Jesus Christ is risen! He lives!

 

We are so grateful for this Easter Sunday and that Jesus Christ lives, loves us, knows us, and can bring us great peace and joy as we turn to Him. That is our purpose as missionaries to bring others to Jesus Christ and His gospel. We are so so blessed to have this knowledge and the opportunity to share His gospel to these wonderful people in Scotland. 

We are loving this weekend as well as we listen to General Conference. It is such a grand privilege to have a living prophet here on the earth, President Dallin H. Oaks. We are excited to hear his message today in General Conference. We are so grateful for prophets and apostles here on the earth to guide and direct us. We love all the talks that have been given at conference. They bring us closer to Jesus Christ and guide us in these latter days. 

We have been asked as missionaries to read the Book of Mormon. In our mission, President and Sister Randall have asked all the missionaries in the mission to spend more time this weekend reading the Book of Mormon. That has been a huge blessing for Elder Gregory and I as we have taken the time to feast upon the words of Jesus Christ in the Book of Mormon. We are so grateful that the Book of Mormon is on the earth to bring us closer to Jesus Christ. We testify as you read the Book of Mormon you will come to know the truthfulness of this book, that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God and that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is God's church here on the earth. What an incredible blessing that knowledge is!

We had zone conference here in Glasgow zone. It was so fun having President and Sister Randall come and give us such amazing messages. We love and appreciate them as well as all the missionaries in our zone.

and of course Stuart

We had all the missionaries over for dinner at our flat. We are sad to see some of them get transferred to other areas. We got hit hard this transfer with - Sisters Schmutz, Caldwell, Joseph, Puafisi, and Elders Liu and Barclay all leaving.

Five Guys has become one of our favorite places to eat and it's even better with the missionaries!

District Council meeting with Motherwell District. These meetings have really helped Stuart and I to get to know the missionaries better.

We love teaching our English Connect class!

Visiting the Kellie Castle

Visting the St. Andrew's Old Course was a pretty special experience! So much history here. 

Stuart by the Swilcan Bridge. Apparently, this bridge is a historic landmark at the golf course. 

Best day ever!! Stuart was able to baptize our friend Steven. We love him so much! Standing here with Sisters Caldwell and Larger. We love them so much too!

A last good-bye to Elder Liu who transferred to Edinburgh. We always hate saying good-bye!

The best part of our mission is all the amazing people we meet. 

Probably one of the rainiest days yet, but we didn't let the rain stop us and went to this farm.

We saw some cute little lambs and piglets. We even saw a few Highland cows. We have learned to not plan our day around the weather. Otherwise, we'd never leave our flat!

The little lambs were SO cute!
