Man this week was one of the best yet! Lets get to it.
So last Wednesday on pday The Elders from Wangaratta and Sheparton came into A-town (Albury) and we went bowling. Elder Knight spent like 60$ on and arcade game trying to win a rugby ball but he never got it it was hilarious.
Thursday we Traveled down to Melbourne with the Wang Elders to meet Elder Andersen! The meeting was at 9am Friday so we had to stay the night Thursday since it takes 4 hours to get there.
So Friday Morning the WHOLE mission went to the office for Elder Andersen to speak to us, this is very rare bc even the missionaries from Tasmania flew in. So anyway man Elder Andersen is THE MAN. He totally pumped us up and you can just feel when an Apostle of the Lord is speaking to you, the spirit was so strong. Also during the same meeting the former Prime Minister, Tony Abbott spoke to us. He isn't a member but has always admired us. Then after we just did some missionary work in the city till the fireside with Elder Andersen that evening. That was also so cool, it was a YSA fireside as well, so that was nice hah. Saturday we were able to go to the temple which was such a blessing! I haven't been in a few months. Then we were on the rode again back home. On the way we stopped at Glenrowan. This is a famous little town bc of a famous Aussie outlaw named Ned Kelly. Ned Kelly is a dope guy look him up if you want. Anyway.
Monday was also a great day! We did some door knocking in a very nice neighborhood, which is usually very low success but i think its fun. It was low success until we met a guy who had just watched the Book of Mormon play... which slightly makes fun of Mormons but, the guy said he learned a lot about us and we ended up talking to him for a while. His wife just passed away a few months ago so we were able to share a little bit about the Plan of Salvation. He also was excited to take a Book of Mormon, he said "Wait is this the real deal Book?" haha he also said "YOu know if i had not seen that play i wouldn't have talked to you guys, but here we are." This guy was totally prepared for us i am excited about this guy!
Anyway i love you all and appreciate the support! I will leave you with a short, but powerful quote from our Mission President, "Always say your prayers, never give up."
