Hiya!
It's had it's hard moments here on the mission, but it's amazing how the Lord helps you through. He knew Exactly who I would need as a companion. We are so able to be open and honest with each other, it's so nice. It's been interesting; together we have come to the realization that when we get upset or annoyed at each other, it's almost always because we feel insecure or are annoyed with ourselves. It's hard to take constructive criticism! Even when it's done in a loving way you can allow your pride to over exceed your potential. Say sister Wilkinson gave me some constructive criticism and I took it as a negative thing, then that would be prideful. I wouldn't listen to what she said and in turn wouldn't be able to change something that I should in order to help me become a better missionary. That's what I have been learning this week. Is that we feel like were not too prideful, but how do we react when someone gives us criticism? or suggests to us something that we could do better on? If we allow our pride to get in the way we will never realize our potential, because we are not willing to look inside ourselves and change. I hop all of that made sense. That's what I have been learning through experience this week! haha. I'm just so thankful to the Lord that I have such a great companion who is patient and has the same sense of humor so we can laugh together haha.
I
unfortunately have not got your package. Basically what happens is that
it goes to the mission home and it sits there until our Zone leaders
can travel from Dundee to Edinburgh to pick up peoples packages (or
until someone could bring the packages to them... i dunno if they do
that) and then they have to travel to where you are and find out a time
that they can drop it by for you. They like to hand it to you so it's
not sitting on your porch for someone to steal... so yeah it's quite the
process. I will get it i'm sure, just havent gotten it yet. C: I did
get the cute valentines card! Made me cry happy tears C: and I got Dads
letter.
Transfers
aren't until the end of February. Sister Wilkinson and I are really
hoping to stay together (especially since we've been learning sign
together) but she's been here for ages! her whole mission! WHich is
5months.. ish SO fingers crossed!
I've
been feeling good! Well you know you have those moments and days,
sometimes just the morning is stink, but over all, I'm powering through
C: As the old scottish ladies say here in Fife: "Ach dunna worry Hen"
;)
OK
so weird things.... uh their cheese tastes weird. it's very different.
aaaand they bread is a lot better, though it goes out of date a lot
faster because there's less preservatives. Everything is just smaller!
most people have their washer in their kitchen and don't have a
dishwasher, or a dryer. Some people have a dryer but not a lot. so we
have to wash our clothes through out the week cuz we only have one rack
that can only fit so many things on it! There should be a pic of our
flat on one drive! It's the first level (not the bottom one but the next
one. You actually can't see our door lol I took it very quickly but
there ya go! that's where we live. It's kinda closed off, from the
street, so that's nice. Also it's really close to the high street, also
nice. We went to West Wemyss beach where there are caves and the MacDuff
castle!! Cool beans right!? it was mostly ruins but you could climb ll
around. it was pretty dangerous actually but that panoramic photo is
from the top of it! C: We went with the Elders so that was...
interseting. it's amazing how much more immature they become with
regular clothes on ;) haha. it was great though!
We
had a miracle! We met two new potential investigators last night when
we went to go visit a less active. We had no idea they were going to be
there and they were both people we have met before! they are boyfriend
and girlfriend but we met the guy Gary when we were teaching a family
(who we lost contact with) and then the girl Diane on a bus and we
showed up to our LA house and we were like "Hey! we know you! " haha it
was crazy! the lord provides. Also Lily's baptism date is for the 27th
basically because we wouldn't be able to teach her fast enough all of
the baptism points haha other than that she's totally ready and so
excited to spread the gospel. AH! She's just awesome... Anyway.. that's
quite a lengthy e-mail but there you go! I hope that will keep your
heart song happy throughout the week ;)
Here's a fantastic quote!
"Obedience is the Price,
Faith is the Power,
The Spirit is the Key,
Love is the Motive,
CHRIST is the Reason" ~Unknown
Alrighty Have a super duper great week!
