Week 19

Paul once again spent the week doing genealogy for a less active member in our ward and working on his power point for the fireside Sunday.  Annie's top happening  of the week was having her hair highlighted and cut. She tried to do some preliminaries herself.  Check out the eyebrows below.

It is late Sunday evenging and we just arrived home after a long and eventful day.  We left our flat at 8:30 this morning and just returned at 10:00 tonight.  We took the bus to church and enjoyed teaching the temple preparation class.  This has been something we look forward to each week.  We caught the bus after church and went a different direction to a train station to travel to the London Temple Visitor's Center.  The Carpenters invited  us to  dinner at their flat before the fireside.  They are the directors of the Visitor's Center and old friends of Pauls from Draper.  We enjoyed an old favorite of hay stacks for supper.  After the meal we went to the visitor's center to present the fireside on "using family history as a proselyting tool."  Annie did the introduction of the Smart's and introduced the topic of the fireside, afterwhich Paul did his magic and awed everyone.  It was a great experience, but once again we are glad to be back home and we are ready to call it a day.
