Well the title of this post pretty much sums up my day. This morning we went to the church and I transcribed from an old cassette tape a sermon from 1986. The pastor says it is one of the best ever given on Presbyterianism, but there is no digital copy. They are going to put it on their website. It was challenging, because the man giving the sermon is very Scottish, and at times I had to listen to a phrase a few times before I could get it perfect, but I really enjoyed it. I sat in the chapel while working, which is an old convent bought by the church. It was really neat to think about the Reformed Heritage in this nation! And I learned a lot. After that Mallory and I conquered London public transportation by ourselves. We took the bus and the tube! It was a great success! We just better not get too over confident. Then we met our new friends from church Jono and Marta and went to WIMBLEDON. Yes, that's right. Check that one off my bucket list. It was a blast! We hadn't planned this at all, they just asked yesterday if we wanted to go, and tickets are cheap after 5 pm!
The queue is a big deal apparently. We only had to wait in line about an hour or so, but some people camp out!
There is a huge TV with the main match for people who don't have tickets to get in there. You can have a picnic and overlook London!
I had no idea there were so many courts! I lost track of how many matches we saw part of.
It's incredible how close you are to the courts!
We had so much fun watching the ball boys, who are in high school and take their job very seriously. This was such a great surprise and something I'll remember forever!
