"Waving farewell to my sweet Ireland" June 4th


So you know the Nashville tribute band?  My favorite cd was always the Joseph Smith one...and there is a song on there (number 7 I think haha) and one of the lines in the song is..."Now I'm waving farewell to my sweet Ireland."..... And in a couple of days that's what I'll be doing...we got moves call last night and I'm getting transferred! ahh!  I'm going to be in Greenock (don't ask me if that's spelled right) in SCOTLAND.  I was like a scared, lost little girl when President called me to tell  me. haha But now I'm excited and it will be really good!  Even though I'm not too happy about leaving Ireland...I love this place.  But Scotland will hopefully be just as fantastic, I don't know much about the area I'm going to.  My new companion is Sister Patterson (from Canada) and we're white washing in.  Once again. :)  I've been dying to tell you!  So there you go!  It was also pretty sad because this is President Griffiths last transfer. :(  I WISH I could have served with them longer.  I love them!  But President Brown will be amazing as well.  
We were on our way to our flat for the night so we caught a bus and were heading into the city.  Sister Pettman said that we should get off early and just walk home (we didn't want to talk to all the drunk people in the city ha) so we got off (I didn't really want to because I was sick of being in the rain), but we did and we started walking home, jumping in puddles because we were already drenched!  We passed a woman and stopped her to talk to her.  She told us that she had been so lonely that day, her son had just gone to England, and she had buried her brother a couple of weeks ago, and she was just really down and didn't know where to go for help.  Well, we have an appointment with her today and I'm excited!  It just shows me that God knows.  And He loves every single person.  So he kicked us off the bus to speak to that lady who needed it that day.  He's so great!
