Is it a bird? Is it a Plane? no It's CLOUDS

This week the clouds have been absolutely amazing!!! Honestly I can't get over the clouds here, it's almost an obsession, almost. The weather changes quite rapidly here in Scotland and I love watching the clouds move across the sky. This past week I've been looking up towards the clouds! Thought I would share one of God's greatest gifts of the creation with you from across the world. 







In other news in the East Kilbride area I have developed a new skill.....Changing toliet seats! A while back Sister Oswald and I were trying to open the window to air out the bathroom. Now our bathroom is old and the window has some moldy bits. Due to leaking the window seal drooped, in order to open the window one sister had to hold up the the wood to make room for the window to swing opened. I took it upon myself push the wood up allowing Sister Oswald to push the window opened. We were successful! On my way down off the toliet the cover slides and we here a CRACK! I jumped away from the toliet turn around and find that I broke the toliet seat cover.UGH! We didn't bother fixing it so we left it. Three months later I was fed up with a broken seat cover. yeah I know, I should have fixed it ASAP.

Last week I fixed it. Here are the before and after shots. 




Hope you all have a great week!

What didn't happen to us this week

Honestly, this week has been very eventful and I want to share everything.

*Did you see a welcome mat?*



 This huge spider was spotted during planning and was quickly removed

 *TACOS!*




 I forgot how much I LOVE tacos! We made them for a less-active and they were delicious!

*Autumn*


 It was great to play in the leaves on our way to our next appointment. Autumn is the best season of the year!

*CANDY!!!*




Seriously, this is not a trick picture, it is in fact a reality. This is weeks of candy that we haven't eaten yet. We managed to give some to the other missionaries!

*Glasgow Museum*




Read first paragraph second line.... Even they knew we would be judged from the desire of our hearts! haha I couldn't help but giggle a wee bit

 Elvis- If he could speak i'm sure he would say "ye a cheeky besom!"


We were in a Trio with SISTER PARKS. She is great!

I found my Knight and Shining Armor! I had to travel half way across the world, but I found him!

*BAPTISM!!!*



We ended the great week with a BAPTISM!!!!!!
Bill Graham was found on 19 July 2012 at 8 O' clock pm. We taught him on a park bench, luckily the weather was nice to us and he was the first person Sister Hopkin EVER talked to, taught and invited to be baptized. Three months later he was!

I have one thing left to say. Don't be jealous. I'm sure you had a great week as well.


Take care, enjoy the leaves and buckle up for winter.

What do you do?

Monday is our p-day. It was sunny and bright most of the day. We spent most of the day inside finishing up some items of business. At 6 o'clock p-day ends and we make our way to our appointment. Five mintues out the door and the rain comes. The rain is honestly lashing down as we walked AGAINST the wind. Our appointment wasn't in which lead us to our last appointment of the night, Family Home Evening at our Granny Green's. We get there and the first thing she says is "Oh my goodness, take off your skirts." She runs upstairs and gives us clothes to wear while she dries our drenched clothing.

Nothing gets better than being soaked on a way to an appointment. 





-On monday I treated myself. 



 I have been contemplating glasses for a while and finally decided "yes, i'll get them for reading." Since I've used them I feel like I read faster! haha Oh our mind is marvelous. It makes me happy while i study!

- Girls just want to have fun! And we do!
