Fwd: Sorrow and Glory!

Here's what I wrote the mission president for this week: 

This week was disappointing, having only one joint teach, where we decided to drop our investigator. :/ But we had 2 really solid QGC! One of them was a psychologist we'd chapped in to about my first week here in Sligo, who we had forgotten about until we chapped the street again. We hadn't gotten anything for a long while, and we prayed again. We both felt we should start behind us. The second door, the psychologist's wife answered, inviting us back! :D The second was especially miraculous to me: we had felt great about this street (actually the same one), but had just been rejected for about an hour. Between houses, I prayed, "Heavenly Father - it is /really/ cold. It would be really nice if someone would let us in..." and the next door, we were let in! Able to share God's plan for them. :)
So those were really miraculous, despite not having our usual plethora of lessons.

I've been doing great - I actually said this morning that I was probably doing the best I had ever been... then realized that was really for my whole life. Never before in my life have I been so obedient to the Lord's commandments - though I'm far from perfect, it's still great. :)

Also, I really know that the Lord gives us inspiration. As I discussed with Sister Morrison, Crawley, and Elder Livingston and de Vries about the choir, we sought inspiration in every move. Looking back, I was shocked at how quickly big hassles became simple matters, as we relied on inspiration. Saturday, we figured out who would be in which group song, and I laughingly thought to myself, as I saw how quickly names came to mind, This must be what moves planning is like! hahaha

So I really know that God does hear us and speak to us. :)

Here is Joe Tiernan and Sigfried Ducusin, two superheroes of Sligo Branch, fulfilling their priesthood duty! :) They are seriously brilliant.

Love you all! Cheers!! :D
