Today marks the last sunday on the study abroad trip. It is also a free day, so my plans for today… I get to go to church!!! First off I slept in! It was glorious to say the least. I went to the singles ward with Rachel Rosier and we enjoyed the Fast and Testimony meeting that they had.
It was really cool. Instead of the usual awkward silence that occurs for a good 15 minutes, there were people lining up to share their testimonies. There were continuous testimonies and finally the bishop had to get up and say no more and that those that were in line would finish out the meeting.
But it was really good. I have missed church more than I had thought.
After sacrament meeting, Rachel and I came back to our flat and met up with Sherry and went out to the British Museum. We spent a good amount of time in the gift shop and I got two postcards and a puzzle. I am excited about it.
After the gift shop we quickly looked at the Ancient Egyptian exhibit and I was totally in geek heaven! I love Love LOVE ancient history and all the cool relics that come from those days. I saw several mummies and their sarcophagi, I saw the Sutton Hoo helmet that I learned about in Dr. Cogan’s humanities class and tons of other cools bits and bobs from the medieval days of Europe.
It was really cool.
We didnt stay long in the Museum since it closes at 5:30 on Sundays and honestly I was glad. I am coming down with something and I wasn’t feeling to good. So we came back to the flat and get to look forward to a bright and early day tomorrow! We are going to the town of bath! So fun!
Details to follow!
