Haggis.....

Hey everybody!

How's it going?  Sounds like things are good back home.  I guess it's been pretty rainy, welcome to my world. haha.  I hope everything is so great back in the promised land. :) We've had a good week here, we're a little less lost than we were last week.  But not much. :)  We're still trying to get around to meet all the members and see less-actives.  And we're really trying to find new investigators!  We know they're out there (Alma 26:22)...the trick is finding them.  We are working with a girl named Danni, the sisters before were working with her.  She came to church yesterday!  woo!

She really liked it.  She likes everything she's been taught, and wants to be baptized! yay! But there are a lot of things standing in the way.  The answer: pray!  (I just wanted to rhyme-I'm a nerd).

Soooo....my driving.  sigh.:)  It is STRESSING me out learning to drive manual in the UK, where they drive insanely (is that a word?), on streets that are half the size of one of our lanes in America, and on the wrong side of the road. haha  But I'm improving a little bit.

I know this might be a weird/unimportant request, but will you pray that I'll be able to learn how to drive? :)  I think I need it.

Thanks a million.

Oh I have exciting news!  I had haggis this week!  I tried like a bite in the MTC, but that didn't really count.  This week we had dinner at a member's home and we had haggis.  Sister Shead already loved it (her dad is scottish!), and I was dead scared to try it.  They were all trying to freak me out haha, but I actually REALLY loved it!  It was so good.  I don't know how to make it, but we're gonna eat it when I get home. :)

Also, everybody here tells me an Elder Rindlisbacher served here a few years ago (so they all have practice saying my name, it's great)...his name is Kurt Rindlisbacher...do I/should I know him? :)

 Yesterday Sister Shead and I both spoke in church.  We spoke about commitments and what they mean to us as a missionary.  I read part of Alma 7, verses 14-16.  They just really hit me.  We need to show Heavenly Father that we're willing to follow him.  We have to prove it to Him.  We need to be COMMITTED to Him.  Another member in the ward spoke with us, and his talk was brilliant.  He spoke alot about missionary work (full time missionaries and members included!)  He said something like, "Are we committed?  It's our duty.  DON'T LEAVE IT UP TO SOMEONE ELSE.  It's up to you.  It's up to me."  I want to be more committed to Heavenly Father.  More committed to the Savior.  And so much more committed to their work.  This is the GREATEST work EVER.

 And I don't know why I sometimes forget that.  Let's not forget. :)
