G'day Family,
My week was quick but full of a lot of fun and exciting work in the city of Bendigo. so first off the zone leaders (elder Hathaway, from tooele, and Elder Toolson from sand diego) drove up to go on exchanges with us, we golfed for p-day and i got the top score, Watch out chad and Rob!! then Elder toolson and i went to work. and here is the deal elder toolson has been sick he has problems with his adrenal gland so he can only work like for two hours at a time then he's dead tired. so we nap and read and just rest all day then we go out... our appointments fell through so we decided to know this one house i saw a couple days ago where i saw aisians out side (missionaries like aisians cause they are humble and love to learn) so we go, they don't speek much english and it was tough buyt they want to learn, then as we are going to our car we find three more burmese people, we schedule an appointment, then we drive around the corner se another group so we pull over hop out and get them, we set up appointment to teach them, then as were walking a old investagator pulls over and says come over friday for a BBQ then after that we see two more people and get their info and address to teach them and this all happened in like ten minutes it was insane. we were laughing so hard cause it was just so easy. hahaha also this week we have mowed so many people's lawns we helped the retired minister lady she was crazy funny stories on her i killed a spider the size of chloe. then later on in the week Elder Tongsumrith and Elder LEausa came over to exchange. i was with leausa he is awesome he just took all the american candy and talked to poeple on the street offering pixysticks and what not hahaha it was funny and i also met my fisrt full blood aboriganie. oh and we got fed by these investigators from Sri LAnka and it was just an old couple so funny they fed us all this weird food and we ate with our fingers it was fun. for dessert they fed us this jelly called Agar Jelly look it up it's like eating a really weak earaser. a bit weird. ad last thing i almost died last night we were having burgers at a members last night and as i went to swallow my bite i felt my throut being sliced in half. so i just flipped and jammed my hand to the back of my throut to catch it before desended to my stomach to wreak major havok down there. and when i pulled it out it was a two in spiral peice of sharp sharp metal it was aweful. but i got it before it tried to shred my insides. it wasn't gracful but i got it. well family thats it for me this week christmas is coming and my christmas cards will be sent off soon so be on the look out i'm just sending a stack to mom and she'll sned um cause that'll save me heaps. well i love you all take care.
