Warming up...

June 12, 2017

Congratulations Mama!!

      Shaver Lake... what a place. Looking forward to thanksgiving. 

This Last week was pretty long, but good. We were doing a lot of finding and we found some cool people. We had some great lessons and we taught the priesthood lesson on the Home. Last transfer a lot of my homies went home. Elder Oxspring (Milan) came to Cork with his family. It was good to see him. Elder Flynn (Tadhg) is coming sometime soon to Cork to visit. We have All-Ireland tomorrow which I am excited for. I need to get a haircut today to look clean for the conference. The branch president here wants us to be getting more dinner appointments. We have to ask for them here, so we had a competition... and now we have 8 meal appointments this week. Should be a good week! 

     We are still all good for our baptism on the 24th of June. We are trying to organize a multicultural food activity. We just had a Mexican chef move into the branch, so we are definitely going to his for lunch. 

The weather looks so good this next week... maybe its finally summer. We are stoked for a good week.

My companion Elder Haynes is from Las Vegas and we have been having a good couple of weeks so far. Looking forward to the rest of my mission, I think I will be moving next transfer. I hope not though...

Hope you are all doing well.

Sounds like some good summer plans!!

      Today should be a blistering 73 degrees and we should be going to the park for some fun time! Pray that I don't die of heat exhaustion! We have been helping our friend get ready for her baptism this Saturday. Her and sister came to church yesterday and they really enjoyed it.  

    Moves call will be july 8th. I hope I can stay here in Cork, but I think I could move. We did a lot of finding this week and ran into some interesting things. There was an old man who started to talk to me about the Catholic church, and he was really proud to see two young guys who wanted to help people believe in God. Then he gave me a nice set of Rosary beads. It was really nice of him.

     Looking forward to a really great week! The highlight will be the baptism this Saturday!!

Have a great week!!!

 Moves call is this Saturday and I have no idea what is going to happen...

I think I would like to move just to see more of the mission. But, Cork is so sick so I need to be careful what I wish for. We will see. 

      I am pretty excited for the 4th of July tomorrow. We will be having district meeting and eating pancakes. Also we will be bringing one of our investigators to a YSA activity where we will be playing some volleyball with the branch.

      We have a few dinners this week so we will be saying goodbye (maybe) to members just in case. I have a lot more missionary friends going home this weekend. Including Elder Calton from Lehi. He will be saying Hi to D-Beest for me.

       We have a little tin whistle that is pretty fun to mess around on, made some funny videos hopefully they can get sent to you.

Love you mama

Have a great week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Mama,

    I ended up getting the call that I am moving again. I am headed to a place called Dundalk. I dont know much about it, but I am training a brand new missionary. President Donaldson told me that I will be finishing up my mission there. Weird to now what I will be doing for the rest of my mission. I am catching a plane very early tomorrow morning. It will be an exhausting couple of days... 

I was a little sad to leave Cork behind. I loved the members there and had a lot of fun. I was unable to to say good bye to so many people that I wanted to. I am in Dublin now and wont get into my area late tomorrow night. I am looking forward to seeing Edinburgh again. Hopefully I will get to meet up with some friends there.

       We are going to have to be helping missionaries passing through Dublin. I need to get headed now!!

I love you MOM stay happy...
