Emergency Moves Have hit Dublin.
Like it says we now have been affected by E moves and Elder Johnson and I are going to be directly affected by it. We are not the reason for them but we are being affected. Johnson will be moving to Newtownabby in the north it is right across the water from Bangor my first area and he will be serving with a Welsh Elder (the only other Welsh Elder in the mission) Elder Gilmore. I will be serving with an old friend Elder Byrnes as a fix up Elder because he has no motivation to work. President specifically wanted us, myself and Johnson, because we are both easy to get along with and we are hard workers. Direct side affect from our area. Johnson will also be acting as a fix up Elder to Gilmore because he does not want to work. From what we understand only 4 companionship's are affected by this move but still it sucks because we really didn't want to move just yet. This will all take place tomorrow. And we found out last night at 9:30.
In other news I have been very sick again! Yippee so I have been stuck in the flat a lot. I came down with a horrible cold, it got 4 elders in our district on Sunday. We did trios because only the 3 senior comps where the ones sick so the juniors went out and worked our area and did some finding. Johnson was the only successful one cuz he is to use to it. Then that night Dickerson got sick and joined us as well. On Monday Dinning and Dickerson felt better and Tuesday I was better. So that's now taken care of.
Once again because of New Years and things the work has been crap and so I have no good stories to tell and then me being sick is not anything exciting. I did get to do lots of service just before I got sick for Angela.
Okay I lied I have one funny story for New Year's Day. So Lisa the lady who cooked us Thanksgiving dinner, we finally came up with a way to pay her back so we decided to do it on New Year's Day cuz she would be in right?.... not.. So anyways we travel out thinking we would simply go out to her house and go to the closest shop and buy cookies and milk with a note saying thanks for the meal, unfortunately this is all we could come up with. Well it's New Years Day and everything was closed except Little Caesars Pizza!! (You can always count on America to be open! God bless the USA!) Well we buy it, take it over to leave (We think it's so creative cuz it's all we can do, we are laughing our heads off.) We get to the door, we door bell ditch and hide waiting. No answer, we ring it again, no answer, crap. We don't know what to do; so we ate the pizza cuz we can't keep it, the bad news was we each had to eat half a pizza and then go directly to a dinner appointment. Not a good deal on our part. But we laugh about it still.
Well I love you all, thanks for the prayers in my behalf. Life is going to be great. Elder Byrnes is a friend so we will get along well, I will just have to push him out the door, but it will be a great learning experience for me again. President must have loads of faith in me to do this.
Love you all so much take care.
Hugs :) and kisses
