I am halfway through my trip to London! It's kind of sad, but exciting at the same time. I just can't believe how fast it has gone. So far it has been so amazing! Sunday morning before church we went to Buckingham Palace and saw the changing of the guards. It was pretty cool. We got there an hour early, which was not necessary so by the time it was over we were freezing. I still have not gotten a picture with the famous red guards that stand in front of Buckingham Palace because they are only there every other day. Apparently they have to take turns because so many are gone to the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. I was pretty surprised at that answer when I asked the worker at the museum. Anyway, we went to church and had a great time again. The building always feels like a hundred degrees, but it is honestly one of the best wards I have gone to. My favorite hour is Relief Society. The spirit is always so strong. Part of me feels like it is because all the girls come from so many places around the world and each one is trying her hardest to make something of herself in London. It's really a neat feeling. Sunday night we just did homework because we actually had a lot to do. Our teachers here aren't just a breeze, we have homework every night. Yesterday we went to the Windsor Castle. It was by far my favorite castle we have seen. Around 100 people live there. Even the queen lives there sometimes. It was really neat! We ate at Pizza Hut for 5.99 pounds ($12 american) and stuffed our faces with pizza. It was amazing. Today we handed in a paper for history and I was the only one who got 100%! I was really excited!! I guess all my communications classes at BYU really payed off. So today we went to class, then we went to the Camden market. I have been to that market like 4 times. I guess I really like it. I bought my sisters each a dress. I hope they like them. I am trying to be a cool sister that brings back the latest fashions from London, even though they are following our trends. After the market we went to the Museum of London. I am pretty sure this was the 15th museum of the trip. We are all museum'ed out. It was all about the London fire and stuff I really didn't care much about. Tonight we are going to a Wheel of Fortune karaoke bar! I am so excited because I have been wanting to go for two weeks now. It is going to be a lot of fun! On Thursday, me and 8 of my friends are flying to Ireland. We are going to be there till Monday morning. It is going to be an adventure to say the least. I am really excited though! Tomorrow is Shelley's birthday and she is going to be 16! Happy Birthday Shelley! Emily is also graduating tomorrow. Congratulations Emily!! I wish I could be there for both of those events. It's only times like these when I really get home sick. I can't even express how excited I am to go to California!!!!!!! It's going to be so fun!!!!!!!! P.S. Exactly one year ago yesterday, I crashed long boarding at BYU Hawaii. In memory, I am going to post a picture.
