit in the body is this: the human spirit is a Divine Trust, and it must traverse all conditions; for its passage and movement through the conditions of existence will be the means of its acquiring perfections. So, when a man travels and passes through different regions and numerous countries with system and method, it is certainly a means of his acquiring perfection; for he will see places, scenes, and countries, from which he will discover the conditions and states of other nations. He will thus become acquainted with the geography of countries, and their wonders and arts; he will familiarize himself with the habits, customs, and usages of peoples; he will see the civilization and progress of the epoch; he will become aware of  the policy of governments, and the power and capacity of each country. It is the same when the human spirit passes through the conditions of existence: it will become the possessor of each degree and station. Even in the condition of the body it will surely acquire perfections.
