I needed the rental car to get
to church on Sunday. The closest ward met in Chesterfield a 25 minute
drive away.I arrived just in time for a 10am service. Then I wondered why there were only a few cars in the car park. I wandered through the building and saw a notice on the board about the change of ward meeting times to 10.30 am because of the people who travel by bus. That was changed a year ago!. It has not been changed on the internet. Never mind – I had time to go outside and take photos and relax.
This a beautiful chapel, so
modern and clean, about a year old. I took photos of the kitchen and
some of their notices. The cleaning roster included the ward
missionaries. They were having a photography competition. Also some
interesting Relief Society activities.
I met a missionary sister from
Tonga, Sister Fonua. That was so cool. She was the first Polynesian I
had come across during my travels. Another of those “home” things
you realise you miss. Made sure to get a photo with her. I posted it
on Facebook hoping one of her relatives might see it.
I spent about a half hour after
church talking to some of the sisters. A couple who had been to New
Zealand and familyy history consultants. The Relief Society
President, Linda Whittaker, was lovely
