Spring is in the air!

It's starting to feel like Spring here in Scotland. The days are longer and warmer. Plus, we had four straight days of sunny weather! Hurray! Scotland is beautiful anytime, but especially when the sun comes out. 

We stayed busy visiting new members, teaching lessons with the missionaries, teaching the English Connect class, attending FHE and institute with the YSAs, visiting other wards in the stake, going to district council meetings, putting together a missionary flat, etc. It really is about ministering to the one. Yesterday, as I was trying to do my blog, we were asked to go visit an elderly man at his home. We went to see the "one." He had fallen the previous week and looked pretty banged up. He lives alone and has memory problems. Our hearts went out to this dear brother in the gospel. As we drove back to our flat, we were so filled with love for this dear man and gratitude that we have opportunities like this to minister to the one. Jesus Christ, "went about doing good." That is our purpose as well, to go about doing good and lift the heads that hang down. 

 

Visiting with Olar, our good friend.

Helping Sisters Joseph and Puafisi with calling their friends. 

Sister Puafisi leaves next week to go home to Tonga. 

She has served the people in Scotland and Ireland so well for the past 18 months. We will miss her!

Charles was baptized in the Airdrie Ward. He's here with Elders Shaw and Bergh. 

The Culzean Castle, the surrounding gardens and walkways were so beautiful!

Our second time seeing a rainbow here in Scotland!

Up close and personal to a Highland Coo! So cool!

The Glamis Castle is especially glamorous!

We saw some really pretty peacocks at the Scone Palace. 

The Scone Palace was very impressive. We didn't get to go inside as it was closed when we got there.

Such a cool lighthouse right in the middle of a golf course off the ocean.

Elder Gregory will do almost anything for the missionaries, even stand on his head!

Stuart was having a great time playing volleyball with the young single adults, until he tore his calf muscle! He's still in quite a bit of pain this week and limping around, but he is so amazing and keeps getting out to do missionary work!
