Hey guys!
This week has been nice and warm. The winter weather has broken and it has been nice and sunny for most of the week. We also moved the clocks an hour forward yesterday. A lot of people were late to church.
As far as our investigators go, Mark dropped us but we taught a lady named Success that is from Nigeria. She is Pentecostal but wanted to learn more about the Book of Mormon. We're hoping to meet with her some more this week.
We also have All-Ireland tomorrow and General Conference this weekend. I am so excited to be able to hear our Prophet and Apostles speak. It's interesting that it's on Easter too. I've had a few people that I've GQ'd this week ask me what time the Easter mass for the Mormon church is and I tell them it's at 5pm because we'll be listening to a Prophet and they'll usually wonder who the prophet is and it leads into a nice conversation. It's kind of weird watching the Sunday Morning session at 5pm but it's still fantastic! We'll be watching conference at the church.
Easter is a big event here in Ireland. All of the kids and college students get two weeks off for Easter break, they sell big chocolate eggs here for Easter, and most amazingly the pubs here close on Good Friday. The only other time they do that is on Christmas. I am so grateful that we get to celebrate the Saviour's Atonement and Resurrection. I am grateful for His sacrifice and love for each of us so that we can be able to live with our Heavenly Father again.
I hope you guys have a great Easter!
Love,
Elder Calley
