Wow. Well, they tell you the first day in the MTC is the longest. This is incorrect. They wree really alll equally long. 16 hours or so, with an extra hour then added on for the British pagaent (an awesome lds play about the roots of the saints in the british isles.) which we got to be featured in at the end, singing 'called to serve'

Having an Aussie (pronounced 'ah-zee') companion was heaps of fun. He's taught me heaps about Australia. I'd be keen to visit some day. I reckon. 

So P-days will be on Mondays from now on, so since I transferred on a Tuesday, that's why I didn't write last week. I almost had three p days, but ended up with only one. :/ 

I am currently serving in Limerick, Ireland, which is in the SW edge. I'll be here for the next 12 weeks or so, maybe more. So parcel mail is trikier, and it would probably be easier to send money, but the mail address is easier, and you can send anything directly to me at: 

5 Curaheen 

St. Nessans Rd. 

Dooradoyle 

Limerick

Ireland

So on Wed and Thurs and Fri, I spent almost the whole day travelling. Once I got into Limerick, I got to teach a lesson immediately, then we had a baptism, and dinner, all in the first day! ^0^

While we were chapping (knocking on doors) we came across an african woman named Olabasi ('oh-lah-bee-see') who was wonderful to talk to. And we taught an african man who escaped his warring country, named Yakub (ya-koob)

Oh, and my companions are Elder Luna and Elder Dixon. Elder Luna looks like Patrick Colosimo, but with black hair, and elder Dixon is a tall black Jamaican, who loves dancing and wants to be a judge. Elder luna wants to be a journalist. Both are fantastic missionaries, and are the zone leaders, and I've been privledged to learn from them. 

We also taught a man named Zebulon, who was very stubborn, and didn't really listen to anything we taught... And we were teaching really clearly (a member named Jaffa came along)

Elder Luna said "He reminds me of Korihor - but Korihor had better arguments"

So it's been a real party here! :D Lots of work, so it's been really fun! 

So I hope you all have a fantastic week! 

Some of you asked what I'd like to get from you, and I think the nicest thing would just be to see your smiling faces! Preferably with people you love... 

Enjoy life! :D
