Two Weeks ago... (April 1, 2024)

 (The week prior to the 18th of march)


A good thing that happened this busy week was we were able to contact O'Ryan Miller who's been drastically overwhelmed with extra pressure from people like family and his pet dog. With his goal being, to keep them quiet. He told us that he'd be available in a few weeks so on our end we just have to remember him and keep in contact to set a time later to meet with him.
Mostly we were focused on our new friend Erin. She was very open to learn more, as things pertain our Church. She asked questions such as are we required to not have tatoos. We shared a couple of scriptures talking over how God loves both us and every person. We used a variety of scriptures with her and we feel we should focus some xtra effort on so we aren't over zealous and too forthright. Although, regardless we want to be a good influence in her life.

On Friday, one thing that we often do is play volleyball with the Tongans. This week however I felt like it was something that we shouldn't do this week. I wast sure why. But one thing that i felt we should do is do some weekly planning because we didn't have much time Thursday as we were at the temple. But while we were planning we got a call from Adam and he said that he was sorry he couldn't meet with us but he's really busy with working through his court case. We were able to let him talk and I think talking about it helped to calm him a little. And had we been at volleyball we would have missed the call. And I recognise that as a miracle.




Im going to be brief because i know its late. While on exchange I was able to learn how to let elder tonumaipea use what he knew to talk with and share with others even though he is still learning the language. I also learned that people will talk to you more when it is something they love that they are talking about. I already knew this but I was able to learn how to apply it

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...
