We woke up and took our time getting ready for church which was a great start to a beautiful Sunday. The weather was nice for the morning part of today and sadly we were inside the whole time. Regardless, church was wonderful. We went to the High Wycombe ward and Lee bore his testimony. He talked about the blessings of the gospel and how grateful he was for the restoration of the true church and all the blessing it has given him. It made me realize just how grateful I was for him and for the chance to visit his mission areas. We talked to so many wonderful people and the other classes were great!
Then too soon we had to take off in order to catch the Oxford ward which we caught the end of and Lee bore his testimony there too. We met a few more people and made plans to visit them next week when we will be in Oxford. Then once again we got back in the car and drove three hours to Preston. We are staying in the temple accommodation housing for the next two nights, which will be wonderful because it’s so peaceful here. The room is pretty simple; just two single beds and bathroom. There was like no one else there, but we met a nice family from Austria who gave us some of their cake and that was yummy.
Then we spent the rest of the evening walking around the temple grounds and then making plans for tomorrow. Oh, and we saw some missionaries at the MTC taking photos just outside the entrance. They were just getting ready to leave so it was rather fun to reminisce on our experiences getting ready to head out to the mission field.
Lee’s note: Oh, let’s not forget Angela had some fun chasing after some ducks. 🙂
