We left bright and early to get to church this morning! we went a complicated way with the tube and a train and the tram and walking, that took about an hour and forty five minutes, and we were still 45 minutes early, so next week we'll go the easy way and hopefully leave a LOT later than today! but church was so so much fun! I'm going to be a yw teacher - there are about 8 girls, 16 -18 mostly. One girl, Mary, just got baptized yesterday and was confirmed today! these girls are so cool and are going to teach me more than vice versa. they are mostly all converts and so they found out for themselves that the church is true and their testimonies are so sweet and sincere. jessica and I are team teaching next sunday about sacrifice. we're going to bring cookies so they like us.
everyone is so so nice though! they yw leader is young and so cool! she said she would take us to the temple sometime, and everyone chatted with us, they were so great! what an awesome ward that opened their arms to a couple american girls. i love that gospel connects everyone! the bishop called us up to bear our testimonies (fast sunday) right when i had maybe dozed off a little bit... ha so that woke me up!
after church it was just a lazy day where i read teh ensign on the fire escape mostly. dinner was soo good cause i was soo hungry. bro seeley gave us a fireside tonight about sacrad space which was cool because we are going to churches of all religions and it was interesting to see how they follow the old testament etc. I can't wait to go the temple!!
then c (clark) j (jacqui) chery and I went to the park to do homeork, except the sun set (duh) and so we couldn't read for more than about 10 minutes. but then we saw some fireworks - just the tips peeking out over the trees - HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO MY FAVORITE COUNTRY ACROSS THE SEA!! I almost forgot that was today! they don't exactly celebrate it here... i almost wish that I was home for the driveway of fire tonight instead. so weird to be in a different country today. no flags. no sparklers.
