Hello everyone! This is Elder Jackson, from down under! Things are going great in our area and we did some amazing things this past week with Elder Wood (my comp) finishing out his mission strong! We committed Claire to be baptized on the 28th so that is great, then we had steve, queenie, and claire all at church and they all seemed really solid so that is fun! We just have to get over the commandment hump with all of them and then it should be good. Hope that that all goes well hahah. Looking to meet with them this week! I'm excited to keep going and progressing!
This week was absolutely crazy! I drove for the first time in Australia and when elder Fu (we were doing tradeoffs) gave me the keys, I walked to the wrong side of the car. He started hyperventilating and I started laughing. We were pretty sure that we were going to die. Oh well, here I am! hahah But that was fun! Also, the tradeoff with him was really fun! He is the only other elder that elder wood has trained and I was living with him and elder Taylor and so we are all really close! So it was a great week and it was really hard to say goodbye. Elder Fu and Elder Taylor are the new AP's and now Elder wood is gone. I had to move the flat across the neighborhood so that was a good time! I am still in my area though and now I live with elder Potter and we are both going to be training next transfer! I guess it's sink or swim around here cause they are giving me a brand new missionary! I'm so nervous! I don't think that I know what I'm doing haha. But I have faith that President Henderson is called of God and this is His will. So I hope that it all works out! And btw, I'm going to have to figure out how to drive soon cause I'm assigned to drive to the mission home all the way in the city tomorrow, so that should be interesting. I sure hope we don't die haha.
Also, I got to teach our weekly english class the other day and I'm not a very qualified teacher. I think I might be the permanent teacher now that Elder Taylor is gone, so I guess we'll see how that goes! haha If any of you have any teaching tips, I'd love to hear them (thats you mom). hahaha but I think that's about it for this week! I had a crazy week and now i'm stoked to get settled into a new routine with a new missionary! I love you all and pray for you! Have a great week!

PS. This week I am ponderizing 3 Nephi 18:20. I know that as we pray to the Father with earnest intent He will provide. I know that it takes faith and a belief and then action! I hope that we can all act to become more like Christ this week! have a great one!
