It was really great to read all your emails this week.  Even if they're short....haha ;)  Was it spring break this week?  How was it?  We had a really good week.  We had so much to do!  But the sun was shining and I don't think any of us stepped in dog poop this week. :)

Did you watch general conference???  I sure hope so cause it was so good!  We didn't get to watch Sunday afternoon because of the time difference, but I'm gonna look up those talks today after I email.  My favorites:

1. Did you hear Sister Dalton talk about SCOTLAND??!!  She talked about the 'act well thy part' sign that used to be in front of the mission home.  I was literally like 30 feet from the spot.  Ach, I love Scotland.  We were all so proud.

2. I liked how Stanley Ellis said something like, "We need to know the doctrine, hearken to our leaders, counsel with the Lord, and then govern ourselves."

3. Of course I loved Elder Anderson's talk about missionaries and the miracle of missionary work.  There are 65,000 full time missionaries, 20,000 more that have been called, and about 6,000 in the interview process.  That. is. so. great.  He talked about how the Lord is preparing more missionaries so He is definitely preparing more people to receive our message.  "Be a part of the miracle."  I like that.  It's not enough to have the gospel and live the gospel...we need to give the gospel to everyone.  They deserve it. (so family go find someone!)

4. And was it just me or did alot of the talks focus on marriage and family? hahaha My companions are making fun of me because that scares me a lot, so they think it was meant just for me.  I'll just stay over here in Scotland for a wee while. :)

5. Loved President Monson's talk.  Obedience is the price and it's the key to happiness. 

Anyway, I loved conference.  It's like Christmas for a missionary.  You know that feeling you get the night before Christmas and you can't sleep...I think that's how I felt the night before conference. haha.

Moving on!  Gary is doing well.  We don't get to see him very much because he works all the time!  (and he couldn't come to conference...)  But we did have a great lesson on the Gospel of Jesus Christ with him.  We couldn't find ANYONE to come teach him with us, so we thought we were going to have to cancel.  Then we had the idea that we could meet him at the church and have one of the office sisters come over with us (the mission home is right next to the church)  Even though they had so much to do Sister Price came and we got to meet with him.  And we feel like it needed to be at the church. (He's in the details)  We talked a lot about repentance and about the sacrament and the spirit was very strong.  He's becoming converted.  He even broke up with his girlfriend because she didn't want him to learn about this and join the church.  That's dedication.  

Cheryl had a really hard week this week.  But she made it to one session of conference!  Unfortunately, Ethan is a little stink :) and she had to sit out in the hall most of the time and she was feeling really sick.  We were on the bus after conference and she sent us a text that said, "Hi sisters!  Please don't give up on me.  I just haven't been feeling 100% lately, but I still know that Jesus Christ is the Saviour and Heavenly Father is there.  I'm going to read my scriptures and pray tonight...." and so on.  Ach.  Our hearts just broke.  We love her-even if she has a long way to go.  Don't we all?

Well, I better get going!  Oh yeah..we had moves call yesterday.  dun dun dun....we're staying!  I love Edinburgh.  Hopefully I stay until June.  Also, how scary is it that I only have 2 transfers left?  I'll tell you...it's scary.  Have a good week.  Love you,
