June 22, 2015: ' HEY HEY'

Sister McBride with President Brown and his wife. This will be the last picture she gets with them. The new mission president is coming the 1rst week of July.

Hey hey!

So most people have heat and sunshine and we have clouds and rain. Came down pretty good yesterday but luckily we weren't out too much. it is warmer. I don't feel frozen fingers any more but I mean, I'll be honest, it's like the weather of mid November in Arizona here! Scotland gets like 3 real days of summer and then it's back to its normal self ;) But you've got to love life even with all it's crazy circumstances!

 We had an interesting relief society activity about funerals! What to plan, wear, coffins, what funeral plans to by, where and what different ways you can get buried. Did you know that there is a place in America where you can send them some of your ashes (well you family would send them your ashes) and they make you into a diamond?! Kinda creepy to have your family wearing you around on jewelery but also awesome to be able to literally become a diamond after you die.... but mostly just kinda morbid. There was this sweet funny older lady that is like out of an old black and white film. She's got that sweet high pitched voice and she's just super naive, in a good way. They were talking about spreading peoples ashes and that you have to get permission otherwise it's illegal and she says "Really? Oh, my husbands been spread over the swany ponds!" She's hilarious. It was definitely the most interesting relief society activity I've been to. I hope yours goes well mumsy! take pics and send me some! C: 

This week was good we met with our investigators Nick, Robert and Clinton. Nick has taken the lessons before and he was never baptized so we're not sure where to go with him, but he's nice enough. Though we actually took a girl with us as a joint teach and apparently she does not like him at all so that was a bit awkward! But Robert is cool though he flat out said no to coming to church says he's too busy. That just frustrates me because he's not too busy to meet with us every Wednesday morning! But he's nice and we'll get him eventually. Clinton is... interesting. He mainly just has a bunch of questions that he thinks are really deep and that we don't have answers to whereas we do we juts cant spout them out to him because otherwise he'll just get more and more confused. We keep telling him this and that we need to have a foundation first and that all of his questions are answerable. We had a good joint teach with us who is a returned missionary from Brazil, her names Rowan, she was really helpful.

We haven't heard from our Latvian friend Dmitry, which is unusual so we hope everything is going oK... Hopefully we hear back.

Remember that the book of Mormon is the most true book on this earth and it will be the most helpful thing in strengthening your testimony of Jesus Christ. Never forget what studying the book of Mormon has done. There will be people that try and tell you that" the book of Mormon doesn't testify of Jesus Christ" or that "it can't possibly be right because why would we need anything more than the Bible". Listen to what your Heavenly Father tells you pray about the book of Mormon and your testimony will be strengthened.

I love you all and Hope you have a fantastic week! Yay for summer break!

Lots of love

Sister McBride
