West Cork.. Best Cork?

Okay so apparently there were issues with myldsmail and nobody got my e-mails :( I'm so sorry! I wrote you all back! I will try to forward everything and send last weeks e-mail again. 

Wow. What an insane week. 

First lesson with a former investigator--

Him: "Can you have boyfriends?"

"Not here but at home, yes."

"Do you have boyfriends?"

We both say "Yes."

"Well, it was great to meet you."

SHAKES OUR HANDS- 

GETS UP-

AND LEAVES.

hahahahaha. 

The member with us was just like "Uh.. what just happened?"

hahaha we are still laughing about it. 

We went to West Cork which is BEAUTIFUL. I will attach photos. :)

We had this whole day planned out to borrow the elders car and go to West Cork to visit some less active friends and so we are driving and..

I get this feeling we shouldn't go. o___O

but.. but.. we planned this whole thing! And even had diet coke and chocolate in the car!

We'd driven about an hour so we pulled over, prayed and decided to drive back to see how we felt. But we had to use the toilet so we stopped in a little town called Clonakilty to find one.

This lady sees us in passing:

Her: "Hi!"

"Hello! How are you?"

she keeps staring at our badges

"Have you met missionaries before?"

Turns out she is a member that moved here about a year ago and has had no contact with the church. She has been praying for a year to find missionaries or members and WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT WE STOPPED IN THIS TOWN.

God is real. He hears our prayers. He will accomplish what He needs to - His work will not be frustrated!

AND WE GOT TO SEE INGRID. A member from Germany who lives at the very bottom of Ireland on an island called Baltimore. I've talked to her on the phone every week since I've been here and have developed such a friendship with her and we FINALLY got to go visit her!

I am so thankful to be a missionary! I know that Christ's gospel has been restored to the earth and that is our beautiful message to the world! It is the truth!

Love,

Sister Skagen
