This week has been
absolutely mad!! So much has happened with so many blessings and lessons along
the way!
Apr. 11th
Not the most exciting
P-day I've had, but it was nice and busy so I have no complaints! The day
consisted of lots of goodbyes for Elder Hoppe, a wonderful lesson with Kevin,
and helping Elder Hoppe pack everything up into his two little suitcases!
Apr. 12th
The alarm sounded at 5AM and
the chaos of moves day had begun. It was a long and hectic drive down to
Glasgow in thick traffic praying that we would make Elder Hoppes bus on time,
It was a close call but our prayers were answered. The traffic began to break
up and we arrived safe and sound. I was sad to see Elder Hoppe go so soon,
along with many other friends begin their journey across the Irish Seas. I know
I will see them all again soon! I was able to spend a good chunk of time
exploring around Glasgow in between moving missionaries and luggage. My two
favorite places we got to visit was this huge tower with a fun spiral
staircase, and this massive, ancient cathedral! At 4:30PM I picked up
my new companion Elder Wilson along with some Elders that will be serving
in Greenock and traveled down to Pollock. I dropped the Greenock Elders
off there and we made our way back up to Paisley where we got to do
some finding and spend the night.

Wednesday was
another 5AM alarm, this time with a drive back to Pollock to drop of
my companion and to pick up an Elder Swartz to drive all the way to Edinburgh
for a New Leadership Training. The drive was long and painful, but the
conference was legit! I feel much more capable of this district leader stuff
now! On the way back to Pollock we had some weird error codes come up on the
car... seeing as we don't have a garage with our insurance anywhere near
Stranraer we were forced to spend another night in Pollock.
Apr. 14th
We made it way down to
a garage that could fix us up. We were there at 8am sharp so we could
get our car sorted and make our way back home. unfortunately nobody had the
part we needed changed...It took a couple hours for them to get a hold of it
and everything sorted, so we had some
solid finding time in Pollock. I was very grateful to get it all out of the way
and have a nice safe journey back home. After we got Elder Wilson’s bags to the
flat we were able to get out and do some real work! We had a couple great
lessons, one with Vicky who we hadn't seen in ages. She's doing well but it’s
going to be a longer process with her than we originally thought... I know
she'll get there someday though!
Apr. 15th
Today consisted of
coordination meeting, weekly planning, and a grand lesson with our Baptist
friend Arthur.
Apr. 16th
On Saturday we
taught Kevin Obedience, The Law of the Land, and Missionary Work! We also saw
our friends Martin and Campbell, and invited everyone and their dogs to church!
Our lesson with Campbell was my personal favorite; we got to teach him the Word
of Wisdom and committed him to be baptized on the 7th of
May!
Apr. 17th
Our friends Campbell,
Martine, and Zach all joined us at church today. We had a great service,
Elder Wilson and I got to do the Gospel Principles Lesson, Priesthood Lesson,
and Bless/ Pass the Sacrament! To top it all off we had a rockin' Munch and
Mingle! Later on we visited our new friends James and Amy, and then ended
the night with a wonderful dinner at the McLeans!
There ya have it
folks! Before I let you go I want to share my testimony of Gods Plan
of Happiness. All but 30 minutes ago we taught this lesson to a 16
year old boy who lost him mum a year ago, and is now living in a homeless
shelter. I know with all my heart that he will live with him mother again, in
eternal happiness. I know that through Gods great plan of redemption I will
spend all eternity with mine too.
Love, Elder Cluster
