7 months? 7 months!! (Sept 25th 2017)

Okay, I think it's been like two days since I emailed home but whatever! Time is just flying by!

This week was really good despite the rubbish weather! I was seriously about to freeze this week and talking to the members and stuff about it they just laughed because this isn't even winter yet. Help me!!!! 

Kind of a funny story from this week. So Thursday evening we were doing a YSA activity and we all went to McDonald's and we had them get out their phones and each message one of their friends that they could invite to church on Sunday. It's was really good... no one came thou. BUT while we were sitting there and talking, this woman came up to our table and asked us what state we were from. Her 14-year-old daughter about flipped out when Sister Wamsley said Utah because this little girl is DYING to go to BYU and stuff. Not a member of the church or anything but is obsessed with Studio C. So that was really good. We asked them if they wanted to meet with us to learn more about our church and they said no sadly but she'll get taught the gospel at BYU so it's fine haha.

On Sunday it was really good because sacrament meeting started and none of the investigators that we had planned on coming, had shown up so I was kind of bummed. But like 5 minutes in, Sophie came in and sat down next to us and afterward we were talking with her and she apologized that she was late because she was at play practice. But she was saying that she left really early because she wanted to come to church!!! She's so good! We met with her and her parents that night and they said they don't want her to get baptized until she's 18 (she turns 13 in December). Sophie wasn't too happy about that, but we have to respect her parent's wishes! They did say though that she is more than welcome to keep coming out to things though if she wants. Keep her in your prayers though! 

Today for p-day we went to this place called Cregneash and the Sound. Cregneash is just this really old village that has some AMAZING scones (they pronounce is sc-ON-s). And I don't really know why it is called the Sound but its just the very southern tip in the Isle and it was really pretty! It was super foggy so we couldn't see too much but it was nice! 

Oh yeah and this weekend we find out about transfers so I will let you all know what is happening next week! Wish us luck!

Hope you all have a lovely week! Thank you so much for everything!!
