Hello
Well life has been way crazy with the new area, but on the upside we now have a flat. It's really small but it's just what we need. It's a one bedroom, bathroom, with a kitchen and living room joint. It has all wood floors which I think is a down side because it does not stay as warm, but I do really enjoy it. The last resident was really messy and looks to have never dusted or cleaned because the stuff we were cleaning was just sick. The house has lots of spiders I don't think Amy would like to live in it. One spider bit me and it's sore and itchy, but I know everything will be okay because they don't have anything poisonous here on the island. (Had to edit where the spider bite was and what he had to say about it, but it was hilarious – let your mind fill in the blanks and the rest of the story!)
Like I said we have got the new flat, so the last few days have been all about getting that ready to live in; which means cups, bowls, food, pans, pots, silverware, the whole works. It has been really expensive but the good news was Elder Johnson has been able to pay for it because he came in the middle of the month instead of the end so he had full money for only half the time. He gets to reimburse all of it and use it all later, also I have had to buy some of the stuff and somehow have been able to only use church funds, it's been really good. My ability to spend very little somehow seems to improve each time. Yet I still eat okay stuff.
Ever since I picked up Elder Johnson it has been good weather till yesterday and today; it has decided to have "patty mist" (some Irish term), which I really have no way to describe to you other then you have to experience it. Basically it's the most horrible junk ever; it's just really cold and soaks you through all the way. Umbrellas are the only way around it. But you still get some of it. Right now I'm in Dublin City and I'm sitting with my favorite Elder; Elder Furlong, we are all just dripping from just getting in, even though the sun right now is shining. The weather here is spastic; it rains then shines in fact if you walk fast enough you can out walk it, sometimes it can be raining just behind you but not where you are standing, it's stupid you just have to see it.
Well the area is good fun even though we have nobody to teach right now. So what we do every day is go finding people to teach, it should pay off pretty soon. I really don't have much else to say but love you and see you soon.
