Monday we worked our regular shift at the VC but then joined President & Sister Stevens (our mission president and his wife) for a night at the theater. We went to the Broadway show "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory." It was a great show and the scenery and special effects used to bring the story to life were great. And little Charlie did a great job with acting and singing. As good as the show was the real treat to us was spending the evening with President & Sister Stevens, getting to know them better. They have such vast church experience (President Stevens-former stake president and Mormon Tabernacle Choir member, Sister Stevens-former Counselor in General Primary Presidency). It is an honor to serve with them.
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday we went to missionary meetings with President & Sister Stevens and many of the young missionaries in our mission. It was great to learn from them and to understand more about what they do and what we should be doing in the VC. We also worked in the VC every day this past week. On Thursday we had additional training via Skype with leaders in Salt Lake. We are getting a much better vision of what we should be doing with the VC here.
This week we have had guests from Hong Kong and China, Italy, Australia, Japan, Germany, Venezuela, Turkey, Switzerland, and Mexico to name a few. We had another baptism at the VC tonight, this time a young lady from the Philippines who is living here in London. We really are seeing the growth of the church all over the world from right here in London.
We ventured out again one afternoon and managed to find Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Parliament, and Trafalgar Square to name a few of the famous places we saw. We also made it to a couple of museums and just scratched the surface of what is in those museums. There is so much to see and do here. We love being here.
