Week 100: December means it's Christmas

Dec. 10, 2018
Hey guys!

This week was good. We're still teaching Mitch. He's reading the Book of Mormon and came with us to volleyball last Friday but wasn't able to make it to church. We're hoping to get him to come this week and will be seeing him again on Wednesday. Otherwise there has been a lot of finding this week.

So tomorrow is All-Ireland and so we're going up to Dublin today. It should be very good. 

Oh yeah a week from last Saturday was the branch Christmas party. It was good. Most of the branch showed up and even a suprise visit from Santa happened for all the primary kids. We were able to get a less active man from El Salvador named Rodolfo to come. He enjoyed it and was excited to meet everyone there.

Yesterday in church there was a sister who gave a talk about moving forward with faith but she related it to the Christmas story. Everyone in the story had to move forward with faith somehow. Whether it be Mary or Joseph who had to have faith that everything would be okay from what had been revealed to them, the sheperds who had to put their faith before their fears and follow the angel to see Jesus, or the wise men who only had a star to direct them and yet had the faith it would take them where they wanted to go. I know that as we put faith in God we will see miracles in our lives.

Well I hope you guys have a great week! 

Love,
Elder Calley


Yeah, we've had the introduction to Come, Follow, Me manual in Cork branch and last week we actually had 2 hour church with a potluck after. It was cool to see the difference.
