Hey my family...
It's been one busy week for us! We had an All Ireland Conference with Elder Teixera. We all felt we were cut down by him, but in a way that has us all motived to make changes and improve ourselves.
One of the places I was at this week was in a city in Northern Ireland. That was such an interesting city! Full of history. The city was divided by a river and on one side of the river was where Catholics live and on the other side of the river was where Protestants live. There's a walking bridge in between the two parts and they called it 'Peace Bridge'. It made me feel like we were in a story book or something. When Sister Cardon and I were talking to people on the streets, they would ask us which side of the river we lived on because that supposdely indicates a lot about a person's beliefs based on their location in the city. It was so interesting to experience.
We've started an english class here in Terenure which is starting to pick up! We're teaching a group of Lithuanian friends right now, and we're continuing to try and add to it.
Our lives are so busy. Sister Shead and I have only been together for 2 1/2 days this week with the exchanges we have going on. 'Routine' is nonexistent for us. Haha...we're trying to get the hang of the new assignment. It's a different life. But I do really love working with the other sisters in Ireland. It's blessing my life. It's such a great learning experience.
One of our most progressing investigators just texted us this morning and admitted that he sees one of us in a different light and apologized that he has developed feelings. He said he was up reading the Book of Mormon and praying last night and he felt the need to tell us. We were so impressed with him. I think we'll be handing him to the elders in our ward is the plan but he's doing amazing and progressing so well.
One quick miracle from this week- We had a potentail investigator named Barrie and we tried by him last week but he wasn't home. So we left him a note with our number. We got a call this week from an older couple, saying they got our note in the door and that they don't know who Barrie is but that they would like us to come and teach them. So fair enough, we thought we had dropped the note in the wrong house. BUT...it turns out that George and Mary (the couple) live 15 minutes away from Barrie's home! The note we left for Barrie in his home, ended up at George and Mary's house 15 minutes away. ?!?!?!?! We don't have any explanation for how that happened. There is no connection between them and we didn't drop the note in George and Mary's house. But when we arrived at their house last night, it was the very note that I had written for Barrie. I don't know how that happened, but it was another testimony to me that this is the Lord's work. And he places us in the paths of people who are prepared. We taught George and Mary last night and we are seeing them again on Wednseday. So confusing, but so amazing.
Love you all!
