Last Sunday with Mitcham Ward and Last full Monday in LONDON :(

Sunday morning we made it to church, but there were only four of us, because a lot of people left for their free travel this afternoon or are leaving early tomorrow morning and needed to pack. So smaller crowd. Both of our young women were gone though, so we didn't even get to say goodbye!

After church there was a YSA activity BBQ at one of the girls houses. It was a lot of fun!

Then we headed home, with enough time for me to study before dinner. Then dinner. Then after dinner I took my test! It was a long process, but I finished and am now done with school (yay). Then I skyped my family, was jealous of the lack of Woodard children in my life right now, and went to bed.

Monday morning I got up and after breakfast me and Jacque went for a walk through Hyde Park, then down Platform 9 and 3/4, but I didn't want to wait in line, so I just took a creeper pic...again. Then to the Wellcome Collection, which was closed *insert angry face here* So we went to Speedy's (from Sherlock) and got burgers and chips. It was actually REALLY good!! and really filling and reasonably priced! I was very impressed. It was also really fun to be there :)


(apparently NONE of my pictures from speedy's saved to my phone? I dunno what happened because I took plenty, so I am pretty angry, but I promise I went)

After that we went and met Annie and explored the Granary Square area, including a bookstore on a barge! It was a lot of fun to browse through, though I didn't buy any more books.





Then we headed to the grocery store and to various souvenir shops to see what we wanted to take home to families and for ourselves.

After we finished our tourist crawl, we headed back to the center to help with dinner, because the assigned kitchen crew is traveling. There were only about half of what there usually is for dinner because of it.

After dinner, Jacque, Ashley and I figured out the rest of what we needed to for Ireland and I printed all our tickets and boarding passes. We then made a tesco run for chocolate and came back to play some more skittle poker. We three are boring players though. We don't make big bets and we call it really early. But that's okay, we enjoy it anyway. The chips never last long though. :)

Then I spent some time proofreading Ashley's paper, so she could be done with homework, so we can actually go to Ireland. Then I came upstairs to pack, but somewhere packing mixed with organizing and cleaning up all of my stuff, so 11:30 came around and I still wasn't packed. But I am now, and that's what matters. I have to wake up at 3am though. (Not a happy camper).

So yeah. I will be in Ireland the next couple of days, sans laptop, so no updates. But I hope to have lots of pictures when I return, and then it will only be a couple of days until I am home!!

Any suggestions/requests as I approach my last weekend in London?

I LOVE the bookshop on the barge! I want one! Sorry about the Speedy pics. I was excited to see some not locked up, but you ate there and that's what really matters! Have fun in Ireland!!
