SISTER FIRTH: IRELAND – 100 DAYS LEFT
So, can you believe I only have 100 days left? Crazy right! This past week was great!
Monday: We hiked up to Belfast Castle and then up the mountain to this cave! It was so fun! It was a hike though! Man, I am sooo out of shape! I can’t wait to go running when I get home! So ya the castle was way fun!
Tuesday: We had zone meeting on Tuesday! It was soo good! It was a really spiritual meeting and two of my favorite people Elder Windhausen and Sister Rousseau gave their out-going testimonies. Tears were flowin!! We all got in a circle and discussed about the purpose of life as a missionary and as a person. It was so good! Ah I loved it!
Wednesday: We ate lunch at this little old lady’s house named Beula. Her daughter was there as well. Beaula’s mom used to feed the missionaries back in the 1960’s and when she saw us on the street, she invited us over for lunch. It was really fun and we were able to show her and her daughter, Mormon messages. Her daughter is a widow and so we were able to talk about the afterlife with her. It was great!
Our sleepover, and my new scarf from Jeff Glen’s fundraiser, (thanks mom! :)
Thursday: Thursday was so fun and exciting! The STL’s came on exchanges with us! All four of us went to a wedding that was in the ward. It was so cool to see and the bride looked so happy! And of course, you know me, I love weddings!! So it was great! I got to go on exchanges with Sister Valadez. She is such a cute girl. It was my first exchange with her and we got on so good! We are so much alike in the fact that we LOVE our families!! haha That’s pretty much all we talked about. It was great! We got 2 potentials that night as well. So it was a good night with her!
Friday: The STL’s left in the morning, and we taught our LA, Shanon, that afternoon. Before the lesson, we listened to Josh Groban’s song, “To where you are” at her house. I’m pretty sure it was the song that was sung at Aunt Kathy’s funeral. I’m not sure if Shanon or Sis. Martin could feel the spirit, but I definitely could. It made me teary because it just brought back memories. I felt as if Aunt Kathy was sitting right next to me. It was definitely a moment that I’ll never forget.
Saturday: We had a lesson with one of our potential investigators. We brought a member with us. Ask me if we taught anything? Nope!! haha The member taught the whole lesson and it was definitely a Bible bash so I guess you could say that it didn’t go too well and that we dropped him. All Sister Martin and I did was testify at the end. We couldn’t get one word in. It was kind of amusing! haha
