Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, I hope you guys all have a great Thanksgiving tomorrow. I wish I was going to be there to see everyone and to go shopping on Black Friday with Jamie and Wyatt but those days will come again in two years. But less than a month till Christmas so that is exciting. It feels weird to think things are still going on back home without me, it feels like everything should be exactly how it was when I left. But I do think Sister Sharpe, Bishop's wife who is from Arizona, is going to feed us Thanksgiving Dinner tomorrow night. Not till like 8 though so we'll work all day and then go there to eat so I am excited about that. She always takes good care of us. She loves me too because she's from Arizona and well . . . who wouldn't? haha Today I am in Bray again we spent all day yesterday and we will go back to Clonsilla in a couple of hours. But exchanges were good yesterday me and Elder Beckstead went with Elder Hildebrand. Yes, Elder Beckstead is still in a trio with us which ...

4 MONTH MARK!!!

Only 20 Left HA HA. But of course, this week has gone by fast like they always do. I Can't Believe it's already the middle of November. Thanksgiving is next week crazy. That will be weird not being there and not really celebrating Thanksgiving at all. Well, my friend Elder Musson that had the kidney stone finally had to go to England to the hospital because the Irish Helth care system blows. So, he flew off on Monday and his companion is in a Trio with us for awhile. Which is like an answer to my prayers I can deal with my companion a lot easier when he is there. He's an awesome guy and I am having a good crack with him. He's my bud from Mesa, Elder Beckstead. But we did hear that Elder Musson had a Kidney infection so they have put him on some antibiotics, and he should be back in a couple of days so that will be good. Also, my companion works better when he is around, so everything is going good. I think your companion can only affect you so much. You still have to be...

IT'S ME!!!!!!!!

Well Good Morning Family you guys are probably actually up this morning not like when I usually email. It is about 3:30 in the afternoon here. This morning we went into the heart of Dublin with a Phillipino member named Rynaldo. He took us and showed us around it was really cool. He also took us to a really good Chinese food buffet for lunch which was awesome. We tried to pay him but he wouldn't let us. He doesn't have very much money but he just kept saying he wanted to pay for us. He is such a good guy. But if you get a chance google Dublin city and see some cool pictures of it with the river Liffey running down the middle of it. Also, Jamie B. he showed us the Hotel that Bono owns right there in the middle of the city. We did a little bit of shopping as well. I got two new ties and a pair of jeans for 10.00 Euros. So that was good. I only brought one pair of jeans when I came out and I got them a size bigger than what I would normally get and then a lost some weight so they ...

The Secret of Life is to Keep Your Eye on the Ball

Well, another week here in Ireland with a new companion Elder Field. Well, he is . . . all right. I am already starting to have to push him to work so that scares me a little. But maybe it is just new area syndrome. But he is a nice enough guy I guess. He's just kinda weird. Just a regular Utard. But I'll manage. I think he will make me a better missionary because I will have to motivate him to work. There's always a purpose for where and who we are serving with. This week has been a pretty regular week nothing to exciting happening. At Soccer on Saturday we had a less active, Henry, come that I've never seen at church. So, we were having a Ward Halloween party on Saturday night. So, at soccer I invited him to come to the ward party and I told them there would be games and food and stuff. But I didn't think he would really show up. But he did show up and He brought his wife who is a nonmember and from there they showed up to church the next day both of them and stay...
