Heya everyone,
So this week was yet
again a slow week.
Kenny was busy with work and it's been hard to get in touch
with some of the other people we've been working with.
We met with Elizabeth and
she is struggling at the moment with lots of things with her family so her
heart isn't fully in the Gospel at the moment.
We did get a new investigator
named Allan Blackie though, who we got from the Dumfries Elders. He's a really
nice guy who has been through a lot and for a while he was investigating the
JW's.
He said if he could rate us and them by points they'd get 10 points and
we'd get 200 haha!
We also had the Worldwide Mission broadcast in Edinburgh which was very good.
We also had the Worldwide Mission broadcast in Edinburgh which was very good.
During the week we went to a town
called Peebles and we met this guy named Cliff who told us we could come back.
So Saturday we went back out to do some more finding and to try-by and his
partner let us in. We scheduled a time to meet with them to teach them and they
seem well prepared :)

Forgot to mention this chapping story.
So the first day in the week that we went to Peebles, we were chapping and we
knocked on this guy's door who's name was Stuart.
He
began to monologue about church's being collectives and that Jesus Christ was a
"9th-dimensional being". He went on to say that he is a
"5th-dimensional being" and that all other reformers were 5th and 7th
dimensional beings.
He said that most people are hovering on the 2nd or 3rd
dimension and all of us are trying to access the higher dimensions (except the
4th dimension because information from that one is full of lies and deception so
he was probably saying that one is churches.) So yea that's Stuart.....
Oh I also forgot to mention went to
another church called Hope church yesterday which was kinda similar to the
church I went to in Galway with Elder Shubin except no "gifts of
tongues" going on.:)
Well today is Burns Night so tonight
going to be having some haggis, neeps (turnips), and tatties (potatoes) for dinner.

NOTES from MOM:
BURNS NIGHT
A Burns supper is a celebration
of the life and poetry of the poet Robert Burns, author of many Scots poems.
The suppers are normally held on or near the poet's birthday, 25 January,
rarely also known as Robert Burns Day (or Robbie Burns Day or Rabbie
Burns Day) or more commonly Burns Night (Scots: Burns Nicht),
although they may in principle be held at any time of the year.

ROBERT BURNS
 |
| January 25, 1759 to July 26, 1796 |
Robert Burns died in Dumfries on 26th July, 1796, on the same day that
his wife gave birth to their ninth child, a son, Maxwell. He succumbed
to a form of rheumatic fever, which would have been easily treatable
today. (For information on Robert Burns see http://www.scotland.org/features/scotlands-bard/ )
For more information on Burns Night see:
PEEPLES
The town pre-dates the reign of King David I (1124-53). The monarchy made many visits in the 15th and 16th centuries - by King James III in particular. Peebles was relatively untouched by the conflict that characterised life in the Borders at that time.
