Hellooo me lassie's and
lads! Fit like? :) haha (i try...)
Can you even believe it's December???!!! Oh my goodness gracious, time is flying. I love, love, love this time of year. I don't think it's healthy for sister Shead and I, we love it so much. Everytime a christmas song comes on or we see a christmas tree we almost have a heart attack. haha. But it's also brilliant because most of the world is coming together to celebrate Christ. It's a good time to be a missionary (and a cold one, by the way!)
Have you had a good week? Hope everybody is okay. I can't beleive shannon and Ben are leaving on the trek the day I get home haha, I might as well just come with them. :)
Soooooooooo.....it's been super cold! Hopefully the boots come soon...my toes are continuously frozen. :) This week...we went to Edinburgh! We had smart starts (which is the training for the new missionaries) It was really good! We always learn so much from dear President and Sister Brown. I'll tell you a funny (not) story. I started getting a pretty bad head ache at the end of the day. We were driving home (thankfully it was Sister Shead's day), and we had to drop some elders off in their area. (luckily this all happened after they left haha) so my headache turned migrane was killing me, and it made my stomach feel horrible. Add that to my motion sickness and what do you get? haha Us stopping on the side of the dark, wet Scotland roads all the way home. haha It was fantastic...let's just say I'm never eating corned beef hash ever again. :) Sorry if it was too much information! Just thought I'd share!
Kyle and Rebecca...we had a word of wisdom lesson with them this week. And then we were worried they were avoiding us for the rest of the week, we couldn't get ahold of them. But luckily we stopped by last night, and they let us in. They're doing okay. rebecca's faith is growing. We really need to help them see the importance of all of this. Sidenote: they got a new kitty (tolouse like from aristocats). He was sitting on my lap during the prayer and started biting/clawing my hands hahaha You all know how I react to these situations. I had to hold it in during the prayer, but as soon as it was over I made sister Shead take him. :)
Cara! Our relief society president wanted us to find a less active couple, but she wasn't sure exactly where they lived, but gave us a street to chap to try and find them. We chapped it one day and NO ONE answered. So the next day we went back and chapped it again...and guess what? The first door we knocked on was a young Uni student, named Cara. She was like, "Oh what a coincidence, I was just looking online for stuff about religion and God. Come in." Umm...come again? :) So we were able to teach her about the restoration! She will be reading and praying about the Book of Mormon. We're very hopeful! Another Sidenote: She had these huge pet rats and they had just had babies. I suprised myself and sister Shead by asking if I could hold one. It was just so tiny and cute/really ugly because it had no fur and it's eyes and ears were glued shut. :)
Anyway, I hope you all have a brilliant week! I wish we could just have December all year round. It's magical. I was thinking of one of my favorite primary songs this morning, "He Sent His Son" and the end line is brill..."what does He ask? Live like His son." That's what I'm gonna focus on this Christmas is trying to be like Jesus Christ.
I love you all!!!
Cheerio,
