Good ole Ireland.

Eireann. <---Ireland, in Irish. (pronounces like "erin"

People swear here like nobody's business. It's just their culture. And everyone is Catholic. And everyone drinks either tea or coffee (but that's a European thing in general).

The wind was crazy this week because we were getting the last bit of a hurricane. We were walking and talking to people and this guy gets blown off his bike by a gust of wind. LITERALLY, BLOWN OFF.
and lands right next to us.

Dunnae worry, he is fine. Not interested in our message but oh well. It was pretty funny and he was super nice.

Then, we walked into a shop quickly to write something down because we couldn't in the wind  and we witnessed something.
This woman walked in, picked up an ottoman and waltzed right out of the shop.
Sister Stevenson and I  =  o___O "uhh..did she just...steal that?" 

We weren't exactly sure what to do because neither of us had ever been in that situation before. We talked to the store workers and one tried to run after her but we aren't sure if he caught her. It was kind of a crazy day.

We also taught our German friend, Kevin! He is the coolest. Pray for him!

AND. Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles came to our mission. Well, he came to Ireland.

Wow.

I feel so blessed to have been in his presence and to have felt the very real Priesthood power and Spirit he carries. 
He talked a lot about how we can't just be good teachers, we need to be GREAT teachers. 
We'll get there :)

I'm happy to be in Cork for the winter though... we were up in Dublin and we were freeeeezing haha. Yay for 2 degrees warmer :)
