Trip to Preston

Early Wednesday morning we boarded the Stena Line Ferry and headed to Scotland. This was the first leg on our journey to the Preston Temple with the YSA.
Everyone was there on time and we had smooth sailing across the Irish Sea.

We had a nice group go, although we wish we could have had a few more to fill the coach that picked us up in Scotland and took us to Preston....
Stopping for rest and relaxation......

We arrived at the Temple in the afternoon.
It was a fun coach (bus) ride....Brother Noble kept reminding us that a lot of the joy was in the journey!!!
We had wonderful weather while we were there. The Temple was beautiful and we were so blessed with no rain and unseasonal warm temperatures.

The grounds on the temple site are really nice. We enjoyed the short walk from the accommodation center to the temple.

We were able to have a wonderful experience together. It was the first time to the temple for two new converts. Everyone had a great time and we were all spiritually uplifted.

We were able to have two great firesides. One was held at the Preston Chapel.
This is the Mission Training Center (MTC).
Back on the bus and headed home.....we stopped and visited the Wee Big Shop!
We were tired when we arrived home. We almost missed the ferry because of traffic but we made it back to Belfast before midnight! What a great trip! Lots of good memories!!!! It's hard to believe we were in three different countries all in one day!
