Getting warmer

Hey Family and Friends,

Life here in Australia is pretty good.  We are doing fantastic, and it is insane!  There is a crazy miracle I wanted to share this week.  So on Sunday, a man just came into church, and told us that he was from Milan, Italy, and he just came 2 weeks ago.  Apparently, he was taught there, and he moved here to work, and he promised the missionaries there that he would visit church.  The day before he spent 3 hours of his time to try to find the right place, so he could get there on time for sunday!  

But the miracle is, he wants to meet with us!  He is awesome and his name is Michael O.o  

Ha, it is a little awkward when members say hi to him, because I am thinking, "how did they know my name?"  Then I remember that it is Michael's name.

Life is very busy, but I know as I keep going that we will be able to see so many blessings and miracles.

Apparently though, in our zone, one of the missionaries is from ELKO, NEVADA!!!!  His name is Elder Jordan and he is actually speaking korean. But, that is where Elder Han^2 is serving at the moment.  Shout out to him. :)

Have you ever fast forwarded a scene just to get to another scene, well, I feel like that on my mission right now.  It is as if someone is hitting the fast forward button times 4 and it is not even funny.  Weeks are going by too fast!~

But, all is well in Australia, and my accent is getting better.  Indeed, the ironic thing is, that as it has been improving, I was moved to a ward where there are barely any Aussies.  It consists of Americans, New Zealanders, Filipinos, Samoans, and Chinese!  

Anyways, love you all so very much

Life in the Suburbs

Hello Family and Friends

So this week has been pretty hectic! Everything is going well, and it has been a lot of preparation to figure things out here.  We have been able to continue to work hard, and figure out how to work with one another.  It has been great!

To start off, there are so many chinese people it is crazy!!!  :)  I am evermore slowly learning how to speak mandarin, and it's going to be handy to use.  I love the work here, and it is so awesome to get to know these wonderful people in the ward as well as the uni.  

Besides that it's been the same really, trying our best to find more people to learn more about our message.

But today, I decided to just send pictures of the mission, because I know you would all love it.

LOVE YOU HEAPS

Hectic week (Sep 14th letter)

This week has been pretty hectic!  It is always different to transfer to a different area, because you have to be accustomed to the different things and culture.  However, it has definitely been fantastic being able to work here in this area.  Yesterday, we went to church, and there is a member that is KOREAN!  YAY!  She said that she would definitely make some korean food for us, and so that is pretty exciting.

The other thing that is super awesome is that the work here is fantastic. We are teaching a lot and it is pretty great.  I love the busyness feel of life here near the city.

Besides that, life is all good.  Something that is pretty interesting as well, is we have 8 missionaries in the ward! Four of them work with the ward, and we work with the University.  So it is pretty interesting, but we are hoping that it will work out well.  I love the members here!

Actually, there are really no Australians in our ward. Many members from America actually.  Pretty interesting, huh?

Anyways,

See yous later!

Ward Activity - Minute to win it

So this week, was amazing!  We had the opportunity to help participate in a ward activity that consisted of Minute to Win it challenges.  It was fun, but the most important part was that a lot of people that we invited came!

Then, during church, some people that we normally don't see there, came!  

I absolutely loved this week, and I am constantly trying to improve and be a better person.  

Besides that, it is pretty much getting there.  

Speaking of numbers, last time during a district meeting I had the opportunity to give a training ( kind of like a discussion based lecture).  I asked all the missionaries this one question.

~If you had $86,400 that came to your bank account every morning, and when the day finished the money would go back to zero, what would you do?

Many responses were:  Give it to the needy, feed my family, help my relatives, invest in something, buy a house and pay off the mortgage, buy a car, etc.

So ask yourselves that question, and then the way I tied it in is this.  That money is precious, we shouldn't waste it.  

There are 86,400 seconds in a day.  Do we use every single second making good use of our time?

Anyways, that is just a thought about what we need to be doing.  

Love you heaps,

Elder Han
