This week has gone too fast! It was the last week of the transfer, and now we are in a new transfer! I am still staying in the cold mountainous area, but I am so excited for it. As of late, Elder Honema'u and I have been eating hot oatmeal for brekky (breakfast) every day, because it is too cold to have normal cereal. In our flat, we literally see our breath when we breathe... But you know it is alright, because we have heaters.
I seriously love everything about the mountains, from the trails and from the wonderful views of life. Attached are some pictures of the places where we've been so far.
There is an Aboriginal story that I want to share that has to do with a picture that I will send.
It is called: The Three Sisters and the Lyrebird.
It is called: The Three Sisters and the Lyrebird.
There once was a village who was in battle with another village. The reason behind it, was that the one village wanted the three daughters of the chief from the other village. In trying to defend his daughters, he had a magical 'wand' of sorts made out of bone and could do anything with that wand. He turned his daughters into stone, so that the people wouldn't be able to take them away. However, as they were fighting the chief lost the bone. His village won however, but they couldn't find the bone to turn his daughters back into human. As the chief was getting old, he turned himself into a lyre bird so that he may continue to find the bone to turn his daughters back into people.
That is the brief summary, but legend says that below near the three sisters that there is a lyre bird still trying to find the bone.
How amazing is Australian culture.
I am so grateful to be here, and working to help people come closer to Jesus Christ.
There are so many miracles in the mission life that strengthen my testimony of this wonderful Gospel.
I love you all so much,
ELDER HAN
