Mixed-ups in Montrose 4/27/15

So, Mix-ups this week! Sister Skagen repacked, madly, and we said goodbye to wonderful people, and we set off Wednesday morning for Dundee. Disembarked... waited... Kirkcaldy sisters arrived... Sister Skagen got on the train... sign language attempts exchanged, and the train pulled away from the platform. I had an hour and a half or so before I had to make the newly formed Dundee sisters walk me back to the train station where I met Sister Norin. She was coming off the train when I was like, no no no, get back on, this is our train... only to find out it didn't actually stop in Montrose. Got off at Arbroath, waited for the next train, and got on the train we were actually supposed to board in Dundee. haha :) oops. 

Settled in. 

We had a LOT of lessons this week that I shan't all recall, because they're all a blur. We had some really good moments with investigators and less-actives this week. Tracy read the Book of Mormon, Fred is quitting smoking, and Lesley is changing her question from "should I change?" to "is the Book of Mormon true?" 

Sister Norin is sweet, she reminds me of myself at 6 months out sometimes. She loves Montrose so far (as do I ;) ) We are making it a goal to receive a referral this transfer!! 

We saw a tender mercy yesterday yesterday when the members invited us over for dinner each night this week, which will help our grocery bill this week, since we had to send in a build-up of travel reimbursements from moves.

We were supposed to have two investigators at church yesterday--the hardest goal to achieve, but Tracy was called into work and Fred didn't show--not sure why. Sometimes I wonder how I handle how hard the work is out here, but then I think... the Lord's just waiting to show us miracles--He has before and He still will.

I studied about Spiritual gifts over the last couple of days, because I realized I really need to figure out what mine are, and what I need to develop to be a more sanctified, capable servant of the Lord. I was studying about the gift of wisdom, looking up the footnotes to D&C 46:17/18 in 1 Kings and James 1:5-6, and I realized how important it is to be wise, and how its something I need to develop and ask the Lord for, as Solomon did, because sometimes I feel as even the great king did: " I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in." I love to study the scriptures and see how even the rough starts: Moses, Enoch, Solomon, etc. had great finishes. I'll spare the rest of this tangent for now :)

I'm sorry I can't remember anything else right now! I left my old planner at home! 

I love you all! I miss you desperately! Keep the faith!

Love,

Sister Kirkpatrick
