We slept in and took our time getting ready for the day. Then we picked up the missionaries to visit Jane Wangeshi, but she didn’t answer. Lee wrote her a note on a piece of paper we had in the car, but we weren’t able to wait around because we had a lunch appointment with the Pakynteins. They cooked probably the best Indian curry I have ever had. It was absolutely delicious!!!!! It was also one of the Elder’s birthdays so they baked him a chocolate cake, which we all ate with ice cream and whipped cream. It was great to visit with them and hearing about their lives.
After that, we made a quick stop at the Nicholls’ home to drop off the T-book that Lee was working. We then started to drive to East Grinstead and stopped to visit with Edison Madziwa in Aylesbury. He is a very happy energetic African and it was great to meet him. Lee invited him to an activity in High Wycombe (the ward he was baptized in), and we hope he ends up going.
After saying our goodbyes we got back in the car and drove the rest of the way to the London temple, just outside of East Grinstead. Luckily they had an iron for Lee’s white shirt and as he ironed away I found a piano and played a few hymns. After walking around the temple we attended the last endowment session and it was absolutely wonderful. I love being in the temple and feeling the peace and love found there.
We were going to eat dinner in the cafeteria but they only serve food during lunch time so we asked the temple president where the best place to eat was. He recommended an Italian restaurant a few miles away so we decided to check it out. It ended up being pretty good, but not the best Italian food we’ve ever had. We shared a really thin crusted pizza and a few breadsticks that tasted pretty good. Unfortunately, Lee got some sauce on his shirt. Then we headed back to temple housing and went to bed.
