The time is really flying by us, it seems. We are staying busy and I guess that helps. We love what we are doing and we feel like we are really serving the Lord so we find our jobs very satisfying. We are very comfortable in our living arrangements and life style in London. Everywhere we go it is tube, bus, walk or take a cab or a combination. We avoid taxi's as much as possible they are expensive and no faster than public transportation. Joyce is getting around on her own very well now, like when she goes to have her hair done, we are true converts to big city living. We love working with our London Mission missionaries, Joyce and several senior sister missionaries made Easter Baskets for the missionaries this week and we attended one of their Zone Conferences. They are truly wonderful young people, committed to the work, clean, wholesome and willing to give of themselves. We always look at them and think of our two grandsons who are also serving now. We are getting ready for a lunch we are hosting next week for seven Ambassadors from Latin American Countries. We are excited to tell them about all of the wonderful things The Church is doing for the people in their country. In, what they call the Latin American Group,21 Ambassadors from Central and South America, we will report that LDS Charities has provided collectively to their countries $3.3 Billion. Keep paying your Fast Offerings. Saturday we had another adventure we went to Hampton Court Palace, which became the home of Henry VIII, after he talked Cardinal Woolsey out of it. It has been added on to several times by subsequent Kings and Queens and the grounds are magnificent. Sir Christoper Wren was the designer of most of it and he is famous for designing St. Pauls Cathedral. It took us two bus transfers to get there but we enjoy sightseeing on the top deck of double-decker buses. We took a train and the tube home public transportation is wonderful and Joyce is very relaxed because she doesn't have to look for parking places for me. We are enjoying the mission, we miss our family and friends, like getting together today for Easter, but we are blessed for our service. We enjoy wearing our Mission Name Badges we have been stopped several times on the street but never a negative. We love you and pray for you. Love, Joyce and Stan
