Adventures of Isaac the Great

  Summer has officially started here in the Aussie land of Wangaratta (I accidentally said I went to Werribee). We have been able to see and talk to more people now that the summer holiday has started. I definitely was able to see the hand of the lord with one potential  new friend. While we were doing a service he actually came to us and started talking with us. Which is something that is very rare for up here. A few weeks ago we went on a hike which unfortunately made me realise how out of shape I am. I did make it to the summit though and the view was pretty good. I gave a talk two Sundays ago. The branch president simply said to talk about something uplifting. I decided to base mine off of a talk by President Uchtdorf from October 2011 titled "you matter to him" I'm glad that I've learned how to use the scriptures when I teach or talk because it makes it so much easier to be guided to whichever scripture best fits. As a side note the magpies are starting to swoop ...

  I love the area of Cranbourne and the people here. I'm sad to leave but the great thing is that i feel like I've left the area stronger than i found it. We are still struggling to get a day for baptism for Enoch. Unfortunately the fact of the Area is that everyone seems too busy for us, and too busy for the Lord, prioritising sports and work over the salvation of themselves and their family. Elder Tengu and i were able to find five new people over the exchange. And that was really good. I also better learned the principle behind find when you teach and teach when you find. We were visiting a grey dot (old referral) and while That person wasn't interested we talked to a lady who was walking by. And we were able to meet her daughter and son in law.they accepted a BOM from us and even suggested that they might join the Church. One way that I've seen the hand of the lord is through elder Tengu despite the hard things he's gone through, he continues to grow the mission...
