More pictures! 15 Sept 2013

Here's a couple new pictures.

Jungle Ball: ghetto basketball hoops in a court of grass. Yep, grass. Sweet.

A lady in our ward gave us these hats to wear when we're tracting.

 This is our dinner last night. I don't think the picture does justice to how big it is. It's about a half pound meat patty with cheese in the middle. Of course with a fried egg and barbecue sauce (Aussie style!). They were amazing.

 

G'day everybody!

This week it went from winter to summer in a couple days. It has been in the low thirties lately, which was a bit of a shock since it's been cool for a while now. I think my body wasn't ready for the weather change and I caught a bit of a cold. Just a bit of a runny nose and congestion and mild fatigue. I am finally feeling over it. It's not fun being sick as a missionary because you want to just go go go all the time and not rest but when you're not feeling well they always tell you the best thing for it is rest. But I'm better now and ready to get a good start to the week.

We are already halfway through the transfer. Unbelievable.

This week was a bit slow towards the beginning of the week (when I wasn't feeling well) but we had some good things happen. We found some pretty solid potential investigators, which we haven't got much of lately. At one door we met a single mother with two kids. We offered to help out and she asked a lot of questions about what we do as missionaries and what we sacrifice to be there. She was impressed how committed and dedicated we were to our cause. We taught her about the Book of Mormon and she accepted a copy. We helped her move a large sofa from one room in her house to another and she was very grateful for our help. She even referred us to a friend of hers. Once again, service opens doors.

General Conference next month! Can't wait!

Haha yesterday when we were tracting we knocked on a door a couple times and no one answered so we left. I decided to moon walk away from the doorstep. Just then I see a man peek at us through the blinds. You're welcome. It was pretty funny.

I hope you all know how much I love you and love and appreciate your letters! have a great week!
