The Beautiful Preston Temple

After a night in a 200 year old Irish Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast, we pressed on to the airport in Dublin.

And drove from there straight to the Preston Temple to try to find General Conference. We lucked out in that there is a stake center there and they showed both Sunday sessions live at 5-7 and 9-11 p.m. Great inspiration!

 

The most exciting part was being back in Charity’s own stomping grounds.  It was so fun to see the MTC where she stayed and the grounds of the temple which are, as they would say in England, brilliant!

We met so many bright-eyed young missionaries from all over the world last night at the conference session.

Except for a few early spring flowers, the leaves and bushes are waiting with  baited breath for a little warmth and sunshine (not today or tomorrow) to pop into glorious bloom.  You gotta love those baby green leaves!
