Dundalk, Part 1

8 Brookwood Lawns

Red Barns Road, Dundalk County Louth, Republic of Ireland

I'll try to answer some of your questions, a lot has been going on.

We have a car, and no bikes. Which is fine, and we usually walk places anyways. But the car is really nice to have. The flat we have is awesome! It's basically a house; you could raise a small family here. There's a washing/drying machine, 2 showers, couches, it's awesome. And our neighbor/landlord (Alice) is super nice and helpful. She's one of the most active of the approx. 18 active members in the branch. Everyone I meet is super nice. The accent is easy to understand, although they have this weird quirk where instead of saying ''good afternoon'' or ''hello'' they say ''no thank you, not interested.'' We've only been cussed off once or twice. 

Someday I'll have to tell you about the arduous journey to Dundalk. The weather has been really nice; hardly any rain and lots of sunshine. Elder Scholz quickly became my friend; he's just great, and fun, and also a very good missionary. I'm learning a lot from him (he's from LA California). 

We ate dinner with a Romanian family yesterday. There's nine kids! It was good; some kind of chicken stew. 

I can assure you that my testimony is already growing quite a lot. I'm seeing firsthand the power of prayer and the role of the holy spirit in our work. 

I'm sorry Eleni had such a tough time, but it's nice to hear she's doing better. Also, no spoilers for Spider-Man! I'm sorry I can't send more, I'm trying to leave lots of time for me companion. Know that I love you all and I don't ever forget you. Make sure nobody calls Justin ''Boy'' anymore, he's morphing into a man! I wish I could hear Olivia's voice for a little bit. She's so sweet. 

If there's anything else in particular you'd like to know, tell me next week in bold letters so that I can tell you. 

Love, Elder Lybbert
