We have a dear friend who lives an hour away from the airport and got permission to take Elder Tilley and Whilhelm on a little site seeing tour during their 8 hour layover. These are emails from her:
 |
| Airport Arrivals |
 |
| Look who is here! |
 |
| Look who I found! |
 |
| Trafalgar Square |
 |
| Typical English Experience (London Fish and Chips) |
 |
| Fish n chips |
 |
| Spring has sprung |
 |
| Buckingham Palace |
 |
| Me with African necklace |
Anything for my lovely friend! I am really stiff (ha!) but I'm
sure it's good for me. Can't remember if I already wrote this but I
haven't walked that much (two hours straight) since my accident in
November. They are just such nice young men! I told them they would
be glad to have a break from my talking (tour guide, asking questions, telling
them stories).
Elder Tilley still has his Branch President skills...he was making
sure of the details and such. I did send them on the tube by themselves
going back (I did go down and made sure they went on the correct train).
They will have two Oyster cards (transportation) that I will see if you can
mail to my sister as she will be coming over. I'll remind you later and
give you her address.
Prayers were definitely answered today - I was praying so hard that
we would meet up okay (their flight was on the board that it had arrived and
that baggage was being delivered...and then that the baggage was
delivered, but then it went off the "radar" even though there were
flights before and after theirs listed. I went and asked the information
man and he gave me the number to call for immigration. I said a fervent
prayer and right after that Elder Tilley called my cell to let me know they
were on their way even though it was taking some time). The other prayer
was that my leg would last through lots of fast and furious walking. ha!
It was a privilege to do this. You've raised such nice
children!!
Now enjoy this blissful time of life!!
