G'day Everyone!
So this week was a slow and steady week! I am loving my mission so much. Its starting to really warm up down here as we head into summer though, so thats gonna be rough! Luckily though I am allowed to drive still, so we are back on the road!
Lets see...... On monday we went out at 6 to start working and it started dumping rain and lightning and wind so we walked back to the flat haha. We still were not cleared to drive yet so we got trapped inside for the night. So we did some planning and had a movie night and watched Joseph Smith prophet of the restoration!
On tuesday we walked to heaps of less active members homes and tried to find some new investigators by knocking doors and talking to people on the street but it was a slow day. No one really even opened their door! So not too much to report on there! We did meet this one less active man and had a good conversation with him. We commited him to come to church and he came! So that was awesome.
Wednsday we met with this sweet less active dude from Hungary, his accent is so cool haha. We helped resolve some of his concerns and had an awesome chat with him. We are gonna start seeing him weekly and hopefully get him back to church! Then that night we had dinner at Paul and Mels and man i love that family soooooooo much! i want them to be baptized more than anything! We see them like 2 times a week so that will be good. They are slowly but surely comming along!
Thursday we got cleared to drive so we were back on the road! We went down to Comboyne and saw some people there and we went to Wachope and then to this member that lives on a couple hundred acres out in the bush and had dinner there. It was a good day. We worked with a part member family where only the husband is a member and I was playing with the kids while we were there . We had a good discussion with the family and all that and they came to church for the first time in forever! It was great.
Friday was a good day too. We met with this lady who was intrerested in our church and had a great restoration discussion. She loved it all and she is super keen to learn. She texted us yesterday and said she had started reading the book of mormon and that it was the most beautiful book she has ever read. She was asking us for more chapters to read and said she was also gonna start from the beginning! Over the course of my mission so far the power of the book of mormon has been confirmed to me again and again. i know that it is true. The power and influence for good it has on people's lives is undeniable. It is such an incredible book of scripture.
Saturday we were all over the place but we had a good day! We helped a member put together their bed because they are ancient... i dont know why they bought a new bed but they did so we helped haha. Then we went up to Kempsey and saw some people up there, did more service lifting things and what not, and then we went trick or treating haha- we dressed up as missionaries and knocked on people's doors!
Sunday was a great day! Fasting takes on a new meaning though when you have 5 hours of tracting in the hot sun before dinner time haha. it is such a spiritual pick me up though, i LOVE it.
Well love you all heaps!
