G'day Mates!
Transfers have come and gone again. Me and Elder Christiansen are
still companions! Yeah! We were pretty excited to hear the news
because the assistants before were saying they were going to have to
split us up. We're having a lot of success and we're especially
excited to both see John Munday prepare for his baptism in March. We
had two baptisms this weekend!! Woooo! Melesia Hufanga and Angel Lole
both got baptized on saturday. It was a massive baptism. There was a
huge feed afterwards. A couple other people the other elders in our
ward got baptized too so 4 people in the Parramatta ward were baptized
this weekend. This ward knows how to do missionary work.
Elder Stringam has completed his 2 years. Crazy! His family was there
with him at transfer meeting. Then for lunch his family took me and
Elder Christiansen out for lunch. We went to a local Kebab shop. It
was delicious. It was so weird being with Elder Stringams family! But
so fun. He's got a great family. Hopefully the Stringam and Nelson
families will be able to meet up sometime. The Christiansen family
will have to come too :).
I finally got over my flu I had and its been great to get back into
the work. We've got some great investigators. One miracle we had this
week happened on saturday. So we try to find new investigators every
week. We hadnt found any this week. So on saturday night when I was
feeling better we knelt in prayer and asked Heavenly Father to guide
us to find a new investigator. So we had a few potentials in mind and
then we went out looking. We followed up on a couple addresses I had
and man every one of them was FAKE! LIARS! haha man it was rough but
we decided that we would tract a couple houses near one of the
potentials I had. An Indian fella answered the door named Richi and he
is so awesome. He was way interested and so was his friend. We found
two new investigators in those 30 minutes we had to find a new
investigator last week. It was a great testimony builder for me. I
know that God answers prayers. Sometimes, according to HIS will,
almost immediately!
We had a special visitor a couple weeks ago that I didnt tell you
about! Elder Neil L. Anderson of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles came to
our mission! It was such an awesome experience. He was actually
supposed to go to the Brisbane mission but since its so flooded there
he couldnt fly in. He visited us instead and we had a great visit. He
is definitely an Apostle. His insights and testimony were inspiring. I
know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the only
true and living church upon the face of this earth. I love you all. I
hope you all had a great week full of smiles and laughs. We have
plenty of reasons to rejoice! Especially to know the Great Plan of
Happiness.
