Hey guys!
This week was good. We're still teaching Alexandre and Eugene. We taught them the gospel of Jesus Christ and word of wisdom last Saturday and Alexandre and a friend of his Matthew came to church as well. I think Eugene had something pop up but we'll definitely see him on Saturday again. Elder Statie really enjoys teaching Alexandre and Eugene because they understand Spanish even though they primarily speak Portugese.
So the bikes are okay in Mullingar. Mine got a flat this week but we were able to repair it. We don't usually use them every day but we use them often enough to get to some of the more far out places on the outskirts of Mullingar. Sadly it isn't really possible for us to bike to other towns in our area like Athlone of Tullamore.
So also this week we're having an all-ireland conference again but Elder De Feo from the Area Presidency is coming to visit. So we've been asked to study chapter one of preach my gospel and how we can better work with members. So that's what I've been studying this week. It's been really interesting how no matter where we are in life or the problems we face there is some aspect of the gospel that can help us if we turn to Jesus Christ. I also was asked to give a talk in church yesterday on forgiveness. It was good but I mainly focused on how it can be easy for us to get angry with other people and their decisions but when our Heavenly Father forgives us He forgives and looks at our potential so if we are struggling to forgive someone we can look at their potential and not focus as much on their actions and decisions at the moment.
I hope you guys have a great week!
Love ya,
Elder Calley
But here's Elder Statie, Elder Kilgour and me on the ferry to Belfast.
By the way we have only had one district meeting with Dundalk. The original plan was to skype but I think it got changed to them coming here. We don't have district meeting until next week due to all-ireland.
