Here are a couple of phone pictures from the lovely lady who spent P-day with the missionaries at the Leprechaun Museum!

LAST WEEK IN THE MISSION FIELD

This week was AMAZING!

First, I mentioned last week I was in a trio: 

Sister Nicoll and Sister Millward. My pride and joy all week!

We went out to Mongolian BBQ (stir fry place) for Sister Nicoll's birthday
Us at the YSA Valentines dance. We were each other's valentines! haha We decided it was a must to get a picture next to the balloons.

This is Dorrie Weldon. Let me tell you a wee bit about her. Dorrie LOVES Elvis as i'm sure you didn't guess with the first picture, she loves to laugh and will make a joke out of anything. She will wind you up, ALWAYS! She has a glass eye for readying and she is a great member missionary. We had dinner, karoke and a good hearty laugh with her on Valentines Day!

The Sisters, Gabrielle (baptized last July) and Sean (baptized in September 2012). They are both amazing people and hilarious to be around. Gabrielle LOVES Joseph Smith! She talks about him all the time!

I realized I haven't talked about the people I work with on a weekly basis. I thought I would tell you about some of them and the rest will have to wait until I see you in person!

Hope you have a great week!

One of my lasts

The cutest couple, The Hicks. They are from Springville, Utah. It was destiny for us to serve with each other. Usually senior couples stay in one area their entire mission. The Hicks started in Glasgow where I met them. They then were transferred to Dublin one week before I came to Dublin! It's been great to serve with them most of my mission!

 

The Finglas Ward missionaries! Yep we are pretty awkward when taking pictures. We never are ready for pictures to be taken as you can see. It's pretty unorganized, but it works for us!

 

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER NICOLL!!!!!!

It's been lovely to have the ward take initiative of knowing her birthday. I didn't have to do any planning. I was as surprised as Sister Nicoll when the birthday candles came out!

 

 Sister Nicoll is 22yr old. She is super old, she is already showing signs of old age. She walks slow, and takes longs showers! I still love her! :)

 

left to right: Sister Nicoll, Mable (investigator), Sister Garlock (me), Emily Jude(recent convert)

 

Mable is so great and hilarious! We found her through a less active and her heart has been preparing for a while. She accepts and believes everything we teach her and everything she hears in church. She loves reading the Book of Mormon and finds joy in doing so! Mable is from Zimbabwe  Africa and has lived in Ireland for 10 years. Her baptism date is scheduled for the 9th of March, but might possibly be moved up to the 23 February! Sister Nicoll and are so excited!

 

Last news of update. We are a trio now! We found out Sunday morning that we will be in a trio until I leave home on the 21 February to the mission home. Her name is Sister Milward and you will hear more about her next week!

 

ok Last of last. This is my second to last e-mail until i'll be home. If anyone is planning on sending letters save your post money. I'll probably see you before I read your letter! If you have already sent it than I can't wait to get it after I see you! haha

 

Have a great week!

Greystone Hike

As promised here are the pictures I know you have all been waiting for. Last week we went on a gorgeous hike. Sean Hughes (a recent convert) loves the outdoors and took us on this hike. The Elders decided to have a great time on their p-day and come with us.

 Our first stop was the beach. The rain started coming down and we are all thinking "We've only been walking for 10 minutes. This is going to be a long wet hike"

Wet was correct. There were puddles EVERYWHERE! If only we, as missionaries, got the memo to bring our 100% waterproof boots with us.

Everyone that went!

Scenery pictures

Me having fun on a wall in Ireland. It reminded me of the great wall of china!

Sister Nicoll Cut her hand on the fence! haha You had to be there to appreciate and understand just how funny it was.

Who puts their arm out sideways? Goodness I couldn't help but laugh at myself posing the way I did. It looks like someone was photoshopped OUT of the picture! haha

The sites at the end of our hike. As I mentioned previous. We went on a gorgeous hike!

Hope you all had a great week! I hope you enjoy the beauty of Ireland. I know I am
