Bangor, Part 5 - March 4, 2018

Yeah, well I'm feeling it both ways: I'm feeling the ''Wow!! I'm already an eight month old missionary!'' along with ''have I really got 15 whole months left to go?'' and then my next thought is: ''15 months. That's not that long, is it?''

Sorry to hear that you're sick Dad. That can really make time slow down, eh? I haven't gotten really sick on my mission, and I suppose it will stay that way. I'm grateful for that. 

Did President Coulter get a new calling? I haven't met Elder Heggie yet, but I've heard about him. Apparently he's made out with the AP's little sister before. I thought that was funny. 

I've been studying the bible a lot, just so that I can adequately show these people that we don't oppose the teachings of the bible at all. Of course, we can't get a conversation going wherein we can explain ourselves. But that doesn't even matter anymore. We are struggling to get in contact with Helen and Nathaniel. But on the other hand, we have a scheduled lesson with the Ward Mission Leader's girlfriend for Wednesday! WOO! I'm happy about that, because that will be our first lesson in Bangor! 

I love going to basketball games. I miss it too! I'll look forward to that when I get back. Of course, it's easy to look forward to things when I come home, but it's not always easy to look forward to the next day. We have now got a list of less active members and part member families who we could visit. President Donaldson discourages too much less active work because we should be leaving the bulk of that to home teachers. But we definitely want to get in with part member families. 

I don't actually know where Elder Crawley is, but we are having dinner with his family tonight, so I will no doubt find out soon. 

Are snow pushers those electric snow-shovel-looking-things that melt the snow as you use it? I'm telling you, you wouldn't believe how people freak out about snow in Ireland. It could be the lightest snow ever, and the whole town is in a tizzy. It's actually crazy. We were actually told to stay inside on Thursday because of weather conditions. We obeyed, but it didn't seem necessary. 

We get fed quite a bit by Bangor 2nd ward. They might just become my new favourites...right now, my favourite family is still the Gunapalas in Dundalk, but we'll see. We'll just see. I wish I had a picture of them. 

Anywho, that should be it for now. I hope I haven't left anything out. I love y'all! Seeyoubye!
