My eyes were opened today!!

Today we had off due to the bank holiday on monday. So I am going over to the west coast to see some friends. I will be taking the train over to Glasgow and then down to Ayr.... As I was on the train today I forgot really what scotland was like. My eyes were once again opened up to the economic situation that many residents are in. There is quite a bit of poverty here and as I traveled between Edinburgh which really is the financial center for Scotland and is quite a wealthy area over to Glasgow the industrial center. I saw loads of run down buildings and flats. It was shocking to remember and see it all again. I couldn't help but think about my mission and what i saw as a missionary.
