THANKSGIVING IN SCOTLAND

The bishop of our ward and his wife hosted a Thanksgiving dinner for the Young Adults and the missionaries. Most of the missionaries are American and we have several Americans who are here as students, so it was especially nice for them. However, even those from Scotland or other countries wanted to come, and they really enjoyed the dinner and being together. I reached out to some of the girls from the U.S. to help with food, and they really came through! We made some of it too, and the bishopric took care of the rest. We expected about 30 to be there, and we actually had about 35 in total. 

This is Ramik. He has been coming to church and YA activities for a couple of months now, and is getting baptized on December 6. He is from India, and he has his family there interested enough in the church that they are having scripture study groups with their friends- learning from the Book of Mormon. He brought a friend to church with him today who also wants to be taught by the missionaries.

We rode the bus to Dalkeith Friday and walked along this river path. It was very cold, but beautiful. 

We had another Linger Longer after church today. The missionaries and the YA's love it, even though we just serve pancakes every time!

We woke up to snow this morning! Everything was white and beautiful.
