Blog of Elder Hamish Macpherson

Just another WordPress weblog

Hamish is home!

Thank you everyone for following me on my two-year missionary adventure in Sacramento California. This site will remain online forever; as a reminder of the days I spent in the service of God. A reminder of the sad, happy, wet, dry, sweet, painful and the outright crazy. But most of all, a reminder of the love God has for his children. If you're curious what I'm up to these days, please visit my personal site.

Till we meet again,

Sixty-five

December 1st, 2008

Sixty-five. That’s how many days I have until I enter the MTC. And I really can’t believe it’s coming so soon.

This will also be my last Christmas here in Montreal for another two years. I tell myself I won’t miss it, but a part of me thinks I will. (Well at the very least, I won’t miss the cold!)

This blog will be maintained by me for now, and once I leave, by my parents. I’ll talk about the things I’m doing to prepare, share whatever information I can, and try by best to entertain, so I hope it will be interesting to some. No promises, but I’ll try my best, mmkay?

So on that note, let me tell you about what I’m doing this month. I’ve decided to repeat the same reading I did in August of this year, with a few changes. When I did it then, it was a great experience, and I know it can turn out likewise this month.

This month, the plan is to read the following (links are to online versions of the texts):

It’s 2310 pages total, and 77 pages per day. That’s a lot, no doubt, but it’s notably less than the 104 pages I had in August, so it’s perfectly doable.

Now you’ll have to excuse me, I’ve got some reading to do! Check out the links on the home page to find out more about me and my mission, if you’re interested.
