Chinese Food Anyone?

January 16, 2017

Hey Mom we have had a pretty busy week! There have been some weird changes in the ward as far as missionaries go! Our small but elite district of 4 just changed to a large and still elite district of 10. Sorry for the lack of emailing. We are getting our moves call in less than 2 weeks. I have a feeling I will be moving, but we will see. I dont have much time today to email. We have a fun week planned of dinner appointments and crucial lessons that we are looking forward to! Still teaching a lot of chinese people. University is back running today and that means more chinese people! 

I Love all of you! 

I will have a better email and pictures next week.

Good luck with becoming a teacher! Hopefully you never get a student like ME

Really did send the rain over, because we are not getting much these days. It is pretty nice to have it dry. 

This last week was pretty great we have some new Chinese people that we are adding to the squad. It is feeling like I might be moving soon. Moves call is on Sunday. I feel like I am always emailing that "Moves call is on Sunday". Time is flying. I have a few really good friends going home in a week.

    Things are starting off great for the mission for 2017. We have set some big goals this year and some great plans to reach them. Elder Hinckley and I are seeing some good things happening and are excited for the upcoming weeks. We have a couple baptisms planned for early February, so I hope to stay to see them.

     There is a big missionary broadcast coming up this week, and there is going to be some sort of announcement made. We will be coming together to watch it on Thursday. 

Our District is doing well, every team is excited for some people they are teaching. 

I love my mission, the people in Edinburgh, and my God.

We are being blessed constantly...

Love you all and have a great week!!

Oh the Weather Outside is Frightful...

Hello Everyone!
Less than a week till Christmas!? Where did December go? It sounds like we are going to be spending Christmas with a lot of our Chinese friends. Haha should be fun. For most of them it is their first Christmas as Christians. We are looking at a fun week this week. We have a big all-Scotland Christmas Conference where we will be having fun with all the missionaries. Also Elder Hinckley and I got invited to the mission home for Christmas Breakfast before Church. The Weather says it will be pretty cold and rainy this week, but you can't drown the Christmas spirit our mission is feeling!

What time would work the best for you and we can make it happen. We don't even really know are plans yet. If you send me a time then we have something to go off of.

Ani just so you know 16 doesnt mean you can date, you have to wait till I get home to OK a date.

Tessa Enjoy Christmas and cant wait to see you!!

Staying put for Christmas

This month is flying by! We are looking at an amazing month for the mission! Got moves call Yesterday and both of us are staying here for Christmas! We are excited to be staying. There were not a lot of moves around us so things should flow smoothly to next transfer. We dont have plans yet for Christmas but we should know this next week. 

   We are taking the opportunity to share the Christmas story with everyone. We have to push our baptism back to the 21st. But all is well, she is taking exams for some insane math class so we are moving it back a bit.

Our district is staying the same and the sisters should be having a baptism this Wednesday!

Things are moving forward as the days are getting shorter!

      Elder Swarts is going home tomorrow and he is here in Edinburgh so hopefully Ill see him!

Also Elder Flynn in going to be serving with my first child (Elder McDaniel) in Derry!

Hope you have a great week

Edinburgh YSA District

In Search of New Investigators!

We had a very great Thanksgiving.  I ended up getting a double thanksgiving. We went to a YSA thanksgiving dinner with another team of missionaries. That was pretty fun, but we killed the food so fast. Then on the Friday after we were invited to Thanksgiving at the mission home. It was incredible, would not of even known that it was in the UK. The full line up of thanksgiving food all the way to the yams. Not a bad thanksgiving at all.

   We are currently teaching a lot of frustrating people. Especially because exams are coming up for the students so they can meet less and less. All is well in Zion, because they also have no more lectures so some can meet frequently.

Looking forward to Christmas.

Love you all

Banana anyone?

Christmas is under way!

Hey it is getting pretty cold up here!

    It is dipping below freezing. WOOO! The Christmas market is up and the lights are bright. 

I am trying to learn Chinese to help with our investigators. Haha I know how to say baptism because that is all they need to know. Haha only playing. We are having a good time. We have been struggling with new investigators, because at this point we know everyone at the University's first, last, and dogs name.

    I am getting excited for Christmas and looking forward to thanksgiving as well. We are starting to know all the members. I do love this city!

I hope I do stay for Christmas.

Love you all

Scottish fried chicken anyone?

Training again!

Hello Mama 

    It is starting to cool down plenty. No snow but it could come soon! my new companion is Elder Hinckley from Clinton Utah. He is a tall guy (my first companion that is taller than me). He is really great! Another easy one to train. However, neither of us speak Chinese and we still teach all Chinese! It is fun to try to draw lessons, or use different analogies. We are excited to be serving together in Edinburgh! 

    Im looking forward to Thanksgiving, I hope that we can be with an American family for it. We have some really interesting people that we have met recently. We are hoping to find and teach some new people. 

    We are going to do some shopping today and getting some pizza with the other missionaries!

Elder Hinckley...Greenie!
