Hey guys!
This week seems to have gone on forever. It's been busy
trying to consolidate from two teams of missionaries to one. This week we have
been doing a lot of GQing and Chapping (Chapping is what we call door knocking
over here).
We've been able to continue to teach Claire this last week.
She has a date for this Saturday and she is really excited for it and also a
little bit nervous. We'll probably have the baptism down in Cork, the Ryans
offered to drive us down there if needed. The nearest baptismal font is in Cork
so that is why we are going there but there have been investigators who have
been baptized in the ocean in Tramore before from what I have heard. We still
have to teach her tithing and have a baptismal interview for her but we have
times to meet up with her to teach her. We've also been able to teach Michael
and get him with a date for July 1st. It was interesting because before he had
expressed that he was not interested in being baptized but we invited him and
he said yes, which was great. So we'll continue to meet up with him and help
him reach his goal.
So tomorrow we have to travel to Cork for district meeting
and have exchanges with the district leader, Elder Scholz. It's kinda weird to
have to travel on a bus for two hours instead of a twenty minute bus ride out
to the church here in Waterford.
There has been a lot to do here in Waterford now that there
is only Elder Plewe and I. Elder Plewe is really good. He works hard and is
very humble.
Flip! (Flip is like the universal missionary word that
everyone uses over here, its pretty much like the best two years with that
word). Well it has been great emailing you guys. I am emailing from the
internet cafe that we go to in Waterford because today is a bank holiday and
the library is closed. They seem to have a lot of bank holidays over here. I
will send pictures next week though. Talk to you guys next week,
Love,
Elder Calley
