My good friend Tony's first visit to the London Temple
This is just me practising how to put a picture on the blog. My friend Tony Remple and our Bishop Barry Kenchington on Tony's first visit to our Temple. I did try and take photos of my visit to the Philippine Embassy but they did not work out so Pedro is teaching me this evening how to do this task and I thought that this was a good photo outside our Temple.
Preparation for the big day
I have been really busy getting ready to go on my mission. The work on the house is nearly finished and I am now preparing my new rooms for my return so that I can put all my remaining belongings away so that Jeris, Alan and the boys will have the whole run of the house.
I have been up to London twice once for the two day Careers Workshop run by the Church. I have been given a great deal of help by Bother and Sister Cambell and Sister Groves who are assigned to London Hyde Park. I have personally used the church resources and have found them to be excellent and they are continually upgrading the facilities etc.
Two weeks later I had to return to London to obtain my visa for the Philippines. It was necessary to stay again to wait for the visa so I once again went to the Employment Centre at Hyde Park Chapel and was made very welcome, and received more incites into the running of an Employment centre, which I am sure that will stand me in good stead on my mission.
I was also very fortunate in been able to stay with Kirsty Winkworth's mother Andrina who made me most welcome and I got to know her much better and I look forward to her coming and living in Bournemouth. I am sure that we will have lost of fun together when I return.
During my last visit to Hyde Park I was also able to meet with the Music director and listen to one of the weekly recitals put on every Thursday what a wonderful missionary tool.
I also visited the Victoria and Albert Museum for the first time and while I was waiting for the Embassy to open I sat in Trafalgar square in the sunshine, after I collected my visa I decided to have a late lunch in the crypt of St Martin in the Fields and afterwards I went up into the Church and was able to listen to the choir practicing, the acoustics are really good and I really enjoyed listening to them. I will have to visit London more often there is so much to do and see and I only seem to go when there are other reasons to go, so I really should make more of an effort to explore our capital city. I thought that I had got some pictures of my trip to London but I must have done something wrong with the camera so I will have to learn how to put pictures on the blog another time.
