Liverpool/Preston/Herefordshire

okay everyone we are in England! The last country of my Europe experience. I had previously been to London the year before and was excited to see a bit more of the country. 
 this is Liverpool! 
This statue is dedicated to all of the hundred of mormon saints that boarded ships here for the states.  
 I personally have ancestors from England who were converted to the church and left from this dock to come to America. There are actually books about them. 
 such a pretty view!
 an english stone wall!
The first ever "loo of the year" award!! 
 goofballs in Preston!
 one of the many things dedicated to the Mormon Saints. 
It is said that HUNDREDS of people were baptized one day here in the river ribble

 President Gordon B. Hinckley's apartment. "forget yourself and go to work"
The Preston Temple!  

 The best fish n Chips in all of England. Jay Sea's
 Benbow farm
 Benbow Pond
 so lovely had to take a picture

 enough said
"eavesdropping" if you would like to know the whole story its actually quite awesome, just leave a comment and ask!
 Herefordshire Beacon aka, steepest hill of my life
but the view was well worth it 

 the oldest chapel the church owns. this is how you unlock the door

 great friend in a great place

I loved this leg of the trip I had wonderful spiritual experiences and my testimony of the gospel grew a lot. I am super grateful for the temple and the chance I had to go!!
