We attended a Senior Missionary Conference that was held at Eaves Hall, an old mansion that has been converted into a hotel near Clitheroe. The place is shown behind Joan and was lovely. After lawn bowling, croquet and golf, we had the conference. The next day we all headed to the temple. Next to Barbara and Larry in the picture of the group is Pres. and Sister Jacobsen on our left and Elder and Sister Jarvis on our right. Sister Jarvis was from Bakersfield and used to play duets with my sister, Marcia. What a small world this is.
The next day we did a zone conference tour of church history sites in the area. We started in Liverpool where we visited Albert Docks and the Maritime Museum there. Next we went to Preston where we were rained on (see the video) while trying to see where the first baptisms in England were done. Finally we visited a small town near Preston called Downham, where the early missionaries were quite successful. The village is owned by a Lord Ashton and he allowed us to use his restored village church for the conclusion of our conference. President Jacobsen is standing in front of the window where Elder Fisher played the violin. It was a wonderful day.
Finally, I have included a picture of a new Elder in our district, Elder Turner. He is Elder Di Iulio's new companion in Kendal. He is a wonderful Elder and we love him already.
