Same People, Same Clothes, Different Day!

Today, we set on our way to York. Before we made it to York, we stopped in Preston to do a little Mormon tour. Preston is the place where Heber C. Kimball and the first missionaries came to bring the gospel to England. Preston is where the church was first established in England. So yeah, it was a pretty big deal.


Where the first British saints were baptized

We walked around the town learning about the different sites, and ended up at the temple. It was right by the England MTC, so it was cool to see where British missionaries go to prepare for their missions!



After Preston, we completed the final few hours to York. We're excited to go to York Minster tomorrow, then tomorrow night we will be in the Lake District (it's like The Hamptons of England).

For now, this is a little list of what I'm missing about home:

  • First and foremost, the parents. But it's ok, because they're coming to Scotland in 8 days to see me!


  • These Utah girls.
  • Home cooked meals.
  • Utah summer heat. This damp/rainy/kinda warm weather is getting old.
  • What I wouldn't do for a snoasis snow cone.
  • Salads as a main course.
  • The rest of my clothes. The poor things, all lonely in my closet.
  • My own room/bed that I don't have to share with anyone.
  • Good old American plumbing that doesn't include excessive pumping/jimmying the handle.
  • Sonic. I could use a CC right about now.
  • Not having to live out of a suitcase and haul the thing around everywhere.
  • ICE.
  • Outlets next to mirrors and in the bathroom.

I'm having such a great time over here in the UK, but I will be very glad to be home and back to a set schedule!
