G'day Family


So this Week I am "moving on up, to the East sy-hide" hahahaha maybe. so last night i got the Call that my 7 and 1/2 month sabaticle has come to an end I am being transfered, i'm not sure were to, but I am gonza and super excited, i mean i was so done with this area, i squeezed the juice out of this area, like three months ago, I only love it so much cause of the awesome converts i have they were the only thing keeping me hapy and going but now i'm gonna get a fresh new area to blast it to pieces for the last few months i'm here. I'm glad i finished strong, we had heaps of success this week we still have three people set for baptism and we had them all there at church this week, i'm glad i'll leave this place actually rolling and not dead as. Joe Was sweet this week she's really keen,a dn sincere in her learning. and she is way genuine, when we schedule we know the appointmment will go through and if it doesn't she calls and tells us another time for us to come. we still go some things for her to get over but i hope the other Elders are in the right position and worthiness to bring her the blessings she deserves. Not much else happened this week, i kinda just mozied until transfer calls came, i got to see a lot of my converts and say goodbye. also i realy hope my next companion will actually want to run in the morning, i went from running like crazy to just trying to roll this mountain of a companion out of bed on time. so i'm pretty jazzed to get some one slightly physically active cause i've put on a few kgs this last nine weeks. um well thats about it for the week. i'll tell you all about my new companion and area next week. Oh and One more thing.... So this Week Our old Mission President, President Lee suffered a Serveir Heart attack and i Would just ask for you ghuys to remember him in your prayers. Thank you family i love you and and take care.

G'day

Family this week was slow and really good at the same time, we only had a few lessons with people but man did we make them count, We taught this Aussie lady 50 years old and we taught her last week it was Joe, you should know all about her but she is a heavy as smoker and we were concerned she wouldn't want to continue but when we taught her the gospel and also the plan of salvation she was so excited and we set a baptismal date for the coming weeks. she wasn;t able to make it to church but still she's wonderfull and it's nice to teach some people who speaks our lanuage. then we have Suman and his family we met him a few weeks ago he said he and his family will be bap't if we got him son in school so we did and no were rounding him and his friends family up its way good but they're pretty dodgy with our appoinments. but things are going good. Also we had our first President interviews and they were awesome i love our new president completely different than President Lee i loved him but man President Liffereth is the man. he's so cool, he loves my ragged shoes it shows that i work, i'm pretty weird as you guys know and he understands me perfectly hahaha, and laso they are such new missionaries we taught sister Liffert how to talk to people so funnny us teaching them. um thats about it i'm sure so many other things happened to me but thats all you guys get hahahaha, next week are transfers so emails might be llate, but don't fret i still love you all be good and pray always
