Good bye Emerald Isle ... Hello Scotland

Dublin:

This past week I had a really cool experience.  Sister Yu stopped a man from Mexico while I was talking to someone else.  When I finished my conversation I heard her say, "My friend speaks Spanish!"  I was like uhhhhhh no I don't.  I tried to speak to him the best I could.  Then I told him that it was easier for me to understand Spanish than to speak it.  He said the same thing about English.  After that I was speaking in English and he was speaking in Spanish.  We understood each other completely.  We set up a time to meet with him and then he didn't show up hahah, still cool though.

SATURDAY MOVES CALL:  The worst.

Okay not the worst, just slightly annoying.  All of the elders got their moves call in the afternoon.  We had to wait *patiently* until 8:45 to get it.  We were on the bus and Sister Yu was told she would be going to Tralee.  She handed the phone to me and I was told that I would be leaving the Emerald Isle and going to Dumbarton in Glasgow zone to be with Sister Davis.  

Sunday was emotional.  I kept it together until so many people in the ward were coming up to me and telling me how much they would miss me.  Dublin took good care of me.  I will miss so many of the people there.  Also had to pack everything, yikes.  We had to leave so many notes and make sure the area book was up to date as much as possible since we were whitewashing out and the sisters coming in were new and 3 months.  

Monday:  The night before our STLs told us that they would pick us up to go to the bus station in the morning so I didn't have to take my luggage that far.  They said they would be there at 6:15.  They called us at 6:30 and said we just woke up...My bus was supposed to leave at 7 and it was a good 20 minute walk.  Sis Yu and I had to book it to bus station and got there in the knick of time.  We were so tired when we got there.  After that I was the only sister leaving the Republic, so I was companions with about 12 or so elders.  We took a bus to Belfast, from Belfast to the ferry, the ferry ride to Scotland, wherever we were in Scotland to Glasgow, and then drove from Glasgow to Dumbarton.  Got to my area at about 6:30.

At the bus station in Glasgow I was told that I would be covering two areas.  News to me.  So apparently we go up to a place called Oban on Monday and come back on Thursday.  The rest of the week is spent in Dumbarton.  I'm not really sure how it will work, but it will.

Oh also we get a car!  My companion doesn't have a license, so I will be driving the whole time.  On the wrong side of the road...on the wrong side of the car hhahaha.  It was so fun driving last night.

Last week is pretty much a blur because so much has happened in the past few days.
