Having served a mission in Scotland, and being on the Isle of Lewis during lambing season, I grew to love sheep. They had the right of way on the roads and it wasn’t uncommon to have to wait for a little lamb to finish eating before Mom and baby would move out of the way. I remember eating at a member’s home one Sunday after church. We were having a nice roast, which I assumed was pork, when I announced, “After serving on this island, I will never be able to eat lamb again.” An uncomfortable silence followed before our host announced that the roast was, you guessed it, lamb. Oops!
Enjoy the following video of some pretty amazing sheep — or maybe it’s the sheep dogs that are talented and several sheepherders with an awful lot of time on their hands.

Love these stories! I am the best at “insert foot” after a comment I have made. Also, I found the ring and necklace you sent me from your mission & thought your daughter(s) might like to have them…email me your address & I will drop them in the mail.
