| Elder McDaniel and Elder Mickelsen We just met this week during exchanges and are both from Idaho and live only 10 miles apart! |
I apologize for the fans of the earlier
system of writing the email, but I am just going to switch over to a highlight
reel type email. At least, for a little while.
Most of the time, I just state the
highlights and then the rest of the time would be finding and sleeping. So,
with that in mind, I will begin to enlighten your minds on the current state of
Coleraine, after another week with the Elders of Israel laboring within her
boundaries.
So, this week was actually really good.
It was moves call week, so there was something to look forward to at the end of
the week. It is a really fun time. I really enjoy it. So we taught Lauraine on
Monday evening, and then went over to FHE. Where we dominated the quiz! Woo! But
Lauraine's lesson was alright. She is a bit closed off and it takes a minute to
get her to open up, but we committed her to read the Book of Mormon, and she
agreed! So that was awesome!
We also had DM which was actually really
good! We had a really big focus on the Book of Mormon, so that was awesome! We
had everyone bear testimony of the Book of Mormon, and it ended up being a
really powerful meeting! Then we came back to Coleraine and taught Isobel, and
that lesson went really well actually. We just talked about the church and her
BoM reading and it was pretty solid! She is progressing well!
The next day we got flu shots, and that
was interesting. The flappin thing got me sick! But then that evening we went
over and saw Trevor, and read, that's right, the Book of Mormon with him. It
was really good! We are just finishing 2 Nephi, so that is solid!
Thursday we had BoM class, (see what I
mean by having a BoM week?) and that went well. It was just Alwyn, so we only
read one chapter, but it was still good. It was Mosiah 4. There are some really
powerful things in Mosiah 4. I would invite all of you to give it another read!
It is so good!
Afterwards, we went over and had some hot chocolate
with a guy named James, not the investigator James, but the James that just
takes us out occasionally. So that was awesome! Had some really baller hot
chocolate. It is starting to get cold here, so it's a bonus!
The next day, we had exchanges with the
Derry Elders, and I was with Elder McDaniel. He is from Menan! I can’t believe
he lives 10 miles from my house in Idaho! So that was really awesome to have
someone that knows the terminology and the area! We had a really good time!
Elder McDaniel just finished his first transfer, so he is brand new!
So we taught Isobel, and then we spent
the remainder of the day finding! It was awesome! Rained all day! Woo! Rainy
season is coming!
The next day we went and saw Katrina and
she committed to come to church! So that was some progress, and then we had
burgers with her. So that was awesome!
Sunday, we had church, and that was
solid! Katrina came! So that was awesome! She did really well! And then after
church we went finding and then we went and saw a lady named Isabel. And while
we were there, we got moves call!
I am going to Dumbarton in Scotland!!!
It is just outside Glasgow! So I am going to Scotland! It is really exciting! I
am really sad to leave Ireland behind, but I am excited to see some more bits
of the mission!
But after that, we went over and saw
Trevor and read some more of the Book of Mormon and said goodbye! I really have
loved this area! Definitely coming back soon!
But that was my week! It was pretty
awesome!! I am excited for my adventurous week this week! It should be really
good! Love you all!
-Till the Work is Done!
