It is the 10th and we are still here

 Our appliances are on a truck on their way and the carpet is laid so we can move in any day.  We will probably wait until Saturday unless they need our room Friday night and they kick us out.  We are going to another zone conference tomorrow to help with the food and our zone conference is Friday but it is closer to where we are now than it is our flat so we want to stay here so we can go to our zone conf. and meet the missionaries from our area.  If we are in our flat it would cost to much to make the connections back.

We have had a very full week of going and seeing things it seems.  I really have had a hard time knowing what day, month or time it is.  I have become very close to Sister Kearl and I am going to miss her.  We have worked hard together and she reminds me of my dear friend Lynne.  I am afraid I might really get homesick when we leave.  Tonight I fixed potato soup and salad for dinner and had the Kearls join us then Sister Kearl and I did our biweekly chore of pealing and making carrot sticks for the zone conference.  We are having pizza so at least we don't have to cook this week.

Following you will see the pictures from this week.  I am sure the pictures will slow down once we get into our flat and get to real missionary work.



July 3rd - July 9th 2012


This is a building I liked in Stains England. We where here to stay
two days and a night with our trainers the Wood's.

The Woods took us to see Windsor Castle from the "Long Walk"








Sister Wood, Elder Ottley and Elder Wood

These two pictures are of a statue that is at the other end of the "Longest Walk"

Sorry not my camera, it was raining

Windsor Castle up closer

This is a grocery store like WalMart, food downstairs household
upstairs.  This is the escalator that you take your carts on.
The carts wheels have like a magnet on them so they don't move while on it.

The Tower Bridge from London Bridge
The following pictures are all from London.  We stopped here on our
way back to the temple housing from visiting our flat in Sidcup.  We
traveled around the city by taking different buses and taking pictures
from the front seat on a double decker.  We don't know what they are of
and they are taken through glass so they aren't the best

walking over London Bridge

Liverpool Station

This picture and the following are taken down in a coastal town called
Brighton.  We drove down with the Kearls to pick up Elder & Sister Parrett
who were being transferred to Guernsey which, is an island

This is called the Eye of England and I think it is one of if not the largest in the world

The trees below are growing under and up behind this bridge

The entire beach is pebbles no sand
