This week Was good, but i'm having a minor time remembering anything that has happened this week. it flew by and not much has happened. Cool thing that happend this is we had Zone conference it was way good, we got to meet the President way more. we had a whole lot of awesome trainings. Um we taught quite a few of nepalese families which was pretty good. one thing thats pretty lame is i have 11 recent converts in this ward which i care for a lot and some of them are not getting the support from the ward that they need and i can't see all of them every week and it's getting really tough to keep thiem active, so i'm hounding the ward for some support and it's like kicking rocks but i gotta "kick against the pricks" as the scriptures say, someday they'll move. um i Wrote you all a long as letter this week i'll be sending it soon that fill you in on all that jazz ofthe mission. so not to sound repetative i'll save it and tell you all to wait. But the awesome thing of the week as well is WE GOT OUR CAR!!!! it was the best day ever. i'm so happy we can teach SO many more people. but other then that all is well i'm happy and Trying to fight off the trunkie. love you all be good.

G'day Family.


This week was alright, it went so Fast. Partly because most of the missionaries in the area spent it sleeping. so on Tuesday my Comp got really sick so he slept then another missionary got sick so he satyed with my comp and i went out and worked, then i got sick (just a fever) on Thursday. and this carried us allt the way until saturday untill we were all back to the plate. We're all still coughing up storm but the worst has past and that wasn't even that bad. But on thursday because we half the missionaries in the Area were sick we didn't get a lot of work done so Elder Mulitalo and I went out with a determination to make up for the lost time. it was so much fun we ran from person to person teaching and asking them if they want to learn, i met so many cool people most not interested but some of them were keen as on us coming over so next week should yeild some good results. Another cool thing we did this week is we toured a Siekh (seek... it's a religion, the ones who wear turbans) temple it was way weird they totally ahd a Ramiumptom (book of mormon look it up ) so hilarious and the gave us free food, kinda buh!, but they gave us free siekh jewelyry it was so awesome. but i think thats it for this week. i hope you warm weather is great, pray for me, i love you all.

G'day Family,

This week has been way good. so we started this week with really nobody to teach and we decided to take action and do things a whole new way. we set out plans and promised heavenly father that if we work hard to meet these goal that he would give us certain blessings. we had also made plans to talk to over 1000 people (outside of planned activities...like street contacting) over the next six week and a whole heap of other goals. we named this new plan of action "Wudonga" it's an aboriginal word meaning... i have no idea! but we say it to pump ourselves up and to go get these lost sheep. and it totally work we found like three families to teach and a few seem very promising. a few came to church yesterday and they are from Nepal. really awesome people and the people seem to just be piling up. also there was this one Family, they mostly members the mom and son are and we just recently baptised the daughter (Moorisha) the fijians. but the dad is a Jehovah Wittness and he is very nice but always leaves when we come over but this week he came out we taught him of the book of mormon and he accepted one (which JW's arn't allowed to do) it was way exciting and we taught him and built a good relationship of trust with him. i hope to be able t teach hm in the comming days. this is the begining of a new surge of baptism and i'm happy to be the driving force. Also our new Mission President came i havn't spoken with him yet but we meet him in two days and i'm excited. I't july Holy cow!! well Don't let seeing mikey make you think i'm arund the corner. i've got donkey yonks. but I love it. Be good family. seek to better yoursleves always. much love..
