Day 30 - Truth Restored

Today was a very chill day, though it was quite hot. We started it off by going to church, which was in English, of course :) Church was great! I love our church. No matter where you are in the world, you can find it! Not only that, but it will have the same format, the same doctrine, the same Gospel. I love it!
Then Elisabeth and I headed out to Hyde park. After eating lunch, I napped in the shade. It was so nice and I slept for so long. It was quite refreshing. Then we walked around for a little while, trying to find Speakers' Corner, which we did eventually find.
This is a place where people can speak their beliefs, whether they be religious or secular. We heard some very strange things.

He was our favorite. Jesus made your orange juice.

After hearing all of the things that were said by the religious people, I am ever more grateful for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am so thankful that I have all the truths in my life. I do not know what I would do without the knowledge that I have. I know without a doubt that the Gospel is true. It works out too well to be false. It feels too right to be a lie! I love our Church!

And thus ended our day in the sunshine.

Wonderful testimony, Ariel! Thank you for sharing it with us. I think sometimes we take our faith for granted, and it takes hearing others ideas or misconceptions to really appreciate what we have!

Day 21 - Class, Louvre, FHE

Class was good today. I had French 102 and Religion. Not bad. After that, I headed to the Louvre with Haley and Chelsea. I didn't bring my SLR with me because it wouldn't fit, so I took my point and shoot. Wow. What a difference. I knew I loved my SLR, but not I really love my SLR! I didn't take any good pictures, but I'll tell you that I did see Charles I Dismounted by Van Dyck. That was pretty exciting. I love to see paintings that I recognize. After we chilled at the Louvre for a while, we headed out (well, we lost Chelsea and found Richard) to the Ricks' place. We were a little early so we went to see the Eiffel Tower. We saw it all lit up. It was pretty awesome. Then off to the Ricks'. We played a charade-type game for FHE and it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed myself. And I was able to use their super fast internet to update my blog. So it all worked out well and it was a good night! PS Thanks to those of you who have been able to post comments. I reall...

My sister Rachel had her baby boy Benjamin earlier this morning. This is the 19th time I've been an aunt. And I still absolutely adore it. I get just as excited with each birth. He's a new life. He's a miracle. I love children. With Benjamin and Abi, his oldest sister. I love her face in this one! Isn't he just adorable? Look at that hair! Oh I love him :)
