Beautiful English Country

Wow, this was a fun beautiful day and the weather was great except until the end when we got caught in a huge down pour, but thats England. Today, we visited alot of the little country towns the the missionaries visited and baptized many people. Our guide was fantastic and told us many stories, too numerous to mention here. Just a few Ribchester, where Heber C. Kimball had an amazing dream, Walkerfold, where Willard Richards wife, Jennetta was born, Stonyhurst College, where it is told that Tolkein wrote alot of the Lord of the Rings and got inspiration for the books, especially the Shire. Chatburn & Downham where the missionaries had much success and felt a great love and spirit for the people and the Prophet Joseph said to Heber, after Heber told him of this experiences there, "Did you not understand it? That is a place where some of the old prophets travelled and dedicated that land, and their blessings fell upon you." I think the pictures will say the rest.
