Hiya! from Scotland!
It's rainy yet again today
(it's always a Monday...) And the Autumn chill is creeping in, the
leaves are beginning to change and I feel winter coming soon! So far
I've held up with a light rain jacket and only one pair of tights! I
think I'm doing pretty good.
We
went to St. Andrews for the last time on P-day and saw the place where
Golf was supposedly invented! I bought a really expensive golf ball. It
was like £3... but hey its still pretty cool!!
We
dyed Sister Turners hair! First time I ever dyed someone's hair haha. A
mission is full of other experiences as well as the spiritual.
We
went and did something called street boarding on Friday, which is where
you get a dry erase board with a question like "what makes you happy"
or "what do you love about your family" and you go up to people and ask
them to write their answer. Then you get a good convo about the gospel
going and before you know it, return appointment! haha We did it with
our district which was a bad idea.... because our district is only 5
people! and 5 people in city centre doesn't attract a lot of
attention... also we didn't have a white board. All ws had was a family
history sign that we propped up. So after about 1hr 30min of very
minimum success we went and found some cheap small white boards (which
was all we could find) and tried that. A little bit better but basically
we were talking to people in city center for... 4hours with absolutely
no return appointments. *sigh* my first experience of street boarding
was no bueno, but we're determined to try it again, this time with more
people!
Our
friend Zoe is doing great! she is loving church and Ah... I wish I
could give you everything but just know that she is a strong person who
is the only baptized member in her family and friends and basically none
of them are supportive. But she knows it's true and she's awesome C:
Saturday
we sorted clothes for the refugees fleeing from Syria. I guess there
are a lot and they're all fleeing towards Croatia (where shawn is!) and
the round about areas. People are donating a lot of clothes and we are
sorting through them to help out the refugees. It was really fun.
Yeah
other then that not much happened. It has been a growing a learning
experience and I am determined to as our president says "become more
sanctified" as a person and as a missionary that I will be able to do
the things the spirit directs. Our president has talked to us about the
true order of prayer and how we need to have the spirit guide our words
and we need to pray for the spirit. I had a very spiritual experience
this past week. As we knelt down in our flat to pray before we head out I
felt a strong prompting to pray for the health of my companions.
(Sister Turner had just run out of migraine medicine and we discovered
that she has to go back to the Dos because her prescription is
discontinued...! Also Sister Skagen symptoms are increasing...) I prayed
that they would be able to over come their health problems and I nearly
started craying from the spirit. It was a powerful moment and I know
that the Holy Ghost can guide our prayers. Prayer works love you all!
