Well, another week has flown by, again!
And it was a relatively good one! We had some really good times this week and
it culminated with moves call! So, I'll give a brief run down.
We started with P-Day, and it was pretty
chill. I am pretty sure I just slept for most of the day, and that is why I
don't really remember it. I’ve been sick
with a head and chest cold and ear infection.
But Tuesday was good. We had our
District Meeting, and then we went back to our area to do some finding.
Then on Wednesday, we went over to the
Gallacher's house and had dinner, and that was pretty good. We went on splits
with them after that and we had a good time. We did some AUF's and then called
it a night.
Thursday we were finding all day and
then we went with Chris Gallacher in the evening. He is a recently returned
missionary, and we invited one of his friends to be taught, but his friend
wasn't interested, so he just came out around the town with us in the evening.
We visited Colin with him. And we decided to read Alma 32 with Colin and then
Elder Milburn invites him to be baptized, and he just goes, "Alright, you
convinced me. I'll do it." So now he has got a baptismal date for January
8. But we are not sure he even remembers that he committed to be baptized,
because later on in the discussion he didn't really know. Colin is an
interesting character. But that was a good evening. Then we called it a day.
We were pretty much finding all day
Friday, and in the morning we were in Balloch. And we were in this park and I saw
a tree, and I thought to myself, "Mom would like a picture of me sitting
in that tree." So I decided I would climb said tree. So I start to climb
and realize that it is going to be a bit more difficult than I thought. So I
stop halfway up, and straddle the tree. When to my utter surprise, the crotch
on my pants straight out explodes. I was like, "Dangit." I had just
restitched the trousers like two days before that. So I readjust on the tree
and then my trousers rip again. So, I hope you all like the picture. It cost me
my favorite pair of trousers!! But I took a picture, and ended up with a rip
from halfway down my zipper to about 4 inches below my waistband in the back.
And I had to walk around like that for a bit and travel home like that. So that
was fun! But the rest of the weekend was good.
We had church on Sunday, and it was
really good. Chris reported his mission and the talks were on missionary work.
Sunday school and priesthood were really good as well. Then we had lasagna at
the Coupers, and then we went and visited another couple and had a really good
visit with them. Plus, they gave us a ton of biscuits (cookies). It was
awesome! They are really good.
While we were there, we got our moves
call. And we are both staying in Dumbarton for another transfer! So that will
be good to spend Christmas here. I think this next transfer will be a good one!
But anyway, that was my week! Things are good here! It was actually quite warm
this week, so that was awesome! Like, almost warmer than June this week! Which,
in Scotland, isn't saying much, but it's still saying something. But it's all
good here!
Ether 12:4
An Excerpt from the Book of Mickelsen
1 And behold, Elder Mickelsen did desire
to up his picture game for his mother, and upon seeing a tree in the
wilderness, did climb upon it, thinking it to be the perfect opportunity.
2 But in this he did greatly err, for
his trousers were indeed not fit for the task at hand. And upon realizing this
fact, he sat upon the tree and heard a great tear, yea, and exceeding great rip
3 And he did sorrow for the loss of his
trousers, but being fixed in his mind with a determined resolution to still up
his game, he did settle upon a regal pose, and had the picture taken.
4 And lo, when he did dismount from the
tree, he found that there was indeed an exceedingly great rip in his trousers,
and in this thing was his knowledge perfect. But the photo which had been
captured did exceed his expectations, and his joy was full nonetheless.
Love you all!!!
