Hiya Family!
We moved flats this week! Our new one
is quite nice: two stories. We have a hall that leads straight to the bathroom
*which has a pink toilet seat* and then a living room with leather couches, a
TV in the closet because clearly we can't use it, a nice kitchen, stairs, and a
study room and bedroom upstairs! I even have a double bed, because Sister
Jackson decided that the senior companion got the bigger bed. I haven't told
her yet that sometimes I can feel the boards in the bed. Ha. I guess I should
buy sheets. Really, though, it's super
nice and is in a really nice area! The Village is the original bit of East
Kilbride, so it's nice and vintagey (is that a word?) and just fun to be in. I
love it!
Funny Scottish word: Jamp. Past tense
of jump. That is most definitely not a word.
Cool part of the week: We were helping
Brother McCafferty-- with his shopping at Iceland (have I ever told you that
Brother McCafferty-- is basically all blind) and he was talking to the cashier
about our church and asked her if she'd like to "investigate our
church"! It was seriously amazing--I was so proud of him for being so
bold!
The highlight of the week was
definitely general conference! I absolutely loved it! I hope you were able to
see it as well. Conference is a bit different here. Most people still watch it
in their homes, so mostly it was just missionaries and random people that we
brought along at Julian Avenue, the Stake Center. We listened to the Relief
Society session on Saturday afternoon, the Saturday morning on Saturday
evening, the Priesthood session on early Sunday morning (I didn't go, clearly)
the Saturday afternoon on Sunday morning, and the Sunday Morning on Sunday
Evening. I don't know if that made sense, but it's kind of fun being all out of
order. And realizing that the session most people watch here is Saturday
afternoon, which was amazing because Elder Holland's talk was there!!!
Seriously, I loved his talk. Sometimes I wonder if the talks that I love are
always from the same people because they are the best or because I just expect
them to be good and they are. In any case, I loved Elder Uchtdorf, Elder
Holland, President Monson, and President Eyring. So good.
Well. Out of time. It was a good week
though. And the church is still true, so that's lucky.
Love you all!
Babe
