Hey guys!
This week was good. We haven't been able to visit John because he is still on holiday but he should be coming back this Saturday. However, we got a chance to meet with Gordon and he is doing better. He came with us to church yesterday. Speaking of yesterday, Remembrance Sunday is a Sunday where they celebrate all of the veterans who have died and fought in the wars. Remembrance Day is on November 11 because that is when WWI ended. In Cumbernauld they didn't celebrate it this week but they will next Sunday. So church will start a bit later so everyone can attend a Remembrance day gathering where they place wreaths and have a moment of silence. Also yesterday was Guy Fawkes Day. You guys probably don't know who Guy Fawkes is but he is was a guy who tried to blow up parliament and so everyone celebrates him not blowing up parliament by shooting off fireworks and lighting bonfires.
We did a lot of finding the rest of the week. Last Monday while we were chapping we knocked on this house and this lady opens it up and says, "It isn't Halloween yet! What do you want?". Elder Orchard and I told her we are missionaries but she wasn't interested. We thought that that was a pretty funny way to answer the door. We also saw a group of people building a bonfire for Guy Fawkes yesterday. Apparently they get pretty big.
Well sorry this email is short but there hasn't really been anything new this week. Cumbernauld is great and I am grateful to be able to serve the people here. I know the gospel brings happiness into our lives and I am grateful that I have an opportunity to share more about my Savior and His gospel with the people of Cumbernauld.
Love,
Elder Calley
