Love from Limerick--April 23rd


How is everybody??  Sounds like you're doing good..and it sounds sunny...no fair. :)  Thanks for the letters and emails this week!  I love them so so much.  I also got mom's graduation announcement in the mail.  Yay!  So proud of our mom, she's growing up so fast. ;) love ya mom! And happy birthday to Shannon tomorrow!  I can't believe you'll be 14!  Please stop growing up...we can run away to never never land together. ha

So.  We've had another good week.  hmm.  We had a pretty amazing district meeting on Tuesday.  A general authority (can't remember the name) came and gave training to all the district leaders and we did basically the same thing they did in their meeting.  He talked about why the culture of the mission was negative...why we  don't get many baptisms...he said, "You! It's because of each of you."  Woah.  We talked a lot about that and planning and going by the spirit and we've already seen a difference.  We talked about Alma 23:13.  After these people were truly converted they knew they had to lay down their "weapons of war"....so during the meeting we each took about ten minutes to pray and ask Heavenly Father what weapons of war were we holding onto that we needed to lay down to change ourselves and our missionary work.  The spirit was strong and we all shared with each other some of the things so we can help each other work on them.  Then we took about ten more minutes to pray and ask Heavenly Father what we could do to change.  It was really uncomfortable for all of us haha cause we have a lot to work on, but it was so good because now we can change and be better.
