Hello!
It’s been another crazy but really fast week! I can’t believe that I have already been out for 4 months.
Monday:
We taught a Family Home Evening lesson to the Dunphys family. It was crazy because 4 out of their 6
children were there plus two of their friends. We taught a lesson on the Gospel
of Jesus Christ then played a crazy game of charades.
Tuesday:
We had district meeting. It was really good and we worked on
teaching skills. The senior couple missionaries in the Cork district , the Wingets,
made some really good white lasagna.
We did some street boarding in the city after that. We did
it for around 5 hours which was tiring, but fun. I met two students from Texas
A&M-International school which was cool!
Wednesday:
We drove the Tralee elders back to Tralee. On our way back I picked up my packages from
DHL and the post office! The sweaters grandma got me are really nice! Thanks.
Later in the evening we went to our Investigator, Bethan's,
house. We watched “Meet the Mormons” with her so she could see the standards and
values we have in the church. I love Meet the Mormons, I've seen around 6 times
on my mission, I especially love the part with the Navy Football coach and how
he goes to church instead of going to work on Sunday and it blesses him and his
family!
Thursday:
We did some try bys (visiting less-active church members).
We got some really good fish and chips for lunch!
We did mostly finding and knocking on doors because most of
our lessons fell through.
Friday:
We went to do service at a soup kitchen called Penny
dinners. It was very busy there but I loved serving there because I love the
spirit that comes from serving others. After
that I was feeling ill so we went back to our flat to do weekly planning.
Later on we went to a man name John who referred himself,
but he wasn't there. The rest of the night we went knocking doors, which was
fun.
Saturday:
We had our missionary coordination meeting in the morning
which went well! It has become more organized which makes it more effective.
Afterwards we went street boarding in the city. We met a lot
of cool people. We met a man from France that loves the Houston Rockets! There is a man named Saint Anthony, also known
as Crazy Catholic man, and he loves to argue with us. He interrupted us and
then he spit on me then walked away. I just smiled because I didn’t do anything
wrong!
Later that day, we watched the video “Joseph Smith The Restoration”
with some investigators. I love that movie and it always makes me happy!
Sunday:
We had Branch Council in the morning. We discussed the 2016
mission plan for the Branch. We came up with a lot of ideas for bringing unity
to the branch!
Church was good as always and Elder Christensen taught the Elder’s
Quorum lesson. He taught about the life of Howard W. Hunter. It was a good
lesson and the spirit was strong as we watched some conference talks from him.
We ate at President Stapleton’s house for dinner. It was a
fun as we had interesting conversation on the word of wisdom over dinner.
More Fun Stuff:
I have grown to love Mexican food more on my mission!
I have grown to love Mexican food more on my mission!
They play the song “Praise to the Man” a lot.
I have a cardiologist appointment on Friday, so hopefully
that goes well.
I loved your emails this week.
Have a wonderful week
I love and miss you all.
Love,
Elder Joseph Udy
