Conquering London!

My first weekend in London was incredible!

Saturday was exactly what I needed. My entire side of the room slept in until 12! It was wonderful and the lack of sleep/ jet lag is now over. Thank goodness! For breakfast/lunch the girls in the room went and got waffles. Now, these are not the ordinary waffles you are thinking of. These are delicious London waffles covered in Nutella. Since it was Saturday, we decided it would be a great day to run errands and do laundry.
That night a large group of us went to a yummy restaurant called Nando's, that one of the professors suggested.




We then decided to wander around the vibrant streets of London and go to the Tower of London/Tower Bridge. It's is beautiful at night when it is all lit up.

Oh, you know.... Just me conquering London!


 Us and the Tower Bridge. It's huge and gorgeous.









As always, Sunday morning came all too early.
I am in the Hyde Park Stake but we did not have our ward assignments yet so those of us in the Hyde Park stake went to the Hyde Park Ward this week. We got to take a lovely stroll through Hyde Park in order to get to church. Church was a lot of fun and I love going to church in other countries. It's amazing to know that wherever you travel the church is the same. Today was fast Sunday, which means Testimony Meeting! London should be called the biggest melting pot in the world! Of those that bore their testimony, only one was actually British. The rest were from France, Slovakia, France, the Caribbean, Germany, America and Italy. The stake president informed us that in the Hyde Park Stake, 109 out of the 195 countries in the world are represented! So much diversity. (You definitely don't see that in Utah.) Overall it was a great weekend. We had a fabulous fireside by President Mathom and his wife. He is in the stake presidency of the Wansworth Stake. He is from South Africa and his wife is from Scotland.


This morning I just had classes then headed to Primark to do some shopping. Shocker, I know. Ally would be so proud. :)


Me and Nikki.



Cheers!
