G'day family,



This Week was Aweful, and super awesome and crazy all at the same time. so on monday we went to teach this family of five from a country called Karen, and i've been praying for this family like crazy and we get there and something just doesn't feel right, it's the same feelin i got right before that one guy peter freaked out in the middle of a super spiritual lesson. ya and we were talking to the daughter and she was all jazzed about coming to church, then the brother comes in and says they would not like us to come around any more, he said they were buddhist and thats their religion. it was so confusing because they go to a church and are total christians the only problem is JW's go over there all the time and i think they poisened them against us but hey i think thats the JW's sole perpose to do to us. they are my Lex Luther in missionary Work. Then after that the next day we went to colleen (our soon to be newest member of the church) we tuaght he about recieving strength through prayer and the spirit was so strong i figured she was gonna get over smoking for sure. she knows it's true and everything but then the next night we get a call from a ward member and they say she doesn't want us around anymore. What!! how could this be! we've spent so much time with her, she loves us ughhh!! The work is so tough. but eh that's why i love it. that was the bad part of the week then the next day we call this girl who had called the office to contact missionaries, she siad she wants to be taught and to go to our church and also her friend does too. how great of a blessing is that. then also we found a couple more investigators that are solid as!. Our Sri Lankin couple were teaching said they'd be baptized if they get an answer to her prayers, oh it was wonderful, our week just kept getting better from there. i Also spoke in sacrament on the Book of mormon and the ward is now starting to get moving. and then to bring this wonderful joyride to a firey ball driving off a cliff i got a call last night telling me to pack my bags i'm getting emergency tranfered out of bendigo, (thats the bad part) but my new companion will be Elder Zabriskie (thats the most awesome thing in the world) i'm in shock i don't know what to think. i don't want to go but elder Zabriskie (my MTC comp) is like my best friend out here i love him we'll have such a blast. so thats my crazy week. i'm going back to melbourne YAY!!! i'll miss BENDIGehttO. but thats about it HAPPY anniversery Chad and Christy. love you all take care
