Hey guys!
So transfers came and went and I am staying in Sligo. However, Elder Derry left and went to a suburb of Dublin but my new companion is Elder Fisk. He is from Springville, Utah and has only been out four weeks and is a really good missionary. So I am really looking forward to serving with him this next transfer.
On Thursday we did get to hear from President Nelson and Elder Holland. It was awesome! There was a missionary broadcast at two and a general membership broadcast at 7. President Nelson and Elder Holland and their wives talked about a lot of different things. They talked about how Jesus Christ directs His church through a prophet and how President Nelson has been called to be the current prophet. They talked about a few different attributes that President Nelson had, like how he listens more than he speaks, he has great love for his family and the people he serves, and he is also very humble and has a good sense of humour. Sister Nelson talked about how she has been a witness to President Nelson receiving revelation and how he truly has been called to the prophetic calling. President Nelson touched on how each of us can receive revelation and some steps that we can take. He told all of us missionaries that by the end of our missions, we should be tri-lingual. We should know our mission language, our companion's language, and the language of the Spirit. President Nelson also left the U.K. with a blessing promising that the people here would be able to delight in the scriptures as well as a few other things that I wrote down but can't recall.
So as far as the area goes, we weren't able to see Ovis this week but we met with Kaya and taught her and her friends bits and pieces of the Plan of Salvation and restoration. We have a few appointments set up with various people we met so hopefully they hold. As far as the weather goes, it was fourteen degrees celsius yesterday so I think that's 57 degrees Fahrenheit or so. So the weather is lovely over here. I still can't believe that you guys got snow and church was cancelled. The weather is so different over here.
I love you guys! Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Calley
