Well hello family
Life here in the emerald Isle is wet but all good. We don't have too much going on which is too bad but we are still working hard. Basically all that has been going on is we do a lot of walking around and talking to people. Elizabeth has been kind of dodging us but we will keep persisting and trying to talk to her. This last week she said she would come to church and didn't. Also she hardly ever answers the phone and when they do it's her daughter and her daughter usually says she can't come to the phone. Which is too bad but we keep praying about it and keep trying. Apparently the MacTaggertes did the same thing when they were being taught so I think of them when she dodges us.
But on the good news of people we have been teaching. A less active in our ward William Close and his fiancée Colleen (Cole-lean) (that is an Irish name) have been coming out to church and we are going to see them tonight. The problem is we have to be very careful with how we teach them because they are a bit scared of the church. Basically the reason William went less active was because as a kid he was bullied at church, so to him church is just a place of bad memories so they have been to church twice now. It's really good because no other missionary has been able to get this far with them, so keep them in your prayers.
Well today for pday we are going to the Bangor fair again because it's the last day open and we are going to go have fun. Half of the elders have not been yet and some have not been on a rollercoaster close to a year, I'm excited it's really fun. (Now if I can only approve a swim trip.) I will life guard and then Elder Furlong can life guard me while I swim. I think it's a very fair deal.
Well I have become somewhat of a legend in the Newtownards branch and it's really unfair. I think I said last week that the girls there find me very hot stuff. Well now when I go on exchanges there they just use me to get dinner appointments. All I can say if I was to move there I would be getting dinner every night. Elder Byrne's calls me his man whore, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing usually a whore is a bad thing but I am helping out their area. So I think when president comes up for interviews I'm going to ask if I can serve in Newtownards.
Well anyways I'm out of stuff to say love you all
