"I Have Been Banished!!!!!!" Week 38

So transfers was this week and i got the news that i was going to Port Maquarie and the other missionarys were all like -you're being banished! You won't see other missionaries for months! So i was pretty excited actually haha. Well i am the driver and man it was a long drive.  We left at like 12am from Sydney and didnt get to the flat till around 6! it was such a pretty drive though. Lots of kangaroos running, or i guess hopping, along side the car and stuff it was so cool. We live in a little place but it's actually pretty nice. We don't stay there too much though. Up here we travel around a lot and stay at member's homes and stuff. It's so rad! Like we can drive for hours and still be in our area. Its gonna be a fun time.

So the work is going good. I am gonna miss the city! everyone was crying and so i cried and looked like a big wimp hahah. I love emm all. 

So some good news we got a text from the assistants this morning and it was a forwarded message. I read it and it was from Dawn. She hadn't had a phone for 2 weeks and had been so slammed with work. She said she is so sad she missed saying goodbye to us. She is quitting her job so she can meet with missionarys. She will be baptized in a week or 2. Im so happy for her. ill miss her though. She said she would come visit me in my new area but i think she will take it back when she finds out where i am ahah. 

There isn't too much to report on for the week. We did smash the work the last week though.  We have 2 other investigators who will be baptized in the next 2 weeks and now dawn so that makes 3! im pretty bummed out i wont be there but its so awesome to have been able to teach them. I love being a missionary so much. Me and Elder Leak went to the sydney zoo our last p day in the city and it was so lame haah. i saw cooler things in claremont meadows but it was still fun cause he payed for me!

Up here in Port we wear like jeans and all that instead of dress pants and its just so cool. Its the most beautiful area in the mission. We are allowed to go to the beach and everything! just not in the water of course. 

Its just us 2 up here. We are a couple hours away from the next set of missionarys haha. Its so insane. We dont do any district meetings or anything, we just do calls every now and then. Its gonna be a interesting experience. it kinda reminds me of my first area in west virginia! except there are kangaroos everywhere here and its so pretty.

Only old people live here though haha. And its hard to get aussies to listen to us.  They are a hardened bunch of people.

My companion is from brisbane and he is a cool guy. He has been out for 5 months now. Im his second companion. we are gonna get along awesome. He is a crack up

I will send you all some pics next week of the new area! love you all!
