This
week has been something else! For the most part it’s been pretty boring to be
honest, but there have definitely been moments of excitement!
Jan 11th
Just another ordinary
P-Day... shopping, cleaning, email, etc.
Jan 12th
Today was a good full
day! First we traveled to district meeting early in the morning, learned lots
about missionary stuff! After DM we had lunch in the mission home with the Zone
Leaders, they made us a curry! After lunch Elder Blosil and I did lots of finding
in Edinburgh as I waited for a doctor's appointment. Sister Donaldson had set up an appointment for some problems I have been having with my foot. It was an awkward moment
when a nurse called me into a room and pulled me away from my companion, but it
was even worse when she took off my sock and started rubbing my feet! She
finally came to the conclusion that I had a bad case of tendonitis and was to
stay off of my feet for a minimum of 10 days!! In other words this week’s going
to go by very slowly.... Despite the bad news we still ended the night off
right with a lesson with both Natasha and Ann-Marie!
Jan 13th
In the morning I
limped over to the church where we made a poster for an activity we'll be doing
next month. Later we had dinner with the Jacks! She fed us lots of traditional
Scottish food; it must have been a four course meal because she just kept
bringing more and more out!

Today we had lunch
with my favorite mission mum Anne! And then it was down to Edinburgh. We met up with
the Leith Elders and taught their investigator from France in the coffee shop!
She had a super heavy accent, it was awesome! After the lesson I went on exchange
with Elder Stevens and went to the mission home where we had a meeting with
sister Donaldson and the Zone Leaders about what they were going to do with me
while I’ve got a dud foot. The conclusion was that I’d be spending a lot of
time folding papers with the senior sisters in the mission home.... Sister
Donaldson was amazing and drove us to a Boosts and got me a fancy insole for my
shoes! She also made dinner for us; it was a really cool experience having
dinner with just president and his wife! For dessert I was fed Christmas
pudding, now that's weird stuff! It was kinda like gooey fruit cake with
custard! I taught a lesson with the zone leaders to one of their investigators
then spent the night in the mission home.
Jan 15th
Friday was much
more fun than I expected! First I went mad folding baptismal calendars, but
later I got to go on a four hour drive to drop off the Unfreeze Elders with
Elder Stevens! That was one beautiful drive!! I was surprised with how much
snow there was going through the hills! I love road trips, and not many missionaries
get to go down to the borders of England! That’s not all the excitement though;
a member had us over for dinner tonight and gave me a can of A&W root
beer!!! I guess they had family up from the US and they shared their spoils!

Jan 16th
The Leith Elders came
up today to help us out with the work in Livingston (because I'm a dud) So Elder
Blosil and the others went out and did some work while I had a long
coordination meeting and hung out with our ward mission leader. Ended the night
with another killer lesson with Ann-Marie
Jan 17th
Church was nice;
Anne-Marie was there for sacrament meeting! Besides that Sunday was
super long for me. I sorted through the area book and wasted away with a member
while Elder Blosil did some try by's with the ward mission leader.
Well there ya have it
folks! This week is looking like a lot more time folding papers with the ladies,
so pray for me please...
Love, Elder Cluster
