May 18, 2015: HI YA! from Scotland, it's been a stressful week.

Got this pic from her today. I thought it was so cool. On the streets of Scotland. Her yellow skirt just pops with color against the cobble street. We also got a dropbox link of the Easter choir tour where all the sister and elders have their own folder where they can upload all the pictures they took. It has been fun going through them. This is one of the pictures from that link. 






Hello everyone! I hope you're all well!

We got and interesting wake up call to our phone ringing at 6:20! it was the elders asking if they could use our church key to go to the church for their work out this morning. I guess they forgot theirs... Lets just say Sister Reed and I didn't like missing those 10minutes! But its ok... they're nice enough elders ;)

This week was a bit crazy but good! we had a LOT of people drop our appointments, members, investigators, just all around everywhere haha. Which is fine. gives us more time to do finding!

We had stake conference this week! I got to sign for Lily, Mark and Andrew! So fun. the new sister, Sister Skagen, is like way good! She took ASL classes for 3 years so she's a super good interpreter! Our stake conference was a lot about the attitude of positivity. I learned that positivity is the mind-set that will lead to a change in us and in others. It was a really good stake conference! There is and Elder Boehme (baymie) from AZ that's going home this transfer. He is an amazing Elder and we're going to miss him.


I was just thinking the other day when we walked by this awesome church. ( I think it was one) It was crammed on this little street next to a bunch of flats but it was beautiful! It even had bells in the bell tower! So that was cool. I just still don't understand how people can graffiti or litter on or near something to historical! I mean we went to some caves back in Kirkcaldy they had ancient carvings. Like before Mideval times and some guys took a car in there and lit it on fire causing all of the carvings to go away! Bah! how even do people do that....? Anyway haha it's not too often you hear a horror story like that XD
Miracle yesterday. I took a nap during lunch( haha that's not the miracle). basically slept all the way through it! Knocked out cold! When I woke up I was still super exhausted and I think my blood sugar level was low so I was feeling a bit shakey. But I knew I had to go out and do the work so I prayed tht Heavenly Father would bless me with the strength and energy to go out. And he totally did! The more and more people I talked to the happier I felt and the more energy I received, it was awesome. C: The Lord watched over us.

I've been studying a lot in D&C... as I'm sure I've mentioned... But in section76 Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon receive revelation concerning the 3Kingdons of glory. Its way cool, but I love that it talks about the Celestial Kingdom first. Because that's the one that we're striving for! How awesome is that?

Also the more I'm here the more I believe that Tolkien modelled hobbits after the Scottish people. Also for those of you who want to visit here someday be prepared for the amount of smoke and the really bad B.O. agh... sometimes the buses are the worst.... But other than that (and the rain) Scotland is beautiful! :)

Hope you all have a great week!

The church is true and the Book of Mormon is the word of God. It will help you through anything. Any problem you face you can overcome through Jesus Christ and reading Gods word.
