Our Laila has had a wonderful fun, family filled week with the Gilardis and Sharkeys in
Scotland. She went to the Gilardi’s
bakery for Family night along with the Sharkeys and they made their own
individual pizza. Laila got to go to
Millport Island and ride mopeds all over and picnic. Laila went to two movies, she had a spa day and got fingernails put on
by Christiana.
She played at a Skypark fun center with rock
climbing etc… and really the only disappointing thing was as they were leaving
to go to the Preston, England temple- a 4 hour ride, to do baptisms, they
received a call from the temple that it was closed. She has loved going to church for 2 weeks and
being with all of the saints, and attending a ward party and a baptism as well. She has met some lovely people and
missionaries. Laila will have a hard
time saying goodbye to these beautiful people.
We are proud of Laila for traveling by herself...this is a big deal. I was a bit nervous about her going alone, but she was full of confidence and promised me she would ask for help if she needed it, and call and check in often. All went well. IN Glasgow she was interrogated by customs officials making sure she wasn’t being “trafficked” or being used for slave labor. It was a bit crazy because she didn’t know the Gilardi’s address to tell them where she was staying. Angie Gilardi showed up and was interrogated as well, then finally Laila was allowed to leave.
Other than that... and the authorities taking away her IRN BRU that she was going to enjoy in Utah....she really had a great time.
