Week 102: Merry Christmas!!!

Dec 24, 2018

This week has been good. We had a member bring an friend to church. So yeah that was awesome! 

So yeah I can't really believe that this is the last week. It still feels like I have another transfer to go but it's been a great two years. I'm so grateful for the opportunity I had here to go and share the gospel with the people in Scotland and Ireland. I really wouldn't trade it for the world. I've had some hard times and some of the most happiest times where I think I've felt some of the love Heavenly Father has for His children. I know a mission is about serving others and doing the things that Jesus Christ would do but I think by doing those things I've come away with some of the greatest blessings. I'm grateful this Christmas we're able to focus on Jesus Christ. He is the true meaning of Christmas and as we follow Him, I know He will bring peace to our souls and light to our lives.

Merry Christmas!!!

Love you guys!

Week 101: I'm dreaming of a dry Christmas!

Dec. 17, 2018

Hey guys!

So this week was good. We're still teaching Mitch and found a new guy named Wade from South Africa. They're both willing to read the Book of Mormon and be baptised if they come to find it's true. Wade was going to come to church this week but backed out last second. We're seeing both of them on Wednesday again.

Yeah so there was All-Ireland conference on Tuesday. It was good. President Macdonald instructed as well as the Assistants and there were a few snowballs thrown around. So all the missionaries in Northern Ireland come down to Dublin too. Wednesday all the missionaries in Cork had interviews with President. 

This last P-day we went to Glendalough in county Wicklow. Apparently this is where they filmed part of Brave Heart. It was pretty awesome.  

Well not too much else happened this week.

So this week I've been studying about looking to Christ. In John 15:5 it says, I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. This time of year it can get very difficult to focus on the true meaning of Christmas but I know that as we do we'll receive the strength we need to face our daily challenges and the peace and the hope we need for the coming year.

I hope you guys have a great week!

Love you guys so much,
