We Made it!

We made it to Ireland! We arrived Saturday morning and spent the day in Dublin with the mission president's wife. The mission president was in London for meetings. We went to a fun park, toured the Guiness mansion, went to a Christmas market, and toured downtown Dublin. It was a busy but fun day. We were pretty tired....Sunday, we drove to our new area, Portadown in Northern Ireland. The ward was having ward conference so we met the Stake Presidency of the Belfast Stake. We spoke in Sacrament meeting.....the members were all very nice but some of them were hard to understand! We are staying with a member family until we can find a place of our own. Hopefully soon! Today, Monday, we went to Belfast for our district meeting. We took the Elders with us which was good since we had no idea where we were going. They stayed in Belfast so we were on our own to get home. We only got lost a few times!!! It's a little scary driving a new car on the left side of the road! Lots of round-a-bouts! The adventure has begun! We'll post pictures soon.
