Sunday

Portuguese Hymnal

This is London City Hall. To me, it looks like some one sliced an egg, then carefully slid it over.


Tower Bridge



Tower of London


Me in front of St. Paul's

On Sunday we went to Sacrament Meeting at 9:00. Some people were late showing up and the trains were slow so we all missed sacrament. There were so many people from Utah in the ward and visiting. Some of the girls knew some of the guys there. Then we went to the science museum. There are museums everywhere. We went to the play center and played with the kids, it was fun. We then went back to church so we could take sacrament. So we went to the Spanish and Portuguese speaking ward. It was so cool because some were singing in Spanish and some in Portuguese and the expected us to sing in those languages as well. We stayed for sacrament then left. We walked through some of Hyde Park. It is a humongous park. There was a memorial to Princes Diana which was basically this small oval canal. Actually it was very long and everyone puts their feet in the water. It was so nice because I was so hot! We then walked, and walked, and walked some more until we found a tube (subway) we then went back to Primart because yesterday the lines were so long, that they didn't want to wait, so I stood in line while they went and got their stuff. We then decided to see the Tower of London. We kind of got lost until a man in a Cathedral gave us directions. We saw the London Bridge, which is really nothing special except it fell down and they had to rebuild it. We walked down to and over the tower bridge which is the only working drawbridge in London. We went to the Tower of London but we didn't want to pay 16 pounds to actually go in so we just saw the outside and watched a video. We then walked and walked to St. Paul’s Cathedral. Since it was Sunday you couldn't tour it but you could go to the sermon, so we did. We looked around a bit then sat down and sketched. The sermon was very interesting. It wasn't on the commandments or how you should act but on these two guys and there lyrics they wrote. I couldn't see a moral or a point to it really. They died as martyrs and the priest suggested we have as much fervour in our faith as them. Very interesting. We ate dinner at a French restaurant. It was the first time I hadn't been dying of heat. The restaurant was fully air conditioned which is sometimes hard to find. The other girls I was with were freezing but I loved it. I had onion soup, it was good, but I couldn't finish all of it. We then really walked and walked and walked. They are doing engineering work on the tube system and a lot of the tube stops were closed. We had to walk quite a way until we found one that was open. It was a little tricky getting around this weekend because so many lines were down that you had to transfer tubes several times to get where you were going.
