What a week! From
Move's call to getting a nice big carvery at the Pub, it was action packed every
day, and lots memories were made!
Jan 25th
Did the normal P-day stuff, and then
met up with Pres. Henderson from the stake. What a cool guy! He took us out to
this pub to get a carvery. It was delish! I don't know how I’m going to live
without carveries back home! After getting the meat sweats from an over dose on
gammon, we drove around visiting lots of Less Actives!
Jan 26th
In the morning we took the train
down to the mission home for our last district meeting together, it was a good
one! Afterwards I did more paperwork in the mission office while the rest went
down and did some work in Livingston. A few hours later they picked me up and
took me to Coordination meeting. Then I ate some food and slept like a baby.
Jan 27th
Back to the mission home! This time
they had every zone leader in the mission over in a big MLC conference! Even
the ones over in Ireland flew over. And to my surprise my best buddy Kat was
there from Paisley! She was the best helper, mostly in helping me stay
entertained and not going crazy! It was fun having lunch with all the crew in
the mission home. It was another day of awesome food and then the Leith Elders
picked me up and drove us down to Five Guys for dinner! Spent the night in
Leith.
Jan 28th
Today was one heck of an adventure!
I was dropped back off to the mission home in the morning, expecting to do the
same old paper work junk, but there was a change of plans!! Elder and Sister
Broughten took me with them to a cookie factory to pick up some of the missions
favorite biscuits! I finally got to see where all the magic happens! They took
me back, and not even 20 minutes later President Donaldson comes in,
and invites me to go on a drive down to Glasgow and back (On Official Business
of course) So there it was, just President, Sister Donaldson, and I on a road
trip in to Glasgow. Being in a mission that is so spread out, you’re lucky to
get a couple of minutes with president every couple of months, and here I was
getting some serious bonding time! What a blessing. I finished the night off
right with a game of Uno in Leith.
Jan 29th
We traveled back to Livingston with
the Leith Elders in the morning, and had lunch with my mission mum Anne! Pizza
and Iron Bru. It was on point. As far as the rest of the day was concerned, we
did a lot of work in the area book and tried to survive the crazy weather!
Jan 30th
I got to spend a bit more time on my
feet today! It still hurts pretty badly, but its lots better than it was a week
ago! We helped some members move into Bathgate, there was this funny little kid
there that kept making Star Wars references with me! The Boyles had us over tonight for
Chinese, I got some pineapple chicken stuff! The Chinese is nothing like back
home, but was pretty good considering. As I'm writing this week’s email I'm
starting to understand where all this weight came from...
Jan 31st
The day of moves call... Church was
a lot of fun, unfortunately we didn't have any investigators there, but our
spirits were lifted when we got to teach the primary class! Kids are crazy!
After church President Henderson offered to give us a ride home, but he ended
up taking us back to his home for a Mexican lunch! It was the first time I’ve
had Mexican in over 7 Months! Not only that but he had some homemade root beer
for us!! As if the excitement wasn't already too much to handle, then came the
call. "We are White Washing Livingston" What the flip!? I just got
here! Elder Blosil is going to the Republic of Ireland, and I am headed back to
the West Coast, a place along the borders of England called Stranrear. I'm not
sure how I feel about it yet, but I trust that it is where the Lord needs me.
And on the bright side, we have a car!
And between it all we've been
getting beaten and torn apart from the tail end of the storm that hit New York.
It’s funny how they even blame the weather on America over here!! Well, we
better head out, its sounds like the Library is about to fall on our heads. Or
ours “heeds” as the Scottish would say!
I'll be sending out my new address next
week, Love you all!
Love, Elder Cluster
