This week has been Top Notch!
As you know, on
Saturday of last week we got our mini missionaries, I was paired with
Elder McCarthy from Cork. It was a major blessing serving with someone who is
so new to the church and has such a desire to serve God.
Our week together went
something like this;
Sunday: We had Stake conference in
good Ole Dublin and got to hear from Elder Mendosa of The Seventies from
Spain.
Monday: On Monday we
traveled down to Sligo and had and amazing P-day inside and beautiful canon. We
had a lot of fun swinging on vines; I was the spitting image of Tarzan! Later
on we took a peaceful walk along the beach, wouldn't trade those times for
anything!
Tuesday: We had a great district
meeting where we focused on these three questions. What lack I yet? What must I do? Or what am I willing
to do?
Therefore what? I would recommend asking
yourself these questions. It was something that really helped me to figure
out where I am and where I want to be. Heavenly Father will show us the
way to get there if we are genuine and willing to make a change.
Wednesday: Wednesday was
filled with classic chapping, and ended with a life changing visit to the
chiropractor!
Thursday: We had a lot of really
great lessons on Thursday; the first was with Gary and Charlotte. As
always we had a wonderful time with them! On Thursday I had a lot fun
playing with their cute little baby Rosie! she is the sweetest little babe in
town! It made my heart melt. Charlotte is progressing so well and everything is
looking good for her baptism this Saturday. We are actually going to go
see them right away after this email! Later we had a heartbreaking lesson
with a heroin addict. It was a very humbling experience to say the least.
The state of this women was something I have seen only a very few times in my
life, and something you would only expect to see in a scary movie. Yet I felt a
fraction of the love our Heavenly Father has for her. I understood in that
moment that every soul truly is precious in the eye's of God. His
love is perfect, and every living thing can be healed through the atoning
sacrifice of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Friday: Friday was pretty
stellar, for the first half of the way I went on splits with the other mini
missionary Elder King, we had a grand time dancing up to people's doors while
we were chapping!
Saturday: On Saturday morning
our two young lads were off, back to Dublin and Cork. They grow up so fast!!
Later that day we traveled down to Athlone and had a lesson with Robert, then
finished the night with a solid dinner appointment!
Sunday: Sunday we got an
unbelievable amount of rain, but there was sunshine in my soul when Robert,
Patrick, and Charlotte all joined us at church! We had a great sacrament
meeting focused on Joseph Smith and the Restoration that I really enjoyed
too!
Well
Folks, that about sums up my week. I love and miss each of you. Thank you for
your love and prayers!
Love, Elder Brycen Cluster
May we press forward with a steadfastness in Christ
having a perfect brightness of hope, til our work is done! (2 Nephi
