Yesterday, Katy and I set off to finish a few more things on our list. Katy went first to the Hyde Park Chapel to help the missionaries with a new member lesson for Livi, a Hungarian convert who is a nanny here. We went to the Natural History Museum and visited the dinosaur exhibit and then caught a bus to the Imperial War Museum where we spent the rest of the afternoon. We grabbed some stir-fried noodles at a Chinese takeaway before going in. Last evening was the farewell dinner and party. It was loads of fun with a great dinner, white elephants, a talent show and awards.
You may remember the fuzz ball from the carpet --we finished it yesterday and gave it away as a white elephant

How Very fun and sad at the same time. I bet the fuzz ball was a hit! Looks like you are doing as many fun things as you can-Enjoy!
The Hyde Park Chapel looks very fun and festive! So are the windows! I feel quite sad for you about having to leave London so soon. I've enjoyed your adventures and will miss them! Of course it will be lovely to have you back, but just the same, London is a great place. Oh me oh my....someday I shall have fun London adventures again.
Endings always make me a little melancholy. I'm not very well constituted to deal with them. I hope everything goes joyfully and smoothly as you finish up and head back to the Mountains of Ephraim.
I too am feeling sad about your departure! I hope all goes well. Does the new director have a wife?
Maren: Yes, he does have a wife and a sixteen-year-old daughter. They are very excited at the prospects of being here.
Hi DT and Kris! This is one of your old Study Abroad buddies from Fall 04. :) I just found your blog and wanted to say how jealous I am that you're in London enjoying the holidays. :) Hope all is well!

Hi Noelle: Nice to hear from you! How on earth did you find our blog?
I often think about you when I attend the South Kensington Branch and hear the pianist struggle with the hymns.
Merry Christmas.
DT
Looks like loads of fun abound. Live it up... because Provo will seem BOOOOring in comparison. Although at least you'll be back with the grandkids!
