First of all, I just want to say that I absolutely love the milk here. I drink it all the time. Also, it's crazy that it comes in pints (or 4 pints if you're me and drink more milk than anyone else here). Now on to the important things. We to to church this morning at the Hyde Park ward (same building we have class in). It was freezing cold in there today, as well as outside. It was so neat to hear all of the different accents as people bore their testimonies. London is such a diverse place as far as nationality goes. The steak president came and talked us, but he was a bit late. He said his little girl kept trying to tell him she needed to go to nursery with her little brother, so she could keep him from hitting other children. He said, although she had a good argument, he had to sit with her for a while in primary to get her to go. I thought that was a cute story. After church, we just relaxed and tried to stay warm. I even took a nice little nap while attempting to read Twelfth Night for class. We then went to a Young Single Adult fireside. The first speaker was really funny, and I really enjoyed his talk. He asked the audience to give some big decisions they had made in their lives. When no one responded, he pointed to my roommate a few rows in front of me and asked her specifically. After she responded, he began scanning the audience for another victim. I learned a vital lesson, don't move a muscle! I lifted my hand and tucked my hair behind my hear, and the next thing I knew he was mimicking and saying, "You're playing with your hair, that means you have something to say." Apparently, I have something to say a lot more often than I thought because I do that a lot. I just said the first thing that came to my mind and talked my decision to come on the study abroad. He asked what I got from that decision, and I talked about my opportunities to learn and grow. He said I missed mentioning something and pointed to a row of boys in the front. Someone else from our group announced that we weren't allowed to date while we here, and he laughed and informed me that I had obviously made the wrong decision. Anyway, after the fireside, we got some refreshments. Lexy was very excited because she has saying she wanted ice cream for a few days now, and the refreshments were little ice cream bars. Then, we went home and did homework. It was a good day. Happy Sunday! :)

They come in pints? I'm getting one!
