SOUTHALL

We took the train to South Hall. A lot of people from India live there. We went to a Sikh temple and sat on the floor and heard them read their scriptures. We had to cover our heads. They give everyone who comes to worship with them lunch. D-dad helped them serve for a little while. The Sikhs are good people. They believe in one God, modesty, temple worship, not drinking alcohol, and serving others. They cover their heads to show reverence to God. You can see me receiving some fruit from the guy in front. They do that to show God answers prayers. Sometimes after children pray, mothers put treats under their pillow.



CANTEBURY AND DOVER


I like to go on bus trips with the students. In fact I like to go anywhere the students go.

I liked the castle in Dover a lot because we got to watch the King and his ward. We saw knights and friars too. But I did have to walk up and down a lot of stairs.


DID I TELL YOU THAT WE HAD LUNCH IN FRANCE AND WAFFLES IN BELGIUM?


We went with our friends Paul and Jaelynne Evans on a boat over to France. Can you see the White Cliffs of Dover? We drove a car to the beach. Then we drove over to another country called Belgium. I really wanted to ride in the carriage behind the horse, and not just because I was tired of walking. Mom and D-dad finally said, "Yes." We came home the same night really late.





DENNY AND LINDA BRIMHALL VISITED US IN LONDON


Denny and Linda Brimhall visited us. They bought us pastries and Linda played games with me every night. Of course we walked a lot too.

A QUICK TRIP TO CONNECTICUT

Mom and I got to see the Davis family. We had a birthday/Christmas party, sort of; anyway we opened presents. We ate Thai food, (I love pad thai noodles) dressed up Charlie when the parents were out of town (cause we baby sat the kids for a couple of days), and when they got back, we went to the beach. So cool!

Check out the cool airport in Dakota where we had a layover on the way back to London.


A Quick Trip to Minnesota







We got to visit Andrew and Natalie and their kids. We went to little Sarah's baby blessing and James' baptism. We celebrated all the birthday's including Mom's and opened birthday and Christmas presents.

We hiked on
the North Shore of Lake Superior and saw a light house. We stayed over night.

Judy and Jeff's Visit to London




It was fun to have Judy and Jeff visit us. We walked around a lot and played Phase Ten. Skiiiiiip..........Judy!

London Temple



I got to do baptisms for the dead with the students.
