Dublin is a hopping place! My new companion, Sister Wesenberg, is the BEST. She is from Puyallup, Washington, six foot four, was on the USU volleyball team, and has already received her bachelor's degree. With that information alone you can probably tell that she's an incredible, hardworking person. However, she has even more good traits. She is a phenomenal teacher, has a solid testimony of the Savior, a great knowledge of the Bible, and is one of the most optimistic people I've met. :) I feel like she is training me! We have had so much fun together already and have experienced many miracles.
We found five amazing new friends to teach last week, and two of them are over the age of 80. One woman, Mabel, just celebrated her 100th birthday! She is so sweet and has so many questions about the plan of salvation. We shared Alma 40:11-12 with her and she was so grateful that we shared it with her. Our other new grandma, Evelyn, is also amazing. We met her in an apartment complex as she was getting her mail. Sister Wesenberg and I both felt like she was in need of someone to talk to, so we asked if we could walk her home. She said yes and then invited us right in! She proceeded to give us a tour of her apartment and tell us all about her family. We talked about the gospel and what we do as missionaries. By the end she agreed to learn more and told us, "you gotta tell them that you found one!" 😂 Haha she's so funny. She gave us about 10 little oranges and some coconut butter. We are so excited to teach both Mabel and Evelyn some more.
Wasn't General Conference AMAZING? Holy cow. The Lord is furthering His purposes! We are so so excited for the new Come Follow Me at home manual and the new block schedule. It will be so amazing to see how it helps further the work and strengthen our testimonies in Christ. 😊 I'm so grateful to have a living prophet and apostles. I'm grateful to know that God has not left us alone to try and figure out this life. I know that Jesus Christ lives and that He is the one who leads this church. We are so blessed!
Thank you all for your prayers! I hope you all have a wonderful week! Go to the temple this week! I promise you'll have a spiritual experience as you do so!
Love you all,
Sister Morris 🌲
