| Birthday Lunch |
So, I have to make this a quickie and try to get as much in as possible!
Monday was hectic, trying to get prepped for moving and saying good bye to some of my favorite people, the Kagaris! Tuesday I packed, and the Hales took the 6 missionaries out for a farewell lunch. It was so sad to say goodbye to these really great friends. I have loved them so much. I was only one to move (still crazy!) so it made good bye a little harder. I'll see them all on the other side, though :) Sister Morrison and I went to Dublin that night and slept over with Clonsilla and Sister Cannon. It was requisite to have a pizza run.
Wednesday was LONG, getting back to Scotland. I had to say good bye to my beautiful Sister Morrison :'( The ferry ride was rough (including on my stomach and my lunch :P) but in the end I found my new companion, Sister Wilkin, and got to Montrose safely and happily! The wind off the bay was there to greet us!
We are involved with the Family History Center here, which is really fun, and it will be a good opportunity to meet members and non-members! The senior couple here are the Hayballs, and they're great missionaries :)
We got the opportunity to take cookies to the bishop and his wife, which turned out be an answer to a prayer. Really great experience.
We are teaching two long term investigators right now, Leslie and Tracy, and they both have been investigating for about 18 months. They are progressing slowly but surely! There's a lot of potential with part-member families and member missionary work here, so we'll really need prayers! The ward and many many friends fasted and prayed for the Maxton family here, and I have faith that miracles can happen for them! The husband is a non-member, but the rest of his family are active. I know that you all helped in your prayers, that brought referrals in Cork, and I know you can all be involved in this work just through your prayers!
The ward members are strong and loving and I'm so excited to get to know them better! I love them already, after being companions with Sister Jones and Sister Morrison :)
Okay, I have to go now, but I love you all! God loves you more!
Always,
Sister Kirkpatrick
