Sunday morning I woke up exhausted from going to bed so late. My hair was also still wet and so I didn't have a lot of time to get ready and so I had to put my hair up (I am proud to say it’s the first time I have this whole trip!) We headed to church this week with no troubles, YAY!
Church was great as the London Mission President and his wife spoke in Sacrament Meeting. Yay for fellow Americans. Sunday School was also good but the whole time I was thinking of my lesson and how nervous I was to teach it.
I then went to Relief Society and they introduced me as "Sister Abagail". Haha. I then got up and gave my lesson. It was on the life of Christ and I talked about different stories in his life, the characteristics/attributes he exemplified and how we can apply them in our own life. It went suprisingly well. Everyone contributed with great comments, they read the scriptures and the quotes I wanted too. I was pleased and got many compliments. What a great experience.
Afterwards we went and took pictures around our "church building" so we could remember it and we said goodbye to the ward.
(This is where we had Sacrament Meeting...it is the school gym).
(This is the foyer of the church, if you will). When we got back we relaxed, studied, had a wonderful "last supper" as a group and then we had a devotional that night. It was a testimony meeting and I cried so hard. And then of course we ended with "God Be With You 'Till We Meet Again", which made me cry even more. We then had big bugging fests and cried some more. Oh how I will miss London, the people here and the experience I have had!
We then were tired and didn't want to study and so we went a little crazy and danced around our room and took pictures of our room and the center so we could remember it. I even got a picture of Tiffany getting ready for bed and she was so mad! :)
I went to bed that night at…3 AM!!! (See a trend here?)

Actually "Abigail" would also be a compliment to you. You can read about her in 1st Samuel 25. She was a great example of living a Christ-like life in spite of some harshness in her life.
