Hey everyone!
Sounds like you had a fun time out in Utah. This week was good. It seemed to fly by. We've continued to meet with John and Gordon. They are both doing good and are making baby steps. Elder Hoaldridge is doing good as well. He is getting adjusted to the mission and we get a long just great. As we were finding this week we came across a guy named Justin. He has some issues with drinking and smoking but wants to know how God can help him in his life. We're meeting with him later this evening.
I'm glad that you guys had really nice weather last week. Over here it got pretty cold and it actually snowed which I've heard doesn't happen very much over here.
So I learned a new Scottish word this week from John. It's called "gittering". It means to be messing about or goofing off.
It's funny that you guys went to Angels Landing because John went over to Utah this time last year and he hiked Angels Landing with the family he was staying with and he told us this week about the chain that was at the top and how it seemed a little bit sketchy hiking to the top. He didn't go to the top either but it made me think about the iron rod as well. When we hold onto the iron rod we are a lot more safer and less likely to fall. However, when we just stand close to the rod we aren't entitled to the same safety.
I know this is kind of random but I'm not sure if they have all the lights for Christmas put up back home but they have a lot of lights in Scotland.
Here's a picture of Buchanan Street all lit up with lights.
Hey well I hope you guys are getting adjusted back to the cold alright. I love you guys! Hope you have a good rest of your week.
Love,
Elder Calley
