Nemethinuk: May 2015

Dunstable Service Project

May 9th we were able to be part of a service project with the Dunstable ward at the Dunstable Cemetery. Lots of over grown trees and bushes that were completely covering graves. So we helped to cut back and uncover those graves.

Our project was to cut back this huge Yew tree to
expose several covered graves and the pathway.
It was a massive job

May is Here

Not sure how April disappeared on us but May started with the birth of the new Royal Baby Princess - Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. Many sights in London were lit in pink for her that day! We also had our Stake Conference where we were sustained and set apart as Stake YSA Advisory (already doing that but officially listed with them and Elder Nemeth onto the High Counsel for the Stake. We love working in the St Albans Stake and wards here. So many great people.

April is Here

Can't believe it has been over month since we have posted anything. Will try to catch you all up on what we have been doing over here in sunny England. April was a busy month that flew by and May is promising to be that way as well since we are already half way through! Our month started out with General Conference which we were able to show all 6 sessions at our house. Lots of Young Single Adults as well as a few others came. We had a variety of numbers depending on the session with the largest being 19 and the smallest (those were usually for the 9 - 11 p.m. session) being 4. Had lots of food. Some stayed the whole day and talked with us in between sessions. It was a very full two days. 2:00, 5:00 and 9:00 p.m. each day. The first week in April we were finally able to get to the London Temple! Seven months of pain had finally been managed enough with medication and surgery that Elder Nemeth was able to make the trip. It is about 1.5 hour drive from our house - most of that on the "motorway" (aka highway) called the M25 that is a huge ring road around London. We are on the north side and the temple is on the south. There are accommodations there so we stayed over night to lessen the travel per day. So wonderful to be back to the temple again. We had missed that. Ever grateful for the improvement in his back - not 100% yet but much much better.
