For the first time in
ages we actually had a pretty normal week! We've had loads of adventures and
surprises. We've also been able to set up a lot of new appointments for this
week, so it should be an extra exciting one!
June 6th
P-day was great this
week! Well P-day's are great every week, but this week Elder Wilson and I went
to the beach and collected lots of fancy seashells! The weather was warm and
sunny too, which was really weird! I felt like I was serving in the Hawaii
Mission! Some members also took us to check out an old castle later on. It
was soo cool! I couldn't help but to climb all the walls, even if
they were on the verge of falling over!

June 7th
We started Tuesday off
with a fantastic District Meeting in Ayr. My favorite part was when out new
Tongan missionary instructed on "We Act in Love" . Love is the
motivation, Amen Elder Fehoko! After DM we followed the ZL's back to
Irvine where we had a Blitz/Exchange. I spent the day with Elder Martin, our
day was mostly filled with finding but we treated ourselves to some Fish N'
Chips before bed. I love me some Fish N' Chips. In Irvine it is a four man flat
at the moment, you have the Zone Leaders, and then you have Elder Clawson (My
Trainer) and Elder Hoppe (My Crazy German Companion.) It was so much fun to get
to spend the night with them! Felt just like the good old days!
June 8th
First thing in the
morning was our long drive home back to Stranraer. When we arrived at our
humble flat we quickly changed into our Mormon helping hands shirts and rushed
over to an old man’s home with Brother Mclean and a bucket of Paint! Two hours
of painting fences... It was good fun! After we met up with Vicky and re-taught
the Restoration lesson. The spirit was even stronger the second time around!
June 9th
Thursday, today we
lost our car to get some repairs done. We walked for ages just to get
to coordination meeting! It felt like we didn’t have time to do
anything by the time we walked one place to the next. It’s doing to be brutal
on the 25th when my license expires! One highlight of the day was our dinner
appointment with the branch president, steak pie! I don't know was the
world doesn't eat more steak pies....
June 10th
We taught Dayna and
Vicky the Plan of Salvation today, we drew all the little pictures and
everything! I must say, it is by far my favorite lesson to teach! Later on we
taught Emma, Rachel, Dayna, and Vicky the Law of Chastity.... Probably my
least favorite lesson to teach. I never thought I'd find myself teaching four
teenage girls about the law of Chastity but it had to be done. To finish up the
night our friend Eric had us up for dinner, he had his Italian buddy
there who made us a fantastic authentic dish! Arno was the name, what
a guy!
June 11th
Saturday morning
the Branch President had us up to destroy his old shed!! Talking down
walls of an old damp shack is a good way to release stress! We also
got to load up the big chunks and take it to the dump. Something less exciting
was when we tried by our investigator Tina. Her husband answered the door and
left to get her, but instead came back with our Book of Mormon and Restoration
pamphlet and told us she didn't want to talk to us again. That was pretty lame.
However, the Lord lifted our spirits because when we tried by a member after
she gave us an amazing lamb sausage!
June 12th
Sundays make me happy.
Emma, Rachel, Tia, and Vicky all showed!! It was grand, and to make the deal
even sweeter there was a munch and mingle today! After church we did some
finding and visited Martin. Let’s just say Martin is going through a hard time.
But we fixed his printer so he seems a lot happier now!
Well, there's my week,
it sure went by fast! I'm so great full for all the people I was able
to spend my time with this week. They have been such a blessing to me and my
companion. I pray that this week we will find many new friends to share the
Gospel with!
Love you all!
Elder Cluster
PS A special shout out
to my Dad for Father’s Day this Sunday! You're the best of the best! Thanks for
leading your posterity in rightness and dwelling in so many tents for
me during all those Boy Scout Camps!
