Hello
everyone I hope you all had a great week this week! Sorry for the late response We traveled up to the northern
territory with President and Sister Marquis for the week and did meet and
greets with those zones! We were up in Darwin on Tuesday until Thursday so it
was great to be up in Darwin again and see all of the missionaries up there. We then went down to Alice Springs on Thursday and
did the meet and greet with that zone and we were able to proselyte up there!
Working with the aboriginals is great. The kids bring you so much joy because
they are so happy and love the missionaries. One of them was running around
trying to shoot me with his broken half toy gun. It is neat to see how
they find joy even in poverty and I feel they have even more joy than most
people not in poverty. After Alice springs we came back and did the meet
and greet with Modbury and Marion zone on Saturday all day. That was a pretty
long day.
We then went to church on Sunday to be surprised with heaps of
Americans and it turns out that the BYU dance team was visiting for a
conference they were going to participate in and so the head lady was looking
for an American flag to bring to the ceremony because they forgot theirs. It
was funny because we had one at our flat and after church we were able to
give them our flag to wave at the ceremony for their conference in Adelaide,
you got to love American pride! Then yesterday we had Firle and City Zone meet
and greet and that was another long day, but I love the city zone so it was good
haha! They actually were all great meet and greets because it helped me learn so much about other missionaries
that I had no idea about. It is cool to see that we all have our own stories
and that we are all writing our own story. Seeking how their stories panned
out so far was such a great experience and I just love the assignment I have to
be able to work with all of the missionaries in the mission! It is such a privilege and I have learned a lot so far! But I hope you all have great week
and I Love You All!!

Hey
everyone I hope you all have had a great week this week! Mildura drove down for their meet and greet on
Tuesday and we spent the second half of our day in that zone conference. A
cool part of all of the zone conferences was the food oh it was so good! Just
kidding, the food was still good but the best part was learning more
about the missionaries! Then for the remainder of the week we had transfer
planning and lots of meetings that we attended. We were pretty full for most
of the days planning out transfers with President and sister Marquis! It was a
great experience being a part of their first transfer planning! We had some time
on Friday to go out and proselyte so that was very good to be able to do that.
Then on Saturday we attended city meeting and had a lesson with one of our
investigators Henry. It was good to be able to teach a lesson because it has
been a while since we have had the opportunity to do that. We also got to attend some of the city baptisms, it was good to be able
to watch and see and hear their experience! On Sunday we attended church
and after ward got everything ready for today's transfers and last night we
had the transfer call. We were
able to get a lot of things done, so it should be a very exciting new transfer!
I hope you all have a great week and I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
