The call is in....I'm staying in East Kilbride with Sister Oswald! Whew. I'm so grateful. Great things are going to happen in East Kilbride and it's going to be such a blessing to see the miracles.

I honestly don't know what to tell you about this week. It flew by faster than a blink. Many experiences of Trials and Joys all put into a week. However, there were three exciting things about this week.

1. Sister Oswald hit her 14 month mark!

2. In District Meeting we did role plays from the nursery book. I had the opportunity to be a 4yr old. Oh it was SO FUN to dangled my feet from the chair, be distracted and not complete my sentences. It was so hard to keep a straight face through it all. I was laughing to myself thinking "How are the Elder's going to handle this?" Oh the good times are rollin!

3. I hit my 6 month mark!!!! Crazy. 1/3 finished. I felt like I was in training just last month. I had a big reality check this week as I realized how much time has past and how much time I have left. once again, Crazy!

The one think I would like to share has touched my heart this week. Tuesday we were at a members home for dinner. She shared a line from the scriptures that she highlighted. The line was 'Wait upon the lord.'  I didn't really know what it meant, until later when I ran into an article about Trails. Later in the week I read the phrase again 'Wait upon the lord.' Now i'm thinking "ok Heavenly Father, what are you trying to tell me?"  As I pondered about what the phrase meant I figured it out. Yes it's going to seem obvious, but i'm going to say it anyway because we all need a reminder at times.

 Things are done on the Lord's time. We seek and are diligent and continue to be obedient. When we are obedient the lord shows us his plan. It's interesting because I feel like the Lord is always waited for me. Waited for me to figure things out when I need to. I often imagine the Lord putting his hand on his head saying "Sister Garlock, come on I know you can figure it out." All Along I thought the Lord was waited on me, but I am waited upon him. I am excersing my faith and relying on him to act when I'm being obedient to his will.

 I don't know if that makes sense, but if it does I hope it helped give you a perspective on how much Heavenly Father really does loves us and has a plan for us.  If it didn't make sense know this: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints is true, The Savior lives, Jesus is the Christ and through him we will have eternal life.
