Week 65

My week was good. we are teaching some friends right now who are very cool. We went into louise's home planning on talking to her about baptizing her daughters and i was so nervous. I love this family so much, like so much. so i was nervous to talk to louise about the option of helping her daughters prepare for baptism even though we are all so close. I want them to have these blessings in their life and to be raised in the gospel. Well i talked about it with louise and we kind of got the brakes put on us, it didnt go as planned. I was so sad. it's so hard when you really love these people and you know what can help them. i'm actually really sad about it.

We taught Grenville (who wanted to get baptised) about the word of wisdom and he got pretty upset about the whole thing. he basically said he was never going to give up tea and coffee and then proceeded to get up on his leg that is healing and hobble over to the table where his tea was and drink it in front of us. I told him to knock it off and sit down. So those were our most solid people, so it was really sad.

We met this really cool dude named steve. he lives on the orkney islands for 8 months out of the year to grow vegtables. he is 25 and literally the coolest person ever. He lives so out of the world and just has the coolest perspective on life. So spiritual.

Conference was amazing! i loved how it talked about our personal conversion. And how blunt they are. We really need it. I learned a lot and need to change a lot :) our friend sarah, alec, and ahmed came to watch as well! Sarah loved it and it answered so many of questions for her. She had a lot of questions after and we talked a lot about it and she opened up a lot. Then she went home and watched the sunday afternoon session by herself, which is 9pm here. I was making phone calls that night, but she live texted me as she was watching it and all of her questions were answered again. So cool! now its just up to her as to what she will do.

Me and sister belliston flew to dublin last week for zone conference and it was great being able to see everyone and to help in the ways we could. Tonight we are driving to aberdeen for the next zone conference.

Hey quick advice, if you are ever doubting or stuggling with the gospel, which is totally okay, just hold on to the things you do know. No matter how small, just hold on. even if it looks dark in the future, it will turn to light. Just like they talked about in general conference. I love you guys.

Peace out
