Well, Kalani was finally able to talk in church with a microphone today. (she has snuck into the chapel before and used the microphone, but this time it was okay)  Yes, the annual children’s primary program was today and she did a wonderful job.  She had 2 speaking parts that she quickly memorized.  And then she was asked to say another part since a little boy in her class wouldn’t do his part.  And to top it all off she and her “best friend in Scotland” sang a duet of “I’m a Child of God.”  _{(yes this is an old photo, but they were both dressed like this for the program…I forgot to take a photo before church)}

The primary (all kids ages 3-12) here in Scotland is very small…like 15 kids total.  I didn’t think Kalani was that important, but they postponed the program for a month since we were going to be in Sweden!  Before she was even born she was responsible for changing the date of a relief society (church women’s organization) meeting.  _{(since my mother-in-law was the president at the time and my father was also helping with the organization, it was approved to move the date of the meeting…all on the account of Kalani!)}

Matt’s sister Angela came back to visit us in Scotland.  She was with us for about 10 days and wasn’t able to visit the Iona Abbey when she was here a few months ago.  So, when she made her return trip that was where we were headed…the Isle of Mull and Iona Abbey. Here is a list of things we were able to see:

-Oban
-Isle of Mull
-Iona Abbey
-2 ferry boat rides
-Campbeltown
-Highland cows
-A couple of castles
-Fun memories

We had a lot of fun hanging out together and seeing more of this beautiful country.

Matt found Junibacken in Sweden…basically a Children’s museum that is somewhat like a Pippi Longstocking Museum.  They had characters dressed up as Pippi and pirates (the author of Pippi Longstocking is from Sweden) and put on a show all in Swedish for the kids.  Although we couldn’t understand what they were saying, Kalani laughed and enjoyed herself.

While waiting in line to board the train…about 25 people before us…Kalani goes missing.  Matt was sitting down reading a book while I was standing in line.  I saw Kalani head towards the front of the line and then I didn’t see her again.  I had Matt searching and he asked the lady in charge of checking the tickets if she saw Kalani go through.  She assured us that she would not let a little girl get on the train without her parents.  However, Kalani is pretty sneaky and I knew that she would have made a friend and just walked in with that family.

I did pretty well at keeping it together while I couldn’t find my precious little girl.  After figuring out that the train ended upstairs where the Pippi performance was held we found Kalani playing in the house and having a Fantastic time.  I was just so happy to see her again.  When we asked her what was her favorite part of the day she looked ashamed.  So, we knew that her most favorite part of the day was when she was on that train ride all by herself.  At least she is safe and back with us again.
