I guess the most exciting thing that happened to me this week was eating pavement. Not in the sit down eat a meal kind of way, but the face planting hard kind of way.
Sister Crawley and I are legends at having fun. We need to be because of rude people. I digress. I was making up a rap on account of my life long dream of being a white girl rapper (there's still time, people). As we were crossing the street, I assumed the sidewalk was closer than it was so I stepped up onto what I thought was the sidewalk but was actually the ground.
However, my momentum pushed me forward and I went down.
Down towards the ground...with hands in pockets.
They got out in the nick of time, just as I landed so I didn't crush my face.
Hallelujah.
We got to go into Belfast to be companions with Sister Reed while she waited for her new comp. We headed to the American Candy Co.! Mannnn everything is expensive haha. It's like 7 pounds for a jar of peanut butter which is like $13. So I got a Reese's big cup..because it's almost the same. And Reese's, amiriiiiiite?
We went out to lunch with Elder and Sister Lorimer who are L E G I T. Yeah. So cool. Elder Lorimer is the man who created the idea of the "Trek" that you go on in your home ward when you dress like pioneers. What a boss.
We taught Maggie who is from Bulgaria. She seems ready for the gospel so we are excited. She loves how she feels when she reads the Book of Mormon and it's amazing that she is able to recognize it!
I love this work. I will probably continue to wake up thinking "I'm a missionary? I'm in Ireland?" every day until I return home but until then, I'm making the most of it. I'm so grateful to be on the earth with the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. I know He is my Savior and that He lives!
