North Trip: Part I


(If you look at this map, on the stretch from Ambleside to Edinburgh is about a 3.5 hour drive. I got some sort of stomach bug and spent about 3 hours of that drive in the coach wash closet (bathroom) dry heaving. Absolute worst experience of the entire 4 month program.)


Preston, England
Preston is where the first LDS missionaries resided and began preaching the restored gospel in the United Kingdom. We were blessed enough to get a guided tour around Preston and then were able to do baptisms in the Preston Temple.

where the missionaries experienced direct Satanic opposition


These two placques were in the largest park in Preston. They were to commemorate the first LDS saints and missionaries in the United Kingdom

I put together a panorama of the view from Arthur's Seat and this is what it spit out instead
