Moving on! Things here are amazing. We've met so many people. One man we met is named Malaki (prounounced jush like in the Book of Mormon). We tracted into him and had a couple good conversations at the door and he requested to keep the Book of Mormon we gave him. He is very knowledgeable and is always seeking to expand that knowledge.
We also met another man named Ronan. We tracted into his house and taught him the restoration when he let us in (the first time we've been let in right off the street to teach). It turns out that he was married but it didn't work out and (he says) his wife basically fell out of love with him. It's a hard life; he has epilepsy and takes 15 drugs to keep himself "normal". He has a bible but has never read it because of how hard it is with his epilepsy. When we taught him he seemed to soak up the truth and was not only amazed but believed much of what we taught him. I have confidence that God will continue to bless him so that he can develop in the gospel.
Another person we met was named Allan. He answered the door and we spoke for a brief moment. He didn’t seem all that interested but luckily, his "special" brother-in-law came over and introduced us and wanted to show us his medals. So while we were waiting I felt prompted (though it was awkward) to ask if it was okay if we stepped inside while we waited, he said yes. So it turned out that Phillip (his bro-in-law) had performed in the Special Olympics and won a gold and silver medal. It was really cool to shake a gold medalist's hand. After we had developed a friendship based off of that we testified of the importance of our message and how it unified the family and then we asked if we could come back to which he replied we could (an uncommon occurrence in Ireland). However I have no doubt the spirit will touch their hearts when we teach the restoration.
Well, I think that's all I have to say. The work is going forward. I am learning much about my strengths, and even more about my weaknesses. I hope to come back a better person than I left.
