Montrose!!

Where do I start?  I got my new companion...her name is Sister Shead.

She's from Chorley in England!  She lives right by the MTC. ha.

Another Brit!  She's already a really good missionary, so it'll be good.  So, we're settling into the new area.  It's soooo pretty.  It's a bunch of little towns spread apart from each other by country or beach.  Pretty great. The ward is really great, very missionary oriented.  I'm excited to get to know everybody, and find those souls who are searching. :) Our flat is super nice. Oh!  And we do have a car!  Don't worry I haven't killed anyone yet.  I actully haven't driven much yet.  Thank goodness the Lord sent me a companion from the UK who can drive manual. haha The other day I was trying to drive down this street and I stalled in front of a man's driveway as he was trying to back out, and I could not get going again.  I killed it at least 346 times. I'm praying I'll get better.  The Lord can do anything! :)  We're still a little lost and trying to figure everything out, but it's going well so far.

I picked Sister Shead up at the mission home on Wednesday.  I was the only sister training, so I knew who my companion was right off the bat, I didn't have to wait till later that night when they announced it.  phew.  We got to climb Pratt's hill.  Don't worry, it wasn't as horrible as last time.  :)  It was actually a beautiful day.  It was good to again go to Heavenly Father in prayer and makes some goals/promises on the top of such a pretty place.  I love Scotland.

I thought I'd give you a couple of updates from Greenock.  :)  Mark is doing good.  He needs time to figure things out, but maybe when they put missionaries back in Greenock he will be ready.  "I won't let you down, and  I won't let God down either...one day I'll become a saint."

-Mark :)

 

Brian the tattoo guy: the tattoo shop has been closed for a couple of weeks, so we haven't been able to talk to him about the Book of Mormon or anything, and we were sad cause we were leaving soon.  But on our last day we walked by and it was open again!  miracle!  He had been reading the Book of Mormon on his holiday and really likes it.  He said he was halfway to becoming a mormon. haha.  Again...when they put missionaries back in Greenock maybe he'll be ready.  He said he'd miss our happy smiles and cheery attitudes. haha.  I'm just glad to know we made a difference no matter how tiny.
