This week was really good! We have a couple of Chinese potentials that we will be following up with in the coming week, but other than that, the work is really slow. Not to many chinese and not many aussies are interested. Australia is kind of a laid back place haha. All the shops close at 6 here! It's ridiculous!
But this week we had an amazing mission tour and Elder Haleck of the seventy came! So it was such a spiritual meeting and I loved it so much. I felt such love from my Savior Jesus Christ and I know that the hardships and trials that I have been experiencing really are going to refine me into the person that the Lord wants me to be. I would invite you all to do the same. Don't have tons of time today, but I know that hardships are the way that God helps us learn, grow, and learn to rely on him! Have a great week everyone!
Elder Jackson
The baptism didn't happen because we found out that he was never formally excommunicated and after some serious meetings with the Stake President and the Bishop through the past week they felt that he could be reinstated as an elder and that a rebaptism wasn't unnecessary. So, we are working on getting him to the temple now. He really has the goal to be sealed with his wife for time and all eternity. It is really cool to see his resolve and the things that he has been willing to change in his life to get there! Such a cool story!
Sounds like your valentines day has been a blast! Wish you all happy valetines day! Hahah sounds like a lot of candy was revieved and you all had a good old time. Holidays come and go in the mission. So it is kind of like no big deal. The biggest one was christmas and that wasn't even a huge deal haha. So it's kind of rough and I miss holidays and gathering with family...never thought I'd say that eh? ;) hahaha but it's all good! I'm only here for 2 years eh? Boat show sounds really good! hahah I really miss wakeboarding!!!!! It's ridiculious how much I took some of these fun recreational activities for granted. Like basketball too. I never play and I feel like that was always my "go to" outlet. It's hard. But I'm working on making prayer and scripture study my new outlet hahah. So that's promising eh?
I got your package! Thank you so much! I love the hi chews hahaha. Also funny story. In January when you sent me the one with tomato paste in it, I was like "What is she thinking? I don't need tomato paste" So I left it in my flat in sunnybank and then brought everything else to gold coast. then I got out that Spagetti sauce mix like on day 4 and it called for tomato paste and i was like.....ohhhhhhhh. Hahah now I get it. So maybe when I get back to Sunnybank eh?
