St. Patrick's Day, 2 Baptisms and I'm staying in Dublin!

March 19, 2018

What a week! Pretty much the week was a slow week that sped up at the very end. The weather wasn’t the best and with all the tourist in town, finding solid people didn’t go very well! I went on exchanges with Elder Gibb who was and AP before this last transfer and is going back home tomorrow. Wow it was so good. He is a straight up legend in every way possible! I learned a lot from him and am very thankful to have gotten to know him this transfer.

This week was St. Pat’s week! The day before St. Patrick’s Day we had 2 Baptisms! Lula and Janete were baptized! They are both from Brazil and they are so amazing and I am thankful to have been a part of the next step in their life!! They both already have such strong testimonies and it is just amazing. To be honest, I am blessed to be a part of their journey!! I know that God did all the work and I was just there for it!

The following day was the BIG day! It was ST. PATRICK'S DAY, and it was really fun!!! We were told we were still working for the day but we would finish early at 6pm and to be honest I had such a good time finding people! I didn’t get to see the parade but we were really close and could hear things happening! It was sooooo cool. We had such a blast and saw a ton of things. We ended the night out right chilling at a members house, Sister Barbara Allen! She made us hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken then for dessert was ice cream, strawberries, apple pie and Rocky Road brownies.

Okay the moment of truth we got the transfer calls and....................I will be.............STAYING!!!! Yeah I am staying with Elder Valiati for another transfer and am soooo blessed and happy about it!!! This transfer is only 4 weeks so it will be short but so awesome!!!! Being put here I just want to be good. I want to be a son that my Father in Heaven is proud of. I am trying to work harder and harder so that I can give Him my all.

I love you and sorry for a short email!!! I am so blessed to be here and am looking forward to the Peaks and Valleys!!

Love,

Elder O'Connor
