Dang, this week has
definitely been one of the biggest of my mission so far! I'll squeeze in as
much in as I can, but just know that thing are happening here is Scotland!
Nov. 2
Elder Clawson and I
were sick and tired of having boring P-days so we went on and epic adventure
straight into the wilderness! It felt so good to get away for everything and
enjoy the fresh air up in the middle of nowhere! Later we had a pretty killer
lesson with Louise.
Nov. 3
Our last district
meeting before moves... Traveled down to Pollock in the morning and had a
really great district meeting. We had lunch all together at this all you can
get Indian/Chinese Place called Cosmos. That place is like heaven. It was hard
to part because we knew out district would probably get torn apart with moves,
and it did! But we'll talk about that later! We ended off our day with a lesson
with the Higgins
Nov. 4
Today was HUGE!
Brother Cain came down in the morning and we had a lesson with our former
investigator Angela. When we came by Angela’s place, she had this crazy old
lady over names Barbs.... She snuck up and kissed us on the cheek a couple
times and kept telling me how handsome I was.... It was pretty freaky, but the
lesson went well at least. The main event of the day was when we went down to
Dunoon and taught Gamma with Bro Cain. It couldn't have gone any better! It was
in that Baptist Cafe again but that didn't stop the spirit! She's totally going
to be baptized!! Dang I'm Stoked!
Nov. 5
GUY FOX NIGHT.
We started our day off in Port Glasgow doing some street contacting and found
three potential investigators! But that’s not all the good news, after that, we
went down to the Isle of Cumbre and had lunch with some members!! It’s pretty
cool when you get to hop a ferry to an island for a lunch appointment! From
there it was straight back to the flat. Pres. wanted us in my 5PM because
of Guy Fox Night (some weird holiday about someone trying to blow up
parliament) So we enjoyed the sounds of fireworks while we endured weekly
planning!
Back to Dunoon! We did
some try by's, finding, and had a coordination meeting with Bro Cain. Sister
Cain had just gotten back from a vacation to Turkey and shared some of her
genuine Turkish Delight with me!!! It was quite the experience. After
coordination our friend Billy who also lives over in Dunoon had us over for
dinner where we were fed a variety of home cooked curries! Curry is a pretty
big deal over here. But long story short, it was so hot I thought my face was
melting.
Nov. 7
Today was pretty nuts
as well, I mean, every day this week was nuts but we had fireworks this time!
Another pretty big miracle happened this morning when we happened to bump into
this potential investigator named Eddi we found just yesterday! One thing led
to another and we found ourselves giving him a tour of the branch building and
having a lesson with him!! Eddi is a Druid, I didn't even know that was still a
thing, but he's gonna be a Mormon soon! The Branch all got together and went
down to a big firework show. We got three investigators to come so we were able
to go too!! (Gemma, Louise, and her partner) Fireworks have always been my
favorite... I soaked up every last second of it!
Nov. 8 MOVES CALL
Sunday was just
insane. Church was awesome; we had both Eddi and Louise come. Our Gospel
Principles class was on fire!! After church was pretty rough, it’s hard to get
your mind off of the suspense of moves call! During a lesson we had with Greame
the Zone Leaders called and pranked us saying we were both staying together in
Greenock! It was pretty messed up, and we didn’t end up getting the actual call
for another two ours! We were at the Higgins when it happened....... Wait for
it........... Elder Clawson’s outta here and will be staying in Greenock
another five weeks with an English Elder named Elder Macfarlane! Elder Clawson
is going down South to Stranrear. The time Elder Clawson and I spent together
was real but I’m excited for what the Lord had in store for us throughout this
next transfer!
Well there ya have it
folks! Keep praying for us, we're gonna need it!! Love, Elder Cluster
PS. The sun goes down
at about 4:30 these days.... It’s Dark, Wet, and Cold. I like it :)
