Sister McBride and Sister Wilkinson outside the church building they call 'The Kirk'
Hello! everyone sorry the emails have not been coming regularly. With the crazy holidays and then I had the flu last week for a few days but it's all good now! and the computers we use are... OLD... LOL...and often crashes...
We have a baptismal date!!! set
for Lilly and Mark! They're the deaf couple we've been teaching.
Unfortunately I wasn't there for the lesson when they set the date. We
were on exchanges with the Sisters from Dunfermline. Sister Martin is
super cool! I'll send a picture of us with this lady from Tonga named
Sepi. She's a member that moved from Tonga to be here with her sister.
her English isn't very good but her sister isn't LDS so she didn't know
where the church was. She sent a referral to have the missionaries come
over so we did and she cried because she was so happy to see Sis Martin
and I and that she could go to church on Sunday cuz she missed it so
much. She is such a sweet heart! Anyway so yeah the other sister (Sis
Wagner) and Sis. Wilkinson saw Lilly and Mark with an interpreter who
knows BSL from his mission, a BSL missionary, and were able to resolve
some issues they had about baptism. Now it's all set for Feb 18th!! WOOT
were super excited. they're just so ready for the gospel it's
ridiculous C:
We're also teaching a nice
older lady named Margret who's like 75 or something. She makes us scones C:
she really liked how we think family history is important and she
really enjoyed the story of Joseph Smith. We've only met with her once
so we'll see how things go today. hopefully she's still interested C:
We had a south Scotland
conference? I bleieve that's what it was. Cuz it was more than just our
zone but not all of Scotland... I'm not really sure what it was lol. It was about what our goals are for this year
which is two baptisms per missionary per year! So yay! I think it's very
accomplish-able and I'm excited to do it. It was a very good spiritual
conference. I also had my first district meeting last Tuesday. We didn't
have it for so long because of the holidays. Plus Elder Bailey the DL
was new to the area. Moves are next week! crazy right?! Sister Wilkinson
and I will probably stay since I'm in training but we're not sure about
the Elders.
Yay for the letter from
francis! (mom here: Sister Francis had heard when Sister McBride had gotten there that I was concerned about the skyping since I we hadn't gotten any email and I didn't know when etc. She told sister McBride that she would write to me and tell me she is taking good care of her, which she did, it was a lovely sweet letter and it said "not to worry that I'm taking good care of the lovely sister McBride when she visits every Saturday"... So sweet!) I'll have to tell her you got her letter. She's our mission
presidents mother-in-law. She's like 5 foot nothing and 94! She is a hardy Scotts woman..haha... so sweet.
Sister Wilkinson and I sang in Church yesterday. We sang where can I turn for
peace. Sis. Wilkinson is like a genius at piano and made up this
beautiful arrangement off the top of her head.
Well, I only have about a minute left... Gospel is true everyone! share it! love you all A whole ton!!
