Hey guys!
So this week was Elder Udy's last week and he went to the
mission home last Saturday to say good bye to the mission president and flies
home this morning for Texas. I am staying with some elders in Glasgow until I
pick up my companion Elder Bain later today. I think he is from Utah but I am
not entirely sure. He's a good missionary though and I'm sure we'll get along
great.
This week has been very interesting since Elder Udy went
home on Saturday. Because he went home on Saturday, I was in Glasgow for church
on Sunday which was neat. So I wasn't at church in Cumbernauld but John still
came to church. He just came back from a trip to Hungary so we didn't have an opportunity
to meet with him this past week but we should be able to this week. The rest of
this week has been filled with some more finding and packing. Elder Udy had a
lot of stuff to take home so it took some time to pack it all. We also met with
Gordon again this week. He still has a few doubts about the church but we're
trying to continue to get him to come to church.
So the Scottish word of the week is neds. Ned stands for
Non-Educated-Delinquents. It is mainly to describe teenagers who don't know any
better. I know it can sound kind of mean but it is a common phrase over here.
I know you had a few
questions for me as well so I'll try to answer them. There isn't really a car
that I see the most often. Or maybe I just haven't picked up on it yet. Most of
the missionaries that drive here in Scotland drive a car called a mereva. I
forget which company makes it but it is either an English or French company. A
typical work day for a Scotsman would be from 9-5 or maybe till six. Nothing
over here is open 24 hours. Everything is generally closed by six.
So before I came to the library to email because it opens at
10 we went to see a cathedral. Here's a few pictures.
It was great to read your emails this morning. Thank you for
your testimonies!
Love,
Elder Calley
