Well, when I had asked Ryan which ward we should go to while there he told us to go to the Lichfield ward and to contact the Mace Family. I had emailed them prior to going and had arranged to meet them at church and to have dinner with them afterwards. We went to church, the building was smaller than our building and it was the Stake Center. But it was only 10 minutes from the hotel, and we were in the ward boundaries. Huge coincidence. Anyway, the meetings were reversed, but everyone there was so nice. After church we followed the Mace Family home. We had a great time with them. We sat and talked for a long time, and ate of course. They are very easy to talk to and very friendly and generous. We could see why Ryan loved them so much. After dinner they took us to the Lichfield Cathedral. Wow! that was beautiful. Amazing to see the architectural details inside. We then walked around the little village area to look at the shops and plaques. Then we went back to the Mace's home and talked some more until it was time to pick up Ryan. Sister Mace was so worried we would get lost, she insisted they lead us there. So, we followed them to the mission home where we waited a few minutes to pick up Ryan. It was so weird when he walked in, he hadn't changed a bit. Still looked the same. We got to meet all of the missionaries going home the next day. Most of the missionaries kept telling us how awesome Elder Lee is, which we of course agreed with. President Moffatt then took us aside with Ryan to tell how us again how amazing he is. Says he was a great missionary and he doesn't exaggerate or lie. He was a missionary that the others looked up to. After leaving we went back to the hotel and talked for a while. Then we finally went to bed, since he was pretty much falling asleep anyway.
