Teaching Jimmy

July 8th 2013:
We have been teaching a guy named Jimmy and he seems to be going really good. We have a date for him to be baptized and I think it will be on 21st July. So we still have a wee bit to teach him before he gets baptised then but he is going great!

July 15th 2013:
This week has been good. We have been seeing Jimmy and getting him ready for baptism which is going to be next sunday.  Jimmy is a wonderful young man, and I am happy that he has made the choice to be baptized and to be apart of thy church.  He did mention yesterday that he wants me to baptized him, so I am a wee bit nervous as it will be my first time baptizing someone, but it will be very exciting.

August 5th 2013:
Now unfortunantly we didn't have Jimmy's baptism, as something came up and he was unable to get baptised. But it's ok, I accept that. I know that he knows this is the true gospel of Jesus Christ. I am very grateful that I have been able to be apart of helping Jimmy draw closer to our Heavenly Father and learn and understand the gospel. The baptism might be next week instead but who knows if I will be able to be here with moves call coming up this week.

August 19th 2013:
I heard that Jimmy from my last area got baptized, and Elder Burt sent me a photo.  I am so excited to have been apart of the process of teaching Jimmy the gospel and I am so happy that he is now baptised. It would've been nice to have been able to witness it, but being in my new area, that's ok. I know there are many more opportunities ahead of me on my mission.

New Companion, Elder Burt.

So I know you all might be wondering what happened with my moves call this week, well Elder O'Bagy is leaving and going home, and I am staying in Liff, Dundee for another transfer. I will be getting a new companion and he will be district leader. His name is Elder Burt. He has been out on his mission less than me I think. And he is coming from Northern Ireland. So I will get to know him when he gets here on Wednesday. So next Monday I will be able to tell you a wee bit about him. I am excited to meet another missionary and maybe another lifelong friend.

I have been showing Elder Burt around Dundee. We have been seeing people, and teaching a few also. Elder Burt is a great missionary! He has a great personality. He is from Logan, Utah and has been out on his mission for 6 months. He came from Northern Ireland in a place called Omagh. He is great to work with and fun to be around. He can play a wee bit of guitar and piano. I think we are going to get along well, it's going to be a great transfer.

ELDER MEYER IS GOING TO...

SCOTLAND!

This week is transfers (moves), and Elder Meyer has been called to serve in Scotland, in a town called Dundee, just north of the capital Edinburgh.

"I know you all are wondering what happened with moves. Well, I will be moving to Scotland! I will be serving in a place called Dundee. Ahh, I have mixed feelings right now. I am excited to be going to a new area and going to Scotland but then at the same time I am definitely going to miss it here in Lisburn. I have come to love this area and love the ward members! Yesterday at church, I got a couple of photos with some of the families and everyone wished me luck. I will be leaving this Wednesday and travelling over on the ferry to Scotland. My new companions name is Elder O'Bagy. I don't know much about him, but I have heard that he has been out the same amount of time as Elder O'Rourke, so like a year and a half. I hear he is very talkative and funny. So hopefully everything works out with us. "

"Tonight Elder White and I will be going out to dinner with the young men which will be fun, spending my last moments with them. I was telling most people yesterday that I am defiantly coming back to Lisburn, I WILL BE BACK, hahaha. I am excited to show you guys around Scotland and Ireland one day after my mission. It is going to be great, you guys are going to love it. So yeah I am moving on, going onto Scotland. I love the Scottish accent! I have heard it is hard to understand, but after a while I might get used to it. Maybe it will be like learning a new language. I'm sure it will be very different to the Northern Ireland accent. Well, I have enjoyed serving with Elder White. He is a great missionary, I love him. We have had some great times together which I will always remember. So Elder White will be training a new missionary in Lisburn. I am excited for him, he will make a great trainer."

"I am grateful for all the friends that I am making on my mission and for the fact that after my mission, I will be able to go see them and hang out with them all. I am excited for the friendships that I have made. It is wonderful. Anyways, I better go and get myself packed and enjoy the last days in Lisburn."
