Hello
It was so good to talk to my family
on Christmas! It took a little while to adjust back but I loved it.
In Ireland, there is a lot of
drinking around the holidays. For
instance, they celebrate the “Twelve Pubs of Christmas”. During Christmas and New Years, we received
permission from the Mission President to watch “U” rated movies because it is
difficult to have teaching appointments.
After Skyping we ate Christmas
dinner at the Branch President’s house . We had ham, turkey, fried potatoes and
mashed potatoes. After that, we went to the Kagari’s house. They are another family in the Cork Branch.
The day after Christmas, Ronan was
baptized by Brother Quirke. It was so great. I got really emotional because
Ronan has made a wonderful choice in following Jesus Christ! The rest of the
day we spent at the Stapleton's (Branch President’s House). We spent the day
watching 3 movies that you could probably guess..The Star Wars Original
Trilogy. It was so awesome! I hope the other missionaries didn't get annoyed
because I quoted a lot of lines during the movies!
On Sunday, Ronan was confirmed a
member of the church and received the Gift of the Holy Ghost during Sacrament
Meeting, you could feel the spirit so strong!
I have to say this Christmas was so
amazing and one of my favorites!
It’s so good to hear from you and
all the support, because that really helps!
Hope you have a great week!!
Love,
Elder Joseph Udy
