Monday 25 February 2013

This past week we completed our training as Veil Co-ordinators. We have now been trained in all Co-ordinator positions. We had a very busy Saturday (Feb. 23rd) which helped us in our training. It was a wonderful day at the Temple. This next week there will be a large group coming from France. It should also be very busy, which is the way we like it. It still amazes us on how fast time passes. We have almost been here 5 months now. Every day at the Temple is a spiritual experience.

Hampton Court Palace & Gardens

Today (Feb. 25) the Temple van and one car took 14 missionaries to Hampton Court Palace. It was one of the residences of Henry VIII. surrounded by beautiful gardens. It was also the home of King William III. It was very cold and the only heat in the Palace was in the gift shops and the cafeteria. By the time we finished looking we were quite cold, however, the  Palace was amazing inside so even though it was cold we enjoyed what we saw. There was also a group of actors depicting Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn and others moving around the palace and acting out scenes from the life of Henry VIII. They were excellent actors and we enjoyed their story.
Here are 6 of the over 200 pictures we took.
