Well. I don't even know how to describe this last week, so many adventures went down! We'll start with Monday.
We
all climbed into Bertha (the huge mission van) in the morning and set off to a castle. We got
there and realized it cost money to enter, which is something we don't have! So,
we decided to keep driving until we found another one. Shoot dang. Tantallon
castle. We roll up and start exploring. It was the most beautiful place ever!
It's right on the cliffside, so we ran around climbing all over
everything and taking pics. We played rugby and frisbee on the grounds,
as well. Oh my days, it was so much fun!! Then we climbed back into
Bertha and drove to the beach. This beach is what heaven will look like.
We played frisbee again and ran around avoiding the waves. It was the
best!!
Tuesday, we went to Montrose for a
district meeting. It was a nice drive and a great meeting. Our friend,
Elder Stevens, goes home this week. It was great to be in one last
meeting with him.
Wednesday, I went on exchanges with Sister Petersen! It was great to have a little reunion.
Thursday,
we flew to Dublin! It was the rockiest landing of my life. Like, I
almost died. Not really...but the university aged dude sitting next to me
screamed like a little girl! That was entertaining. The day in
Dublin was amazing! I was with Sister Kotter right in the city center.
We met so many people!! Oh my days, I love that city with all my heart.
Friday,
we had a leadership training meeting in the morning. It went really
well, there are a couple new tools that are being introduced to help the
missionaries out. It was great to hear from President Thompson and
President Kerr, the counselors in the Mission Presidency. They are both
such amazing leaders, I have learned so much from them! After the
meeting, we grabbed Vietnamese food with Boon, and then went out to
teach a couple lessons. I got to see Bruno again! It's always good to go
back to my city.
Saturday morning, we flew home
flippin early. It was a great flight with lots of fun conversations and
stuff. Then we went straight to the Scotland leadership training. Same
meeting, but the vibe was totally different. It's crazy how the context
can be the same, but people will get totally different reactions.
Sunday
was a great stake conference at church. We had a lot of friends attend and the talks were so great! A lot of the speakers are recent converts
who shared their conversion stories. It was so powerful!

ReplyDeleteI found Paradise as a (soon) to be Latter Day Saint. I can't wait for it all to be official and finally become a part of the true Church of Jesus Christ - All this made possible through the awesome work of the missionaries. MY CHAMPIONS. Keep on happening! Keep up the great work. :)
