Day 8- London

Our last day as a big group, started with a delicious breakfast of cheese and a muffin!
In the morning we made our way to the Wesley Chapel and Wesley House. This has been one of my favorite things to see. It was a chance to see where John Wesley preached and lived for a portion of his life. John Wesley’s tomb may also be found here. We saw parts of both John and Charles Wesley’s lives, things they had growing up and much more. The sanctuary was beautiful and very well kept up. We ended up staying long enough to take part in their communion service where we got to hear the original organ that Charles Wesley would compose hymns from.
The afternoon was left for shopping prior to getting ready for the musical we were attending tonight. We went shopping in a very crowded but well priced flea market/ shopping strip. They had a little bit of everything I enjoyed my time just relaxing as we walked around looking at the different stores and styles.
Back to the hotel and getting ready for Sister Act. After finally arriving at the theater our very top balcony seats turned into 7th row seats because they still had them empty. This was really good; we laughed a lot and enjoyed the music and story of the production. It was a really cool thing that we got together to end our time in London and in Berlin as we all fly out tomorrow morning going our separate directions.
The play ended last night so we walked around making our way back to the hotel finding one restaurant open for our last meal in London, eating a chicken Pita. It has been a great trip, with some great people. Tomorrow as the rest of my Jurisdiction heads back to the States I head back to Germany for one more night before I head home.
