May 25 2020 I just need to think of a subject line then I can send it...

 Heyyy not too much to write about this week but I promised myself I'd send something every week for rest of mission so here we are....

We had some more VIRTUAL EXCHANGES! I was able to "be" in Cork and Tralee this week. It was like one of those virtual reality video games... except for it wasn't. Haha I'm really just trying to make it sound cooler than it was. It was great. We got some cool pics from it thanks to the filters on messenger.✌🏼

We mailed Michael a book of mormon and his reaction was priceless!! I've never seen someone so excited to read the word of God. He said it was a gift he would "treasure forever." It made me ponder about my own experience with the book of mormon. Do I truly treasure the truths found in it? As I've read it this past week I have had more gratitude for all who participated in the making of this book. I'm grateful for the faithful Nephites who in many cases risked their lives writing down their incredible experiences so we could read them today. I'm grateful for Mormon and Moroni and their efforts in compiling and preserving this record. I'm grateful for Joseph Smith who had the faith to translate it into English hundreds of years later. And I am most grateful for a loving God who does not give up on his people, who knew that we needed this book at this time. 

Or in other words... the church is true and the book is blue✌🏼 Love you all!

Until next week!
