Lucky Charms Box

Monday October 15, 2018

Well right when I thought life couldn't get any crazier I was again proved wrong. I'm back in the real world now which is strange in itself. And I'm in Scotland!! What???! Its actually so strange but very cool. Everything here is so different. I got off the plane and felt like I was in a Lucky Charms box haha. My first sight was green hills and a rainbow. It made me laugh a bit. 

Anyway I am in Glasgow which is a pretty big city! You should all look it up. Its the best!! It is like China here! So funny. Lots and lots of Chinese people which is great! My companion is Elder James. I have to say that I got the best trainer ever! He is very patient and very helpful with everything. Super funny as well which is nice. He reminds me of Ben Robinson. Almost exactly. 

Teaching lessons and finding people is so much fun! We were finding one day this week and it was really cold and pouring rain. I took the moment to just laugh. I realized how great this work is. I get to be finding and talking to people all day everyday about Christ and how amazing He is. He really is the way that we can make it through any and all trouble in life. So very thankful for my Savior.

 I'm pretty used to rejection now which is super funny. Not to say that I wasn't before but now its just a common thing. Its hard to understand people but I do my best. Most people are not super interested so I just have to try and be super persistent. 

Definitely learning a lot about me and about other people. Smiling goes such a long way. 

It's strange because it has been a really hard week. I am pretty out of my element right now. Not comfortable at all yet. But I know that this is for my own good. Hoping that I will be who I need to be for the people here. I already love them all so much and can feel of the Saviors love for them! That has been the biggest eye opener so far.

 I love you all so much and know that God has a plan for each of us. Trust in the Savior when things get rough and let Him build you up. 

Have a fantastic week:) Keeping you all in my prayers. I'll try to have more fun stories next week. Still getting used to everything but will have more time in the future!
