Hey guys!
Today was our first day of church in our assigned wards here in London. Mine is the Catford ward. The girls who went there during the winter told us that it would take a long time to get there, so we left quite early. However, we arrived at the building about an hour before the meeting started. Needless to say, we'll be sleeping in a little next week.
Since we're only here for five more Sundays, we got assignments rather than callings. Another girl and I have been assigned to Relief Society, which I'm a little nervous for. We both have to teach twice, as well as give a talk while we're here, so they're definitely keeping us busy. This ward is also really interesting and diverse. The bishop is from Russia, the Relief Society president is from Jamaiica, and there were people from Brazil and other places that I can't remember. It's very different from home, but I think it'll be a really good experience.
Tomorrow we're moving from the flats that we're staying in now to the BYU London Centre. I think it'll be really nice there, but the renovations aren't totally done. One of the things that isn't working apparently, is the wi-fi, which is kind of annoying. Then, we're leaving early Tuesday morning (and I mean early. I'm talking like 3 am) to go to Paris until Thursday, and I don't think I'm going to bring my laptop. So, I just wanted to tell you to probably not expect a new blog post until Thursday or Friday. Not that I think anybody follows this blog religiously or anything. I just wanted to let you know that I'm not dead.
See you later!
Kate!
ReplyDeleteYes, I AM following you religiously - and loving every minute of it! You are an excellent tour guide - thank you. Have a wonderful time in Paris. Can't wait for the update when you return.
