Bonny Scotland.

The Caledonian Canal on my morning run.


The bridge in the first Harry Potter movie that you see when they are on their way to Hogwarts.




My flights were long, but seeing this made them very worth it.





Fort William is beaufitul. When it isn't covered in fog, I can see Ben Nevis from the window behind the computer.

I have loved the time I've had here so far. Everyone has been very welcoming, and I'm excited to get to know the congregation better. Tonight I will be leading a small group for the high school age girls on Esther. There will be coffee and tea, and hopefully lots of laughs and discussion.

Thank you for your prayers!
