Wednesday, 9 May 2018

We got up at 6 am to make the sauce for the Enchilada Casserole and added frozen pre-cooked chicken to he sauce.  The frozen chicken cooled down the sauce to put in the fridge.  Spent the day working at the office.  Clark spent the day with Elder Madden working on Staines Zone flats before the Maddens move to Guernsey at the end of the month.  I went home at 4 pm when I learned that Clark would meet me at the Crawley Stake Centre.  I finished the casserole and put it on warm while I worked on the lesson for Institute.  I left a little early for Institute to stop at the mission office for water bottles for Institute.  As I was going out the gated fence Clark drove up in the van.  I turned the car around and met him back at the flat.  Clark had taken the Maddens to Costco and had bought water bottles and a few other items.  Clark hurried and changed his clothes and we left for Institute. 

Clark told me of his days travel and being stopped by the police.  There were 5 police cars lined up about 2 miles from Datchet by Windsor Castle.  The police pulled Clark over because he was driving a van.  They were checking all large vehicles because of the coming wedding of Prince Harry and Megan Markle.  As the police were talking to Clark and he was showing the back of the van with a bed frame and book case the BBC came up and interview him.  Then the NBC came with camera and video tape him about what an American thinks of the Royal Wedding.  I discussed my day at the office but not as exciting as being on National TV.

Institute went well and the Lord blessed us in giving the lesson.  It seemed like all the students were engaged and listened with intent or responded to questions.  We all felt the sweet spirit. Afterwards we ate and I was able to take a picture.  We had so much fun with the students and they loved the Chicken Enchilada Casserole.  They were sad when they heard that we were leaving and moving to London.  It touched our hearts when they said they will miss us.  We invited the students to come and see us in London and in Utah.  Diego's sister Sarah was visiting and had a calming effect on the group.  It is amazing what one person can do in a group.  Afterwards Richard, Diego and Diego's sister played the guitars and sang.  It was 10:30 pm and we said good night and told them lock up the church.
