Sundays museum

so today is Sunday and we went to holy trinity church which is a very long walk from our home! we thought we were going to be walking to the tube then you know maybe walking a little ways not as far as we did! the outside of the church was beautiful and old, the inside was not so old... very whitewashed. that made me sad cause i could see past the pulpit (of a sorts) that the church had very beautiful old walls and paintings, the new parts of it did not do it justice. as the service was about to start i was surprised at the amount of children and infants still in the sanctuary, i don't know if they even have a nursery there i kinda doubt it. they do have a children's church that leave a bit before the service. the service was unusual, in the first place the pastor was wearing jeans, no tie of course it just seemed kinda weird to me for a pastor to be so informal. mom always told me in a sermon to take out the meat and leave the bones, well this sermon tested that, cause there was only like doves meat amount and then there were things i didn't agree with still don't exactly know how to handle. he talked about healing, and times when he had actually laid hands on people prayed and they'd been healed. his stories didn't seem like crackpot theories or like he was trying to pull the wool over our eyes but i just don't know what to believe about that. i know that my church doesn't believe that one prayer will change everything if so i would have gone up to them right then and there when they asked if anyone had an infirmity they would like to be prayed for. i don't know for now i'm going to stick by what i know and keep that in the back of my mind till like doubting Thomas i'm shown something that proves it.
so after the very long walk back and a quick lunch we headed to the British museum which is free! which is brilliant! shawn our guide was back so we got information that we wouldn't have had otherwise. we went into this one room and it had so many old books i was very excited! no one else seemed to get why i was excited old books are my passion i love to just look at them and be near that much knowledge now i know  i can't touch them or read them but just to see what all there is what all the kings of old gathered together. for the artifacts in that room are from kings and very wealthy collectors from a very long time ago. they even have fakes in that room very old fakes but fakes none the less. we got to see a fake merperson, which looked like a fetus before the legs are shaped but shawn said it might have been monkey parts glued to fish maybe. and they had a copy of the Rosetta stone, which i also got to see the original which is pretty cool. the real Rosetta stone is in the Egyptian artifacts room they have some good stuff there but the real stuff that most people want to look at is not in the artifacts room but upstairs its the mummies! british were almost famous for their looting of tombs second only to the french i think and you know those old brits could never be beaten by the french! they also have parts of the original Parthenon, the top part of one of the columns, many of the fresco, and a few of the statues to the gods, but they are missing a critical part to almost all of them the heads! since the Parthenon was blown up by the turks the heads and arms of just about everything fell off, plus the Parthenon was used as a Christian church and a Muslim mosque so they wouldn't want statues to the Greek gods and goddesses around them. we also saw the crystal skull like used in the last Indiana Jones movie but it was not made by the Aztecs how it was made was too modern for them to have created it. while on the tour we only hit the highlights i shall have to come back another time and see the rest of it. it will take many other times for that. well i must go to bed i actually have class in the morning and i'm meeting with the people for my internship stuff! most nervous
from london with love
