We've kept ourselves busy trying to update friends and family about our work and travels in Scotland. We thought the best way might be to publish a family blog. I'm a novice and will try my best to get this going with as much flair as I can muster. Please enjoy and leave your comments.

Just going into the Library on Kirk Loan returning a few books. Saturday morning is a busy time for us. On this day after our errands and cleaning we drove to Kelso.
Can you see Elder O'Neal standing in the middle of the road waiting for the cab to pass so he can come home with his white shirts? This is a shot of Corstorphine Road we are on this street several times a week to the cafe, to the cleaners, to the bank and to the library.

Some of our friends at the Archives, we are lucky to work with such great people. The center photo is Elder Jimmy Reid, from right here in Scotland, I'll have to find the shot of his wife Margaret. Top photo is Elder Allan Lee and at the bottom is Sister Cindy Lee, they recently moved from Anchorage, Alaska to Santa Clara, Utah. This is their third family history mission. First to Salt Lake City, then to Ukraine, now Edinburgh.
He calls himself an English Bloke, he's been in Scotland for the past six or seven years. Mike Mitchell is our supervisor, teacher, repairman, tech support, Bishop, friend!
JT at his camera station just getting ready to image one of the books of wills and testaments.
Meet Sister Iverson, she and her husband work with us in the archives this is one of the very big books we were recently imaging.
JT and I have been living in Edinburgh Scotland since September 2009 serving as document preservation missionaries for our church. We will be here until February or March 2011. We work at the National Archives of Scotland. We of course miss our kids and grandkids but are happy for the chance to be here.
