Woke at 5 am but drifted on and off till 6. We listened to a Face to Face for YSA with Elder Cook in Nauvoo. It was centered on the book 'The Saints'. He had two church historians that talked about the history of 'The Saints'. Everythingis correct historical events that happened. If the book says it was raining-it was raining. Emma Smith had to endure as she walked across the frozen Mississippi river. I have never left my home with three children, the clothes on their backs, and under her skirt was held the only copy of the bible translations. Emma carried two children while the eight year old walked beside her and Joseph in prison. Well, what a way to start the day. It isn't to much of a sacrifice to work in an office 8-10 hours a day.
Today Elder & Sister Call and Elder & Sister Heilner arrived. I spent the morning setting up and preparing for the luncheon with the help of Sister Ernstrom and Sister Westinskow. I went the 'Esential' store and they were out of ice therefore I walked home and got all the ice from the freezer to take to the office. The Brits don't use ice much in water. I also cut up the carrots and cucumber for lunch. So I was very grateful to return home. Elder Wallace and Elder Ernstrom took the van to Heathrow Airport. The couples took two different airplanes and arrived at two different terminals. They had quite the time getting them all to the car. The Calls have left her mother who has Alzheimer and a son-in-law that needs a kidney transplant. Sister Call is an Engineer and worked at Thiocall. She was a true rocket scientist. Sister Heilner owned 'Dress in White' stories and knew the Checketts. Today was a much better day in the food services. Everything was ready and delicious. Everyone loved the chicken salad sandwiches on rolls. They tasted so fresh. We had 'GU' for dessert.
I'm in charge of passports and BRP's so I collected the passports and got to work copying and almost gave them back the passports until I realized that Elder Wallace needs to pick up BRP's from the Kensington Post Office. The Calls were kind of leary of me taking their passports. I want to note that Sister Ernstrom is teaching me such valuable lesson in organization. I might turn out to be a good secretary some day. Elder and I took the Heilner's to Oxford while the Westinskow's took the Calls to Cambridge to their new home. Sweet Sister Loader and Sister Richardson bought food for the Heilner. They met us at the senior couple flat and introduced themselves and brought the keys and combination to the door. The flat is a great place to hold institute, FHE, and gatherings for the YSA. We arrived home sometime after 7 am and had chicken salad sandwiches for dinner. We are not to motivated to fix dinner tonight. It was along day. We are planning on going into the office tomorrow to finish up some work.
Elder is making some granola and it smells divine. Steve & Emily loved the granola. Time for some R&R before tomorrow.
