Transfers!!

Dear family and friends,

What a shock, but I DIDN'T GET TRANSFERRED!  I am really happy, but the only thing is that my companion got transferred... :(

It has been quite a busy week, but now I am quite happy, because my companion's name is Elder Wilkinson.  He is from Oregon, near portland. *pretty close to beaverton*  (grandma and grandpa)

Another interesting note is that he is KOREAN SPEAKING!! :)  We have only been teaching chinese people, but now we are dead set to find some korean people here in our area.

We are really excited to challenge ourselves, and yesterday we found out that we will definitely get along well, and really be able to smash this transfer.  It is a 4 week transfer.

What else?  Elder BEDNAR WILL BE COMING IN FEBRUARY!!!  SO exciting, and we will be able to hear from him.

Also, this last week, we were able to participate in FSY!  Which is EFY HERE IN AUSTRALIA!  DREAM COME TRUE

We were able to help teach a class where the FSY youth were able to practice to teach the commandments.  It was super fun, and my EFY experience was fulfilled during that time.

We also cleaned up the apartment a bit, and I was able to find 2 EFY shirts.  I still don't remember if I left the other EFY shirt back at home, but now I have 2 more!  :)

Anyways, it is good.

Besides that here are a couple pictures.

LOVE YOU HEAPS

Miracles!

Dear Family and Friends,

This week was fantastic, because Lucy our investigator was baptized.  She is amazing and is one of the best people I have ever taught.

It was also transfer week, but I AM STAYING!  YAYAYAYAYAY

I love this area and the people in it.  So grateful for that, but everything else was alright.

We ended up singing for Sunday twice, and it was just ok. :)  We have been blessed with so many amazing things, and we are so excited for the future.

This Christmas will definitely be a great christmas.

For thanksgiving, I was just able to show gratitude, but we didn't celebrate it.  I think we had subway that day. Haha

Anyways

LOVE YOU HEAPS

p.s I have become super black...

P.P.S those are our missionary buddies in the same area.  :) THEY ARE SO HECTIC! (AWESOME)

 

 

 

 

Trunk or Treat!

Well, it is beginning to be November...  Time has been too fast!  However, we are super excited for what we have been doing here in the work.  A lot more people are listening to our message and definitely coming closer to Jesus Christ.  We are trying our best to work with all our might, and to continually learn and grow ourselves.

One of our mottoes is this: Study, believe, love, live and teach.  In the Preach My Gospel (our study manual) it says that is what we must do.  I totally agree.  For anything really we need to do that.  If we have a job or a hobby, we need to study about it, believe we can achieve it, love it, live what it is, and then help others learn it.  It is a never ending cycle of life.

Anyways, our ward had an activity celebrating Halloween.  It was called trunk or treat, where people would bring their cars to the church and decorate their 'boots' (trunks) and give lollies out (candy).

It was awesome.

Besides that, we are super excited for this month!!

Love you all so very much, and hope you have a wonderful week!!!

I am Chinese :)

Dear family and friends,

Apparently, I am chinese.  Haha, one of the members thought that I was Chinese, and just commented on how when I go back home, I will be able to do the work there as well.  I just nodded my head, and accepted the fact that one day I would be chinese.  :)  Especially here in my new area (I've only been here for 2 months now) and people speak to me in Chinese.  I kind of wish I studied it before, so I can understand what they are saying to me. 

Anyways, this week has been pretty good.  We were able to get a lot of things done, and succeed in many of our goals. 

It is amazing to see the change of missionaries and how fast we adjust to new things.  Especially new companions. 

Elder Reiner is super funny, and he loves music.  One could say that he is a professional whistler.  I am practicing, but nevertheless my whistling skills are not progressing.  Insomuch, I have given up the course of Whistling 101

Besides that, I am doing well. :)

LOVE YOU HEAPS

New transfer - Bitter sweet

Hey Friends and Family!

Bitter Sweet news.  My companion got transferred, :( but I got a new companion. :) And guess what (SHOUT OUT TO MY GERMAN SPEAKING MISSIONARIES) He is German! 

His name is Elder Reiner, and he is super German.  It reminds me of all the german friends I had back home. :) 

Anyways, the work here is progressing and we are seeing so much success.  It is seriously unbelievable.  We are able to see the changes, and things that can help our area grow.

Same old in the university work.  We are teaching a lot, and seeing many amazing successes.  We have some baptisms scheduled for next month, so I will keep you posted.

I decided that I would just send heaps of pictures, so here you go!

LOVE YOU HEAPS

This is my companion Elder Reiner :)
Hab dich lieb! ♥

Fizzy

Dear friends and family!

I am doing well this week.  We were able to watch general conference this week.  A little late, but it was fantastic!  One thing I loved was the opportunity that some of the general authorities had to speak in their own language!  I can't wait until a Korean will speak!

One of our investigators is italian, and he is so cool!  His name is actually Michael, so it's pretty weird hearing my name, because I haven't heard it in ages, but he is super awesome!  

I am so happy to be here, and especially to be in this particular area.

OH!  One of our members is KOREAN!  Anyways, they had us over, and we had all the korean food you could imagine.  It made me so happy!  :)

The reason why the title is named Fizzy, is because (FUN FACT) Fizzy = soda!

Cool, huh?

Life is still moving.  I love this gospel, and I am truly excited for this week!

LOVE YOU HEAPS

Spring = Summer

Dear family and friends!

What a glorious time to be here in Sydney!  

My companion and I are spending a wonderful time here helping the work of salvation progress in our area.  It has been a little difficult, because everyone is away on holiday due to mid semester break, but we know we will find people anyways.

It has been getting hot, and although we are sweating more, my tan is getting better :).  Anyways, we were blessed to have meetings with our mission president this last week, and it was all about the Book of Mormon, and as well as receiving answers to our questions.  

I really felt like it was for me, and how I could continue to help others receive answers to their questions through prayer.  

My companion is really teaching me the ways of a true blue 'Aussie' Accent.  I am SO excited to share it with all of you, but I am also practicing the good ol' british accent as well, because we have more British members than Aussie in our ward. O.o

Besides that, I am doing well.  

LOVE YOU HEAPS
