Sundays with the Doctor

     Imagine.  You see: A bunch of awesome people sitting in the front room at the London center.  Many chair and soft couches.  It's decently late so we have the lights on, the chandelier shining above us.  Papers are strewn on the floor and we have decided to take a break from homework.  This consists of watching ridiculous videos on computers and throwing skittles into each others mouths.  I am the best at catching them.  You hear: Laughter. You feel: So content and happy to be here.  You smell: Good.  This is what I am doing.  The little blessings.  (Reading The Book Thief always makes me want to sound more artistic like).  How'd it go?

     I always look forward to Sundays here in London.  I can't even say enough how great the Peckham ward is. Today I went early to help set up chairs and prepare the sacrament because Duke (the Priest 1st Advisor) asked me to help out. I also blessed the sacrament with Duke and it was a great experience.  I still have a few people come up to me every now and then and ask if I am a visitor, but there are others that I am becoming very close to.  I'm also impressed every week to see how strong their testimonies are!  I am lucky enough to attend the YSA class and they are all so willing to share stories and really participate in class.  Also, the young men invited me and Alex (other guy from the group in the ward) to go and participate in their wards day out on the 28th where they will have a cricket match!  So excited!

     Also great about Sundays is how I get to rest!  I managed to get all caught up with my reading for classes and some of my own personal reading in as well.  I even snuck in a nap (those even feel better in London too)!  Really. Give it a go if you find yourself near London anytime soon.

     After naps, dinner, and homework (but before skittles and movies) I went with some friends to find THE TARDIS!  It's a Doctor Who thing.  We spent so much time just taking photos in front of the wonderful police box.  I had searched the internet and found out that there was a box just three underground stops away from us, so we knew that we had to go and see it!  Once that was done we were making our way back to the center and we noticed that we were in a car all by ourselves, so goofiness followed.  Sometimes happiness just needs to get out and you have to start walking on the ceiling like Spiderman!  And who knows, you might just make the lady in the car over start laughing.  Yeah, we may have just made her night.  It sure made mine.  

     It looks like we have another busy week ahead of us, but I am so ready for it!  Whether the adventures are big or small, they are always fantastic.  I am so grateful for all of them!

    

 The Tardis and I.  How cool!
