Alright, now onto the fun bits. I've had a jam packed last few days, that is for sure. I met with Rob Smith and his wife Meg, a wonderful couple. Rob helped to pioneer the ministry in Europe and I had a great time chatting with him and having my socks blown off by the things he had to share with me. I will not go into many details since I am still sort of processing the most of it. What I will tell you though, he told me exactly what I wanted and what I needed to hear, and he read me like a book. I left our time together feeling equipped with the tools to move deeper into my walk with God, and affirmed that I was moving in the right direction.

I have fallen for Glasgow. I love the city and I love the people I've gotten to meet! It is a very interesting place. A friend that I have made, Anna, took me to Stirling to see the Wallace Monument as well as the Stirling Castle! Both sites were amazing and I got to see the sword of William Wallace, which is almost taller than I am!

I am currently in St. Andrews, no images yet, as I've left my camera cable in Glasgow and will not get it back for at least a week. I am staying with a great family, the Stirlings, who've helped to get the ministry in Edinburgh and St. Andrews up and running! Jenny and Mark are a wonderful couple, with a beautiful home and great children! I've gotten to go for a walk with their son Greggor, a spirited young lad, who showed me some of the places he likes to go in the woods near his home. His enthusiasm for adventure reminds me a lot of myself at his age, playing in the woods with my younger brother, making forts and traps and pretending we were Robin Hood and his merry men. On Sunday, tomorrow, I will have a chance to meet more people and things will be a tad bit more sociable as well. I will continue to keep you all updated on everything!
