The City "...it was scary at first but i felt the strength and the power and authority of my calling step in..." Week 30

Hello everyone! I have been transfered to the city. So i am right by the opera house and all that and man this place is crazy! there are just thousands of people all around me! We teach english classes once a week and we just go around and talk to people on the street. Our chapel is one of the floors in a giant sky scraper and the floor above it is called the teaching center! its where we tell people we talk to to meet us for there lessons! its pretty cool. we dont go and talk to people in there flats or homes they come meet us. Another cool thing is its a YSA ward so it will be a new experience! i will miss families though....mostly the little kids haha. they appreciate my magic skills! 

So we had a really cool experience! We were out walking around and we felt like we should try soap boxing! So we went and found a crate and went to a busy corner and i stood up on it and had a book of Mormon in my hand. with a loud voice introduced myself and began to bear my testimony of our Savior and the book of mormon. There were hundreds of people all around me and it was scary at first but i felt the strength and the power and authority of my calling step in and i was filled with courage. Some people laughed others yelled at us and swore at us, but some listened and when the walk signal came they didnt all leave. So i began to teach the restoration and i bore my testimony and stepped down. My companion got up and he answered any questions they had. It was a empowering and amazing experience. we have many people we are meeting to teach more who we will see later this week.

The city is almost overwhelming! there are so mant people and buildings and its just like nothing i have ever been around before we live in a tiny little flat with another set of elders. We literally dont get a single meal appointment ever because the ysa dont have any money. So they say missionarys here lose lots of weight. I love it though. Most of the people here are asians and have never even heard of Jesus Christ. i love it though because they are so willing to learn. I am gonna have to get used to this new way of doing things but im more than happy to do it.

The last couple of days in my previous area were hard ones. it was sad to leave those people. There were some people i had grown very close to. But it was nice cause i had breakfast lunch and dinner appointments the last couple days haha. 

Oh and also something super rad happened in my last area we saw two massive kangaroos in this field fighting! They were punching and kicking and all that stuff! i got a sweet video of it. 

I love you all
