Today was such a good day! The elders in my ward, Elder Oviatt and Elder Manga, invited us to come with them when they teach one of their investigators this week! So, another girl named Kaylee and I are hopefully going with the missionaries on Tuesday to teach an investigator for the first discussion. The elders are going to call her on Tuesday morning to make sure that we can still come, then hopefully we'll be able to go! I'm kind of nervous to go, but I hope so bad that it works out, cause that'd be awesome! The only girl in Young Women that usually comes is named Isobel, and she's an investigator, and I've really liked being able to teach her and watch her learn. Next week is our last Sunday here, which makes me really sad! Even in the short amount of time I've been in the ward I've made friends with some of the members, and I've learned so much from them. Today in sunday school, one of the deaf members asked me if I could write down the lesson for him as the teacher was speaking, but then someone came who could sign. Phwew! Apparently American sign language is way different from British sign language, like as big of a difference between English and Spanish. Some of the girls from the program knew sign language, so they got to help out a little bit. After church we had a little lesson in British sign language from some of the boys in the ward, and it was super fun to get to talk to them!
Our church ended at noon, so after that we took the tube to the river Thames to watch the Jubilee celebration! Today for Jubilee 1,000 ships sailed down the Thames, and the queen was on one of them! The Jubilee celebration is for the queen being on the throne for 60 years, which has only happened one other time! We went down to the Thames, but people had been lining up there since early morning, so we couldn't see anything at all. It was almost more fun to watch all the people decked out in patriotic stuff and waving British flags. We boosted each other up so we could see over everyone and got to see the boats, so that was fun! It was also freezing and raining, so we didn't stay too long. We went back to the center and watched some of it on TV where we could actually see the boats. It was fun to be there though just for the experience! God save the Queen! :)
