Doctrine and Covenants 90:24 Search diligently, pray always, and be believing, and all things shall work together for your good, if ye walk uprightly and remember the covenant wherewith ye have covenanted one with another.

Tuesday: after p-day was over we went and taught Billy & Stuart and just shared with them our purpose! We also had scripture study class, which is always good, it's nice to see ward members take time to come out, and it seems they really enjoy it! 

Wednesday: We went and visited Nan & Morag a family in the ward who we help and Morag is less active so we are trying to work with her! We were going to walk Abby- but Abby hurt her paw!:( so no abby for a couple weeks till it heals! Then we visited Sister Crossbee and did service for her! We went and tried by some less-actives that the Bishop asked us to see as well!

Thursday: After Weekly Planning we went to the town and talked to lots of nice people! We had dinner with the Gilardis and we taught Chang-Ping! Well he english isn't very good, so we skyped the China town Elders and they taught him! It went really good, he has lots of questions but loves learning! He goes back to China in June....so we are trying to help him progress as much as possible! Then he'll go and study in the states for a year. 

Friday: We went and dropped by Sister Adamson but she wasn't in, so we went and taught Louise-we sat down and explained all of the Book of Mormon and the Restoration. After the lesson, she said she was excited to read it! We went to the Easter Missionary Choir-which was amazing! They travel and sing all over Scotland/Ireland. The spirit was soo strong! After the Langs took us to KFC, which was good because I was starving! The Langs are so kind, and I'm feel grateful to serve around such wonderful people! 

Saturday: We had to do paperwork, and update things at the church, and after that we figured we'd try by a less-active in an area of Ayr we have never travelled too, we thought about 45 minute bus journey...well after being on the bus for 1 1/2 hours, we had to get off and turn around to make it to Sister Cooks in time for dinner...a long day on the bus, but we did talk to lots of great people! After dinner with Sister Cook, we went and reviewed the restoration with Chang-Ping, we got Chinese words and did a visual, he was so grateful! And seemed to understand a lot better! 

Sunday: Church was good! Chang-Ping rode his bike despite the rain and was there! Stuart and Billy came! And it was the Easter service all centred on Jesus Christ! And after we had a munch and mingle! It was a great service! And in Priesthood/Relief Society they showed Because He lives! IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT DO IT!! mormon.org/Easter it's amazing! We had light lunch with the Deweys. Bishop Dewey and 2 of his sons are going to Salt Lake on Thursday-so I told them where to eat! haha, we visited with the Newalls! They are both very good! Then we travelled to Irvine to spend the night at the STL's. Sister Johnson is going to stay with us until Tuesday because her companion Sister Martin is in the Easter concert!

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

We dropped by and she was missing her husband Roy, he died 18months ago from cancer. We are really working with her to come back to church and rebuild her testimony! Then we went and dropped by Louise-she is very lovely, and hopefully we will be able to see her at church, when her health gets a little better! We had the Langs for dinner, which is always nice.

Then after that we had dinner, and then we got to teach Chang-Ping, he is from China, and doesn't speak very good English, so we had the Chinatown Elders skype us, and we are both working with him. He has such a great spirit and desire to learn more! 

Sunday: We taught Primary! We love Primary! After church we went to Bishop Deweys and ate Dinner. When we got back to Ayr, Sister Hobbs, felt very sick, so we went home and took a small nap, and updated the Area Book, and then did some Finding in Town. 

Monday: Yesterday was Zone Development, and I'm sooo sore! Lol, I feel like a whimp, but I was doing high knees...so it's mostly my fault. It was a nice day so we spend most of the day outside! It's so nice to just relax!

This week I have been studying Charity! I love Charity! Favorite Scripture this week! Moroni 7:46-48 

"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail- But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen"

Have an amazing week! Love you all!
