Hey everybody!
This week was full of adventures of the missionary variety! Well, I say that because it was moves week. Elder Topp and I are in the same ward as our Zone Leaders (one of which was going home-Elder Manning) and the other (Elder Mauff) was left to coordinate ALL the missionaries moving in and out of the entire Republic of Ireland by himself!!! So, needless to say, he needed as much help as he could. Elder Topp and I spent a lot of time this week in one of the missionary cars dropped off in Dublin to take missionaries to and from airports, bus stations, and flats (apartments) all around the Dublin area. Since Elder Topp doesn't have his UK driver's Lisence (tons of people don't in the UK cause public transport is so much better), I was the one driving! Let me tell you, driving in the UK/Ireland is SO different from the US. Everything is a manual transmission, you drive on the LEFT side of the road, you have TONS of roundabouts with their own laws, and all of that on top of the fact that you're in the middle of a very big city! Haha but have no worries, I prevailed! We got all the missionaries where they needed to be, and all is well.
The teaching is going great as well. Matthew is reading, and he says his mind lights up when he reads the book of mormon, and he sees the same teachings as Jesus teaches in the New Testament! He and his family are so amazing... Veliana is the sister of a member in our ward, and when she heard about the Restoration of the Gospel and the Book of Mormon, she was just like "Yeah, it's true!" It was awesome to see her so prepared to receive these truths! We're stilll working with Pro, but it's a little slow going. He really does have a desire to get that answer for himself though, and I know that it'll come!
Ummm, oh! Did I tell you all about Sharpe Musical Day? Well, a family in our ward (The Sharpes) had a musical day in which they sang everything all day! And we were invited to teach them and eat dinner with them! It was SO fun to teach and eat in sing-song! What a perfect family for a kid that loves musicals right??
Thanks for everyone who has written! Getting post is like christmas every time! It takes about 5 or 6 days for a letter to travel, but It does get here and I do reply ASAP! I want to hear from all of you!
To everyone going back to school/college this week, good luck! Stay strong, stay focused, have fun! I probably miss BYU more than almost anything else, so appreciate the time you have wherever you are. The Joy is in the journey!
Well I think that's all for this week, I'll try to include more pictures/specific stories soon, cause I want you to enjoy this blog as much as I'm enjoying writing it!
Love you all!
~Elder Crosby
