Sorry for slacking again. I have been SUPER busy! I thought I would have a lot more down time but I am going going going 24/7. And I love it. :) So Just a quick recap. Really quick.. I saw a fox on the way home tonight. It was so cute! I would have taken a picture but it was already pretty scared.. Anyway a lot of the pictures are just random hang outs with some people here. Covent Garden for dinner, South Ken for Ice Cream, Wandsworth for a Pizza Party, Wimbledon park during the “heat wave”… This place is amazing and I love it here! I am going to have a hard time being convinced to come home! Also, I went to a Boat Dance on the Thames River. I had a fantastic time! The best was when another boat would pass us and the boat would start to sway from the wake while you were dancing and it was really tough keeping your own balance. It was great! I have missed dancing. Especially with my stinky aster girlies back home. (You know how you are!) Dancing is just not the same without my mates back home. And lastly, the best thing I have done lately, I got to go to the London Temple. It was amazing! Sessions here are a lot different than back home but it was still great. It is crazy how much I have missed the Temple and even though I FELT like I didn't take the Temple for granted… I really have been. Almost my whole life I have had one so close. Here they talk about how blessed we are that we have one an hour and a half away by train. I feel like yelling "HA Trying having 8 within an hour!".. when they say that. I do love it here A LOT, but I never realised how good I have it back in Utah. Still.. It will take convincing to get me on that plane and move back home for good. I am counting my blessings more and more each day. I have made friends already that have had to leave the country because their visas are up. I am SO LUCKY to be a British Citizen AND an American Citizen. The two greatest countries ON EARTH! I am so happy that I am here and I am grateful for it every day. I am learning so much and really growing as a person. I can even walk home from the tube station by myself at midnight. Anyone that knows me..knows I had a hard time just walking from my car in the driveway into my garage at night! I absolutely love my life right now and I cannot imagine being anywhere else than here. Here are some pictures from my recent adventures. :)
Wendy, Rebecca, and myself. :)
Rebecca and I in Wimbledon Park!
Covent Garden with Wendy, Emilia, and Rebecca.
Sabine, Vanessa, and Me. Love these girls!
Wendy and I took one smiling. And then we said.. Why don't we take a REAL picture that actually shows our personalities! I think this about sums it up!
The lake in Wimbledon Park. I LOVE sitting here and looking out at the water. Gorgeous.
Tom, Rebecca, Wendy and Russell. Cool story about the guy on the end. He served his mission with THOMAS!!! (My oldest brother.) It really is a small world. :)
Rebecca, Lisa, Lorena, Wendy, and Myself on the boat. :)
My Camera sucks okay! But here is London at night. I love it!
On the back of the boat. Where we were FROZEN!
London Temple. It has the most gorgeous grounds for a temple I have ever seen! It is so serene and peaceful. The temple is in the middle of nowhere (it is actually closer to Crawley than London) and I think that adds to the feel of the place.
More of the grounds.
I think this was a great example of how we should be in life. The two white ducks took this little guy in the middle "under their wings" ...No pun intended :) ... and it was the most loving and adorable thing I had ever seen! I think that shows how we should treat other people. It was a perfect example of how to be Christlike right here on the temple grounds.
This one is for you, Autum.. if you even read this blog..
Well that is all for know folks. I love you and miss you all. P.S.. My lovely friends and family back in Utah.. I will see you all in 66 days. I WILL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS!!! Love you guys!
