Sounds like you guys had an amazing trip in France. Thanks
for the pictures. So transfers happened this weekend. I am still in Cumbernauld
but Elder Bain swapped places with Elder Orchard in Livingston. Elder Orchard
is from St. Louis has been out for three months. He just moved from Livingston
to Cumbernauld this morning so I am sure that I will be able to get to know him
a bit better as the transfer moves on. ( I'll make sure to send a picture next
week)
Conference was awesome! We got John to come with us to see
the first three sessions in Glasgow. Elder Uchtdorf's talk in the Saturday
Morning Session was one of my favorites. We didn't get to see the Sunday Afternoon
Session yesterday due to the time difference and so I didn't know that Elder
Hales died until I read your emails. That is sad to hear.
Well, John is doing good. He continues to meet with us and
keeps thinking about baptism. He takes really good care of us here in
Cumbernauld. He had us over for dinner quite a few times this week. He said his
favorite speaker from conference was Elder David F. Evans who spoke a lot on
building a personal testimony and how we can through things such as scripture
study and prayer.
By the way, I'm not sure if I told you this but John used to
be a Free Mason and told us where the masonic lodge is in Cumbernauld so we
took pictures in front of it.
We also rode bikes to a loch last p-day in Airdrie with the
other Elders in our district.
Elder Baklan is on the left and Elder Bain is on the right
So the closest soccer stadium I know of is in Glasgow. I
think that is where the Celtics and Rangers play. Hot cereal is a thing here in
Scotland and Ireland but its called porridge over here and is not as popular as
back home I think.
I love you guys. Hope you have a good week of recuperation.
Love,
Elder Calley
