We haven't seen the Sunday afternoon session yet, but we've seen all the other ones. I was falsely expecting some big change announcements, but instead I feel like I---as well as pretty much everybody---got a hardcore rebuking. Study! Pray! Have faith! more faith than you have right now! DO IT NOW! Time is running out! That was one of my favorite things, was that bit from President Nelson. We had our friend Janet there at the church with us, and we asked what she thought of it, and she just said that she has...a lot of questions. One of my favorite talks was Elder Anderson's.
There's a member that does a bunch of joint teaches, and we visit her a lot, but this week she's been in and out of the hospital a lot. So we got to visit her in the hospital, and help her out with her groceries and stuff. She's lovely.
I want to send you my Ireland tribute video.
Sometimes calling people at night I have the opportunity to offer up little tidbits of advice or share scriptures I know with them. Sometimes I have to really squeeze to get information out of them about their day! That's frustrating.
I ripped another pair of trousers. So sad. I guess I might look for some new cheap clothes. Except then those will be cheaply made and wear out fast. Same problem with shoes. I hate all the shoes I have right now, except for my trusted brown rockports, but even those are wearing out, and have been for over a year. Oh difficulties.
We will be eating dinner with the Blacks tonight. I don't know a lot about them. Then we will be going off to Dundee. Then in the morning tomorrow, we will go to Aberdeen for the Scotland North zone conference, where I will likely get my smart phone.
Everyone looks great. Very handsome bunch. I am looking forward to seeing you, but also striving to keep my promise to RUN across the finish line.
Love you lots!
