Each Wednesday we have Institute classes, some refreshments and sometimes an activity which we as the YSA leaders plan. Last week we had a young brother and sister, the McLaughlins, teach the group some traditional old time dances. They were great teachers! Most of the native Scots knew the dances, and the students from other countries were good sports and joined in. Everyone had fun and stayed to dance. It looked so fun, something that you would see in movies, such as My Life So Far which took place in Scotland at a castle. One of the Institute teachers, said that they did these dances at her wedding.
On December 8 we drove with another senior missionary couple to Pitlochery to see the play, White Christmas. Several senior couples and our mission president and his wife attended. We got there early to walk around the town which was a very interesting old town , had lunch, then attended the play, which we enjoyed .On our drive, we could see Stirling Castle on a hill. I would really like to go and see that castle, there are Christmas events going on there now.
On Christmas Eve we will be singing in a missionary choir at a big shopping mall in downtown Glasgow. I'm not a singer, but I can do my best and hopefully not scare anyone away with my sour notes! We have gone out with the young elders to help them teach, it's been fun and rewarding. Next week we start going out to inspect the young missionary's flats, that will be interesting. It will be nice to get out to see some different areas. We have many investigators and people joining the church who are from China.
Yesterday we drove out to a town Beardsdon, I think, nearby to walk, it is an area of nice old homes and pretty gardens. I can see that Scotland will be pretty in the Spring and summer, there are so many trees and plants that haven't frozen. Sister Whitney
