Hey guys!
So I showed Elder Statie the picture of the car with snow on it and he just said it looked like paradise. He just can't wait for the snow here and I keep telling him he won't see any snow.
This week was not bad. We're still seeing Alexandre every now and then. We're hoping he can receive the Priesthood this week or next. We weren't able to see Dewei this week but he said he would most likely be free this Saturday.
This week I've been studying Ether 12:27 and 3 Nephi 5-8. It's been interesting since in Ether 12:27 it says that if we have faith and humble ourselves then we can receive strength and help from Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. It made me think that one thing that could be stopping us from having faith and humility or in other words turning to God is pride. In reading 3 Nephi 5-8 the Nephites gained a lot of pride relatively quickly and that is ultimately what stopped them from the Lord being able to bless them and they rejected every opportunity the Lord gave them too. I just thought that was interesting since often times pride can get the best of us and blind our vision and stop others from helping us when we really need help.
Oh yeah we also went on exchanges this week in Dublin. It was really good and also really rainy. Hahaha. Usually when we're there we go to O'Connell Street which is just of the north side of Liffey river. It's one of the busiest streets on the north side of the city.
Here's a picture of the Quay. We were on the bus leaving and we just missed a nice storm.
Love,
Elder Calley
Here's another picture of the Quay.
