Sorry

Dear Family and Friends,

I am still working on sending a perfect blog.....

That will come...maybe not on this mission but sometime.

One correction I need to mention though.....the two statues and Laurel and Hardy not
Abbott and Costello.

Love ya, Sister Ada

The Liverpool District Missionarieis


This is our fabulous Liverpool District.
They are marvelous young men.
We will miss them terribly when we move to Barrow In Furness Saturday. I'm sure the district there will be just as great....but these young men are family now.....just like our Warrington Ward Family.

Caernarfon and Conwy Castles in Wales










They were even having a carnival time when we were at Caernarfon castle. Both castles are
awesome. The whole city of Conwy
is surrounded by a high wall.





Manchester United/Arsenal game











Dave and Heidi
had a blast at the game

Abbott and Costello Museum




We took pictures
in front of the
Abbott and Costello museum.

Beatriz Potter's home in the borough of Hill Top







We took a ferry across Lake Windemere to the borough of Hill Top to get a feel for the writing environment of Beatriz Potter.

Lake Windemere







This is the largest lake in the Lake District. It is a very picturesque area. We will be living in the Lake District.

This is the center of our little village where everything happens. The town comes out and supports everything that happens here.
The building in the background was built in the 1,500's.

Preston Temple

Sunday after church
we went to the
Preston Temple
and took pictures.
We didn't realize until
we got there that
the gates are locked
when no one is working
there.

Castles in Wales


Paul and Heidi had a fabulous time in the Caernarfon and Conwy castles in Wales. They had a marvelous guide at the Conwy castle so they learned the most there.

Manchester Airport



This is Paul and Heidi when we picked them up at the Manchester Airport. You can see the birthday balloons in the background.

Darling restaurant



Paul is in front of "The Manor". It is one of our favorite restaurants. They have created a play area for children at the side of the restaurant.

Memories
















There were hundreds of pictures on each person's camera so actually you got off easy.










So hard to say goodbye but so worth it.
















The family made sure that they were back from seeing sights on Wednesday, April 29 because it was Elder Steenhoek's 74th birthday. We had a great party.
