From the Emerald Isle

June came and went....

June has come and gone! At the end of the month, on our anniversary, we took the young sister missionaries and went for a trip along the Antrim coast. The McBrides took the young elders and off we went! We stopped at some waterfalls along the way... This wee one must be for the leprechauns!

They were very beautiful and got bigger as we went. It reminded me a lot of green Minnesota, without the mosquitoes!!



Elder Holt and Elder Manning enjoying the falls.....





It is always fun to be with the young missionaries. We're glad we can take them with us once in a while.







It was a delightful way to spend our 36th anniversary!


At the Centre this month we had a fun games night. Everyone enjoyed playing outside games.

The weather was beautiful and the boys took on the girls in the competition.









Another fun thing we saw this month was see the Tall Ships. There were six ships that sailed into Belfast. They were here for 3 days before they sailed to Waterford where there were 58 Tall Ships! We didn't get a chance to go aboard but we saw them from the motorway.....and took a picture! I wish we could have seen them with their sails up!









June was over with only one casualty....Elder Holt smashed his head against the wall playing basketball with the YSA.....







The YSA were pretty nervous about it, they thought I wouldn't let him play anymore or even worse, I wouldn't cook for them anymore!!! Needless to say, he was back on the court the next week!






We have been very fortunate since we have been on our mission. I fell once and skinned my chin and Elder Holt gets banged up every once in a while in BB.....other than that, no injuries!


















June has come and gone....
