We got up early and left to do baptisms in the London Temple. It is not actually in London, it is about an hours drive away. We pull up and it was much tinier than I expected, but the grounds are beautiful and it is on a huge amount of green land.
It was great to spend time in such a wonderful place. It brought such a lift and all of us had a great time. There is something about a trip to the temple that brings people together. It was great to bond and it was neat to have our professors there...one of my favorite days so far!
After we came home, 5 of us still had to go to the Dulwich Art Gallery for Visual Arts. It is an hour away so we make the trek out to find it before dinner. It is my professor's birthday--I just love her. It is so fun to live with our teachers. We get to know them so well and they become like our parents. It is so nice!
It was a very uplifting day. This week has been really busy, and it is only getting busier. Time is flying. In the month of March we are home a total of 6 days! So we are trying to see and still experience London because we aren't here in March. I love our professors because they just keep putting things on the calendar that are out of our budget, but they want to get it all in and BYU is "helpin' us out". Gotta love it :) We are going down in history as the semester that is doing the most things in the 3 1/2 months we are here! It is always an adventure!
Wow, you really were busy! Thanks for joining us at the temple---it's a day I'll remember for a long, long time. Thanks, too, for remembering my wife's birthday. It meant a lot to her, Ashley.
