Baptism Birthday

The man in the pilgrims hat (it's all we had) is Brother McAfferty. He was baptized on the 17 April 2011. He has
such a love for the gospel and has one of the best sense of humors! He can make anyone laugh! Sister Oswald and I always leave our lessons with him with a HUGE smile and lifted spirits. He is paritially blind, but doesn't let that stop him from keeping the commandments.

Brother McAfferty is great because:


 1. He keeps the gospel simple: We asked him questions such as "How does it feel to be a member for a year?" his response "WONDERFUL" in a high pitched tone!  or we ask him "Why is this important?" he responds
"Because it's a commandment!" Oh it's lovely teaching him the gospel

 2. He loves music. We made it a tradition to sing musicals on our way home from a members home!

 3. He can take a joke.

 4. He is ALWAYS happy

 5. His favorite thing to eat is a meat feast pizza and iron brew!

It's so wonderful to see a child of God keeping committments for an entire year! Brother McAfferty is a great example of being dilligent to the Savior and reaching out to help others.

Have a great day!

RANDOM

 I don't have any specific things to tell you about this past week another than I felt like I've experienced EVERYTHING.

 I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Since I was unable to upload pictures last week here is a quick recap. This is Eilidh (A-lee). She is Seda's daughter (or investigator). We visited her on Easter Sunday and showed off her Chocolate Easter Egg. Here are more pictures with Eilidh and Seda. We have SO MUCH FUN teaching Seda and Eilidh. Eilidh always asks us about Jesus and always gets excited when she sees a picture of Jesus! So precious. One on my favorite things is watching Seda's face when Eilidh is grasping concepts about Jesus Christ and participating in prayers and lessons.

 The Sister's Easter! 

One of the sunsets we were able to witness on our way to an appointment.

A random beer bottle I found on the pavement one morning. Do you think it's suppose to say BUCKfast or BREAKfast? haha  

Mission is a blast! I hope my blogs are making sense. So much happens on a mission, sometimes it's hard to keep track of things. Hope everyone is doing well!

Hoover Grass

Hello Everyone,

         Sorry about last week, no time left on the computer. However, this week was exciteding. We finally helped a member in the ward do some Saturday chores.


         I don't know why but whenever we offer to help anyone clean their home or serve them in any way they say,"oh no we're fine, you have better things to do with your time." Little do they know that we would LOVE to help them because without members missionaries have a harder time doing missionary work. 


Which would you rather do: clean someone's house for an hour, or tract for two hours?


         Sister Green was kind enough to allow us over. Her knee is in need of rest and we were in need of service. Something special about Sister Green's home is her front garden. Her grass is fake, in order to clean it up a hover is involved. It's every missionary's desire to hover her front garden. That's exactly what we did! 

         Yes, I know. I look like a 50's mom! I feel like I could put up  the picture as an AD that says "Ways to enjoy being a housewife!" haha

          Another exciting event happened. Sister Oswald and I did some calculations and discovered it was our BIG 50!   Fifty days of being companions! We celebrated with Chocolate Chunky cookies. (insert pic
6).

           Another Great Week in East Kilbride and more exciting adventures are waiting to be experienced!  Hope everyone is enjoying Spring. We are finally seeing some color in Scotland and It's exciting to see God's creation unfolding.
