Going to Ledbury, Gadfield Elm and Hill Farm on Saturday was such a treat for us. The trip up there was exceptionally beautiful, so we hope to drive through that area again. In particular, we would like to visit Abergavenny while we are not programmed as heavily as usual. It has been a great opportunity to see more of Wales. Luc's family, the Rasmussen's, have certainly facilitated that. They invited us to their home where they fed us and entertained us. Zoe is a gifted musician and played the harp for us after a delightful lunch prepared by Luc's Mom and sister, Cami. Luc's father is the Bishop in Swansea and his mother teaches Institute there. Then we all went to the Gower and walked the Worm's Head. The day was very windy, cool and overcast but it was still delightful and felt so good to walk along the Gower and listen to the sea. I loved the geese, cows and sheep we saw as we drove through the countryside. The Rasmussen's were so nice to us and we appreciate the time they took to show us more of Wales. That evening we went to Family Home Evening at the Swansea Chapel with the YSA in that area. It was nice to meet with them and several are our regulars in Cardiff during the school year.
Zone Conference was enjoyable and a great way to spend my birthday on a mission. We love seeing the other missionaries and learn what they are doing and feeling. We always learn something to make our mission better at Zone Conference. But we really miss being able to see Elder Bearnson now that he is out being a regular teaching missionary which he loves. 
It is nice that one of our YSA is getting married. Sam Gould and Caroline Elston will be married, I think in October. Their engagement party at the Park House was lovely and it was so fun to see the other YSA, especially Chen Chen who will be here for a few more weeks.
