10000 Words.

Yes. This post is worth 10000 words. Because: there are 10 pictures. [chad reminded me that pictures are worth 1000words. i'm taking him up on that offer.] And, I don’t want to talk too much. I thought I had won the war over Jetlag, because I had slept a lot on my way to London. But, today I found that Jetlag made a good retaliating attack. I fell asleep on every train. And believe me, I took a lot of trains today.

But I do want to hurry and say something cool: the Church is so true. Today I had the opportunity to talk to a Muslim girl for about 40 minutes about the Church. She is a senior in her university in Chicago, and is staying at the same hostel. She is doing a study abroad in Grenada, Spain. It was really neat to see how she took in the teachings of the gospel. And, although she only was interested in a scholarly perspective, it was a testimony builder for me. I was able to better articulate what we believed, and lay it out for myself. It is so amazing that we have a prophet today! And that he gives us guidelines that just lead us to become more like Him. So, keep working at it guys! Because the gospel is seriously a plan for happiness and salvation.

Anyways, I just wanted to let you guys know what is up in London-town. Because I don’t know how fascinating and green Russia will be. Hopefully 10x more fascinating and at least ½ as Green.

So, without any more words: enjoy the pictures! (well, there will be captions…so enjoy those words too.)

[sidenote. We biked by the temple today! It was awesome. The temple has a golden steeple.]{so much for not writing much, eh?}-enjoy my loves, Kylie

Jessica and I at Wellington Arch. It was majestic. And we had a nice bike ride to it!

I convinced Jessica to rent these Barclays bikes. We rode around Hyde's Park and to a couple attractions. I loved it so much. I wish the weather had permitted us to do it all day.

This is my awkward, "i'm caught in the wind" picture. seriously, it was so windy.

This is the Royal Albert Hall. We took a tour of it. It is such a neat building. Also, our tour guide told us that it has rained more in the past 2 days than it normally does in 2 MONTHS. yes, please read that again. I know my pictures are deceiving. But there is CONSTANT downpour.

I forgot my camera today. Which was unfortunate, because we went to Windsor Castle. And the colors of the garden are so vibrant, and my camera captures color so well. Anyways. It is amazing that Windsor Castle is still used! It is massive. Massive. And, there are lots of places to play ring around the roses.

So, after all the museums had closed, we needed something to do. Our favorite thing we have eaten here is Cookies from Millie's. We took 3 trains to get here! And it was closed!! This is me being sad.

Luckily we remembered Millie's has a shop in the Victoria train stop. This is my possessed with happiness look. The cookies seriously are to die for.

Our last night in London. I decided to eat fish and chips for a traditional, extremely greasy dinner. It was DELICIOUS. and disgustingly greasy, I couldn't even finish it because I was kind of disgusted with the grease.
