Ok, we'll start with
the most exciting story of the week. On Saturday, I ate a Carolina
Reaper pepper with some friends from church. It's the hottest pepper in
the world. Let me tell you, I believe it. I straightaway chugged some
milk to try and save myself, but it was too late. I literally felt it
burn down my throat. The best relief I got was by putting a huge scoop
of ice cream in my mouth and just letting it sit. It reaches it's peak
hotness at 6 minutes. After the first 2 minutes, I was crying, sitting
on the floor, and awaiting my imminent death. I couldn't breath out
of my mouth for about an hour. My tongue felt bruised for about a day.
It was the best thing ever :)
I had a fun last
p-day with Sister Hall and Sister Petersen. We saw a horse and an old rock bridge by a river. So ya, Dublin is flippin' awesome :)
We
have MLC this week, so we'll be flying to Edinburgh Wednesday morning
and fly back Wednesday night. It'll be a super inspiring day, I'm
excited to see my friends there!
Sister Garner
is a boss. We are going to get so much work done, and have
fun doing it!! Throwing it back to the MTC days, woot woot!
Sister
Garner didn't get here until Thursday, so until then, I was companions
with Sister Petersen, Sister Hall, Sister Hoover, Sister Clarke, Sister
Bradley, and Sister Pinkston all at different points during the week. It was
awesome, I love these sisters so much!
So it's been a random week, so I've got some random stories.
I
am starting to learn how to say "I am Batman" in as many different
languages as I can. Dublin is one of the most multi-cultural cities in
the world, so I am taking full advantage. I started on Thursday, and I'm
already up to 10 languages. Boom. I've made some new friends with this conversation!
Our friend
Boon, who got baptized last week, is the best! Every time we meet with
him, he brings us some sort of asian fruit or treat to try. It has been
quite the experience. So far, I've had rambutan, mangosteen, longon,
tamarinds, mangoes, shanon fruit, jack fruit, and the most delicious
coconut mochi in the world. Some taste amazing. Others are 100%
disgusting. It's so fun! haha
Sister Petersen and I spent the day at the Ludlow's, where we did the travel arrangements for the sisters in Ireland. They are a super cool family...hence the Carolina Reapers!
My favorite
conference talk was the one by Elder Robbins. He spoke about righteous
judgement, and how we can become more like Christ through how we see and
help others. I love how millions of people hear the same talk, but
everyone can relate it to themselves differently. General Conference was
amazing!
Love you lots!!!
