We're Back!

Yes, after a whirlwind trip home which included a wedding, an own endowment, a baptism, doctor, dentist, dermatologist, mammogram, hair dresser, shopping, family breakfasts and dinners, and everything else we could squeeze in, we returned.  It was a great trip, just long enough to mess up our time clocks but not long enuf to realize it.  We had a great time -- it was fun to see so many and be reminded that there is something to go home for.......because frankly, we love being here so much that we have wondered if home will be as grand -- but it will!

But......before we left we had a delightful visit from Katie and Rich and their inlaws.  It was fun to share a taste of England and Church History with them.....and of course, the daffoldils!

This is the wonderful little city of Chester -- an old Roman walled city filled with charm and on this day with people!   Standing on the wall overlooking the city is....so BRITISH!

And a final Sunday with the missionaries in Preston at the local square -- the Obelisk where the early missionaries first began in 1837 and Grandpa Hinckley began his preaching in 1933.

and......A touch of personal family history.  This is 10 Wickham Road in Nelson where their Grandpa Hinckley lived as a missionary in 1933!  The town itself is nothing but a mill town.  Looks much like the town he described when he lived there.  I am guessing it hasn't changed much!Life is filled with small treasures and these are some of them!
