Day Twenty Two: A Relaxing Sunday at Home

Sunday October 16th, 2011

It was great to have a relaxing Sunday where nothing really happened except church and then home to chill, re-group, plan the week etc. It was really, really nice to have a break in the crazy.

We attended church at Hyde Park Ward again, but it turns out we don't actually live in this ward's boundaries, which is apparently a BIG deal here-yikes! Everyone keeps asking us our postal code! As IF I even know it, lol.  We kinda thought we might not be 'in the boundaries,' for Hyde Park, but the other ward meets more than an hour away, and this on is 20 minutes. NOT exactly a tough decision for our touring weary bones as far as where we will be attending.  I was starting to feel a little guilty, but Richard pointed out that we were really little more than glorified tourists, as opposed to actual ward members, as we will be traveling so much we hardly qualify as 'living' anywhere. With General Conference in Week 1, Stake Conference in Week 3, and attending church in Paris, Prague and Sweden, during Weeks 6,7 and 8, we're not exactly going to be showing up to Hyde Park services enough for it to really matter. Ah well.  I'm planning on going to book club and enrichment anyway!

One very interesting thing about the ward is that it is mostly an ex-pat ward, kind of like Victoria 1 in Hong Kong.  Most of the people we talked to actually had American accents, lol. So we definitely feel right at home.
