Mass email

 (mom here: sister McBride sent out a mass email and I thought I would put it on here. The other letters she has send she has asked me to put them on the blog. She didn't ask with this letter but I thought I would. I did correct some spelling errors the keyboards there are set up different so she as more mistakes then usual. The picture above is one she sent. She lives right by the ocean. I think they came across it one day.)

  Hello everyone! sorry it's taken me so long to get something out to all of you. I'm not very good with mass emails,

So here's the deal. Basically we have these golden investigators who are deaf. They were already contacted when I came out so when I was assigned to be here in Kirkacaldy with Sis. Wilkinson she told me we got permission from the president to have 30min of language study each morning. So for the past couple of months I've been learning British Sign Language! it's been really fun and it truly is a different language. Sign language has it's own crazy grammar and everything. I'm told it's similar to German. Anyway here's the story. Lilly and Mark are married. Lilly is from Malaysia and was a type of missionary back at a church there where their was a good deaf community who all went to church and she was kinda at the head of it. So when she came here to Scotland she told us that when she would go to bed at night she kept feeling Heavenly Father tell her to go  to church! So she tried all these different ones but none of them felt right or no one knew sign language. but then! one day Sis. Wilkinson and her previous companion Sis Johnson were chapping (or tracting) and they slipped a mormon.org card with their number on it through the letter box on their door. (because of course they didn't hear them knock) Lilly said as soon as she saw the card she felt the spirit and she just started crying and was co excited because she knew the Lord had given her an answer! So she text the missionaries! How cool is that!? She is so awesome. Our sign language is very simple so we often can't explain things well. (mark  has no religious background at all) But Lilly will totally understand what we are saying, Perfectly and will explain it to Mark! She is fantastic and they have already brought a friend named Andrew who is also deaf to church and we have now committed him to baptism! It's so interesting that they are so diligent in coming to church. Even though we are horrible interpreters and they cant hear a thing and cant really communicate with people they come excited every sunday. The people who can't hear anything are the ones who have been the mostl willing to take an act of faith to hear the words of God. It is truly amazing.

We also got to teach the lesson yesterday in Relief Society about .... wait for it.... missionary work of course haha. It was good. We feel the sisters are more excited to do missionary work and feel that it is accomplishable. C:

So the Presidents mom and Sister Presidents mom both live in the ward and they are just about the sweetest old ladies of ever!! seriously. so sweet! Ah... hardy scottish old ladies are the best!

The Lord has a work set out for all of you to do! and he is looking to you to help Him in bringing other to the church, whether thats being a friend and example as a member or setting out on a mission. It's our duty as members to give others the light that we have to that they can have great happiness. Don't let the adversary tell you any different 2 timothy ch1 Fear doesn't come from God.

anyway have a great week!

Hopefully the pictures that I attach will go through.

Love Sister McBride
