Week 85 Split 'Em

June 25, 2019

What up!? What a great week down under. 

Wednesday was pday!! We were down in the city, so we explored there a little bit, not my place but it was interesting. Thursday I had exchanges and I went with elder tupai! Hes from USA but he's Samoan. We went to get lunch at a mall and ran into a member and they bought us lunch! Then since we felt like we had money, we went to this diner type place to get desert and you guessed it, a member paid for us. MUCH BLESSINGS. 

Friday we had our good ol district council meeting. Then we met up with this is referral. He wanted a BOM. Hes from Burma. He was really nice and I hope he progresses. 

Saturday we did service. Pulled weeads, split a lot of wood, and dug a trench by hand, it was really fun. same with Monday we did service basically all day.

Well that's about it, the work is great here! I have close to 4 months left !!! Love yall!!!!

Week 83 Drive & Thrive

June 11, 2019

Hey y'all anotha week anotha dolla, kinda ahaha. Anyway this week was crazy.

Thursday we had interviews with President Vidmar, OUR LAST ONE. How sad is that. Those took place in Craigie so we stayed there for the District council Friday, which was really nice. 

So we drove home (hour&45) Friday and had a dinner with The Rababcals. Saturday we visited some lost sheep in the morning and them travelled up to Boort! (3 hour round trip) Some members invited us to their big family reunion bbq and bonfire! When I say bonfire, I mean a BONFIRE. After the amazing haungii (underground fire pit bbq) we lit this monster fire pile. This was 1 year of gathering wood from a 375acre farm. Probably 20-30 foot tall of solid wood. The flames ended up being probably 70ft up, you had to stand far away. Check the pics. Anyway they had tons of less active members so we had a good time with them.

Sunday we drove with a member down the priesthood meeting in craigieburn, and back in one day, 3 hours 15 minutes. A great meeting tho. Monday we had our ward bbq and bonfire in Inglewood (hour and a half round trip, For the Queens bday. It was very successful, it was nice to see cause we had gathered all the wood by had for the fire. Good times.

Yesterday we rode with a member back up to Boort to install a new floor in a members house. It was a floating floor if you know what that is. It was really good times and fun to learn! Well thanks if you read to the end, love you all!!

Week 80 Rain, Mud, Shovels

May 22nd, 2019

Yo! What up fam!? This week was soooooo good! 

We did lots of visits to less active families! It's so fun ministering to the Lords children as the Savior did. Very fulfilling.  

Saturday we passed off a less active we were teaching to the Echuca missionaries cause he's way closer to them! I ended up having lunch in Echuca with Jarred Ludbey! It was so sick seeing him again. The rest of the family was out of town. However on MONDAY Mark and Lara Ludbey were traveling through and I had lunch with them!!! What a blessing!!! 

We did some awesome service digging up a sprinkler system. Had to brush off my shovel skills! Gotta love it! 

On Sunday there was a special broadcast for Australia that president Nelson spoke at! It was incredible I'm so grateful for a prophet. Also yesterday we had a special missionary broadcast in which president Nelson spoke to all missionaries from the Pacific area from NZ. We all learned a lot! 

That's all for this week, love you all!!
