A Busy Week

Mike

A Couple of days ago some of the temple missionaries and us took a trip Cambridge and toured the town. That is an interesting place I thought it was only one university, but it consists of more than thirty. Each with their own buildings and chapels. We also took a Punt tour, which is a boat with a young man on the back pushing with a pole. We got to see the sights from the Canal. It was awesome. Friday we went with some missionaries to Brighton on the shores of the English Chanel, we walked by the beach on our way to the Royal Theater where we watched the stage production of seven brides for seven brothers. They did a super job. As if we hadn't seen enough, your mom wanted to go to London yesterday, Saturday, so we caught the train into London, Then took a Double Decker, open topped tour buss all around London and saw everything, including Big Ben. We then hopped of and caught a bout tour of the Thames River where we saw more sights. The weather was good and we had a great time. We were glad to get home and rest. Today, Sunday 13th, we went to church in East Grinstead, where we heard Shay Kelley's missionary farewell talk....he lives here with Bridgestocks in their mini MTC. Then they had a luncheon for all of his friends to bid him farewell. It was a beautiful day. I sat outside with David Bridgestock just talking and getting sunburned , and watching the kids play. The missionaries from the temple grounds housing stopped and picked us up for a fireside in Crowley . Where Elder Herbertson and his wife talked. He is a member of the third quorum of seventy. Church leader had invited the mayor and a member of parliament and their wives to attend. Following the fireside, I was visiting with the Mission Pres. and his wife and introducing Lynda to the president's wife when the mayor and member of parliament came out of the chapel. The next thing I knew Lynda was visiting with the mayor's wife like they were best friends. That's just Lynda. We have tomorrow off also so who knows what we will do.
