Friday: We went to the Lancashire Records Office today. We did a bit of research there and bumped into Nathan. (he sure gets around). In the afternoon we went to the Preston (Chorley) Temple. Brooke, Flora & I watched "The Legend of Zorro" while doing Tai Chi - it was great =)
Life is good - too good, we are eating way too much. Time to break out the rice cakes and celery :)
Saturday: Went to Manchester (ps anything with "chester" in the word means it was a Roman fort!) with Dr Doxey today. It looks just like the rest of Lancashire :) - it rains a TON here!!! No wonder the grass & everything is sooo green!
After Manchester we drove up to Liverpool - up to the docks & went to the Maritime Museum. It was great. Some of the girls went to the Beetles Exhibition. I got another sew-on patch for my bag - instead of buying keychains or thimbles I'm starting to get patches for my back pack.
We got a bit lost on the way home, but it was fun in all. We made a great dinner (we start dieting tomorrow ;)
Then we went over to Jenn & Keri's to work on IAP stuff & we watched EuroVison. Again a great time & I am enjoying getting to know these amazing people. Finlands - crazy monsters won!
Sunday: After church - they have a chapel on the temple grounds - we went for dinner at the Wins. Sister Win is one of the kindest ladies I have ever met. She had a WHOLE lot of food for us on the stove. I had offered to come and help earl;ier, so i helped with the chicken & steamed veg (carrots, potatoes, corn, broccoli). It was a nutritious meal. Then all 10 of us students & Dr. Doxey & her parents & niece & the Wins & their daughter Rachel all sat and chatted. We even had a quick FHE. Their home is beautiful and I could have stayed there all week. Rachel said to me when she saw that i had my big winter coat that "you're not accustomed to the English Weather!" to which I responded with a smile - NOPE!
Monday: We got on the train this morning in Preston at 8.28AM and arrives in Edinburgh at 11.20AM. We took a taxi cab to our hostel - Castle Rock. I will be here until Saturday & then I'm going to visit Donna Lindop in Glasgow!
It is such a privilege to be seeing so much of the world. I have so much to be grateful for. Heavenly Father continues to bless me.
