My friend, Kylie, and I took a 4-hour train to a little town called Burton-on-Trent to find her cousin who is serving a mission there. We found him--he was shocked, of course--and just got to talk for a little less than an hour. Then we hopped back on the train and were back in London 4 hours later. It was an adventure!

Samuel Johnson's Home
We went as a class to the home of Samuel Johnson last week. Who the heck is he? Well, he wrote the first dictionary. (Only a bunch of English nerds would find that interesting!) The best part was dressing up in clothes befitting of the era in which he lived. He also was a huge fan of his cat, Hodge, immortalized in the statue directly across from his home.
Wandsworth Common Ward
This is Sharon, the Young Women's President. She is such an awesome lady; I really admire how much she cares for the girls and how hard she works.
Walking from the church to the tube stop. It's a two-hour round trip every Sunday.
It was my last Sunday in my ward this week because I'm traveling with a friend this Sunday to find her cousin missionary (long story). I was really excited to teach the Young Women's lesson on "Understanding a Missionary's Responsibilities," but no young women showed up! I was really bummed that I didn't get to teach but even more sad about not getting to say goodbye to Carolina (the one devoted attendee). It has been a great experience serving in this ward, strengthening my testimony, and getting to meet some really awesome members.
