G'day Family,

This week was a bit differnet than the lasts, because this one felt like an eternity but it was still pretty good none the less. first off i guess i'll tell you all tranfer news.... after much fasting a prayers Elder Fenochietti and myslef will be staying in the mornington area and we couldn't be more jazzed about that. we really really really hope we can die here (that means finish you mission) But as for our week We are Hammered as, due to fatigue. man we did so much this week. so One of the highlights/ worst part about the week was on friday we decided it would be a wonderful idea to hop on our push bikes and ride them all the way to end of the penninsula. wich was a 55 kilometer ride but hey what the heck mostly flat and along the beach the whole way and we were gonna visit some people along the way. man we got 20 kilometers into the trip and we were finished, already climbed like three huge mountains and then when we got to the flat beach paert we had a 35kmh headwind that stopped our progression it wqas ridiculous but after many tears and a lot of sweat we made it to the end of the penninsula dn it was amazing in the Bass straight there was a swell with like 25 foot waves it was mouthwatering hahaha and there was the coolest cliffs and old army barracks and man it was fun but the whole time our aching bodies knew we had to eventually ride back but we actually did the alternative and just hucked our bikes in the bushes to collect later and we hopped on a buss and took the hour trip home. but still completely woth it. but we were so sore and the next day we got up early and did soem yard service for our investagator, then we went to the kannar's house and mulched sticks for three more hours, if it was for anybody else i probably would have passed but they're the best so we trudgged on.... by the end of the day we were fnished, spent zero energy. and my body just gave up and at our tea appointment my nose just started pouring blood it was yuck but i servived and lived to type about it. thats about it for my week. starting my 2nd to last transfer today, thants crazy but fun to think about it. love you all be good and play safe.
