Zone Conference and Chapel Cleaning (October 29, 2023)

 Zone Conference was really good with a focus on the atonement. The train ride down took an extra long time as there was some delay on the main track as well as a tree that fell on the city line that we needed to take so we had to take a bus through central Melbourne at rush hour. This equated to adding about 2 hours to our travel time. This week we were able to get into contact with and invite several people to come to church this Sunday but none of them showed up unfortunately. We were able to contact Brother Derrmot who we haven't been able to meet, he's a less active member but we talked to him for a bit and he showed us his hat collection and about 10 pairs of leather boots. We recently learned that our friend Rachael will be moving all the way down to Foster for her job, today. We know that she will still grow down there but it's hard to see someone who's progressing so well leave. We had a prayer with her over the phone and left her with a small testimony. Right now we are very far north and Foster is very far south.


Saturday we helped to clean the font in the chapel and while getting cobwebs behind the curtains I found a nice size (dead) spider. Which I have attached a photo of as per request from back home.

The second photo is what the Aussie possums look like. this one is hiding out in a log.

Our Baptism (September 15, 2024)

Image
  We had a baptism this Sunday so if you read any part of this, that will be the most exciting bit.. It's at the bottom. This week was a bit slow but I would still say it was good. One of us wasn't feeling well so getting out was a bit hard. Tuesday we had our District Council which we have each week. I gave our skills training about finding people to teach, I'm not sure how well I did but I felt like it was okay. Wednesday we had an exchange I was with an elder named Elder Biesinger and for his exercise in the morning he likes to run, so we went for a run that morning and it made me realise just how unfit I am currently Thursday we did our weekly planning and we worked on the program for our friend's baptism (more on that later) we also called/ messaged everyone who we needed to have participate in the baptism. On Friday we went with our district leader for Erwin's interview (Erwin is our friend). I was really excited but I also started to get nervous because I was...

The Past Few Week (June 10, 2024)

  This has been one of the best transfers I've had. Being with Elder Danielson has been really good. Especially because he wants to work hard his last transfer. I think up to this point I want to care less what people think and I'm thinking about how Joseph Smith was told his name was to be had for good and evil. And I want to put forward my effort to keep pressing forward and living every day like its the day of the second coming. On Tuesday's, while we're on out way back to our area, and that has been going really well. I also think that it shows that we want to work even though we know that's what we want to do it's good for people to see that desire to work. Last week we were going back and stopped by a member who gave us a referral for one of his friends but he didn't seem interested at the time. On Thursday we made a lot of calls which made for an interesting experience there were a few people who weren't even who we were looking for. And Thursday ...

Horse on the Road

  Our friend down in Benalla, Michael still seems to be quite interested. We were going to invite him to church this week but he is down in Melbourne for a couple of weeks. We also had a lesson planned with our friend Robert but for some reason he won't answer phone calls or texts and we were unable to see him this week. On Friday we were able to meet with Geoff although he is having a hard time medically we were able to say a few words on the atonement and how he is not alone in his pain.  After meeting with Geoff we ran into an older gentleman who had some questions regarding the relationship of the Bible and The Book of Mormon which we were able to show a few scriptures that helped to show the Importance of having both together.  Last Monday we were driving to Wagga on for our district council on tuesday and everything was going smoothly. We were about 30 minutes from the flat in Wagga, when another car flashed his lights at us. It was at about 9.00 so it was really da...
