The boys were all excited to go to church today so they could wear their fancy new ties! The London ward is really different in the fact that most of the congregation are visitors. There are only 3 local girls in the 14-18 year-old Sunday School class that Zach and I went to and the rest were visitors!

After church we walked next door to the Victoria and Albert museum where admission is free. We looked at the old furniture, dishes, and clothing on display. It was all really ornate. My favorite part was when we saw the Raphael paintings and tapestries. They all depicted scenes of Christ and the Apostles. It was super neat!

After exploring the museum we went to the Tube station where we ran into the missionaries! We talked with them for a bit before catching our train. Once we got home we made lunch and ate.

We left to the London Temple. It took about an hour and a half to get there because Dad and Mom were having a rough time navigating. Once we got there we went into the Visitor Center. It is so cool how they have it set up. They have little touch screen displays that you can do different things on. Dad and Zach got into the Temple Geography Quiz! We walked around the temple grounds and took many photos. The temple and grounds are so pretty! It was really fun!

We headed home and started preparing for our trip inside a trip tomorrow!
