Sunday, February 25, 2018  Sunday fun day.  We didn’t get parent blocked for Nicole coming to church, she had to get a ride from her dad. She showed up and loved it.  Nothing really happened after church because the city is dead on Sundays.  When we got back though I gave myself my first haircut out of the mission and it was so hard because there’s no outlet in the bathroom so I have to go in blind. It turned out decent. 6/10 Monday, February 26, 2018 Ball out today!  Also known to some as P- day. Today I emailed almost everyone back. We went to the stake centre to play basketball for a few hours then sisters showed up and we played a game called “Doctor dodgeball“ ( look it up https://www.playworks.org/game-library/medic-dodgeball/  ) it was fun. Then we went to Argo‘s to buy a speaker so we can jam in the flat. I thought it would be like 1/3 smaller, like maybe 4“ x 5“, and it was like 24£, but it turns out it was like 12“ x 5“! It’s b...

Sunday, February 18, 2018  Sunday. We’re standing in the hallway, shaking hands, and half the ward told me what country I was in… I also gave a talk about choosing the right. So I related it to service and pretty much just gave my farewell talk. In Sunday School some drunk guy came in and gave the sister missionaries a bouquet of flowers, each, then said he couldn’t stay because he had work. Pretty nifty dude. Then we spent the rest of the day GQ’ing Went to sleep at like 9:30 PM. It was nice. 12,607 steps  Monday, February 19, 2018 I broke my nail during sport today so the next few days may be short because writing hurts. Today was P-Day! But we had a flat check at 1 PM so we had to wait until then before we could really do anything. So we just cleaned and napped. We bought groceries, but with our bikes, that only takes like 30 minutes… We passed the flat check so we headed to the church building for sport. Played football on the carpet, got the football stuck on the ...

Loving Belfast!

Sunday, February 11, 2018 First church meeting on the miss. It went great! Psych! I screwed up hard-core. They asked me to bear testimony during sacrament meeting . I did, but when I said it was great being in the Scotland Ireland mission they started laughing before I could finish “Ireland” I didn’t know why, so I turned around to ask the bishopric what I did, they told me I was in northern Ireland… I’m like “duh!” I played it off and I made everyone laugh, finished, and sat down. After the meeting brother Potts, from like five pews behind me, called me out and pointed at me saying “Elder Hutchison, you’re an idiot.” So, first Sunday success! After, we went to city center to GQ then went home. 23,992 steps 9/10 Monday, February 12, 2018  P-DAY Went to library, emailed. Went to stake center, played sport, and then went and got dinner at Burger King with Greenhalgh. Then went to Primark to buy some slacks and sweaters. GQ’d then went home and fell asleep  21306 ste...

Off to Belfast!

Tuesday, February 6, 2018  Today’s the first day out of the MTC. It took 4 to 5 hours to get to Edinburgh Scotland from Preston England. The Mission home is cool. I found out where I'll be serving and who my trainer will be! I'm going to Belfast in Northern Ireland!!! My trainer will be Elder Greenhalgh. I  haven’t met him yet but I met his older brother at the temple when I got  endowed. #Weird. Crazy. After we had dinner, we went out GQ’ing  (Proselyting) and I got a good story for my first day out. We were out  trying to find “The Meadows,“ a big park near University and Edinburgh.  We got lost, and tried, finding our way by asking people for directions.  We found one guy who said he would walk us there. Cool. This guy was  weird, he’s been to jail lots and was a little cuckoo. Every time we  walked past any female he’d ask them inappropriate questions trying to  see if he could get with any of them. (He didn’t) he was gros...
