Pondering Patience

                                    Temple Day at the beautiful Brisbane, Australia Temple
7/18/2016


Dear everyone,
     
I will have to be quick because most the computers in this computer lab are broken so we are all like sharing the computers that do work.. I would have to say that this week has been long, but it has been good. It feels like last Monday was forever ago.

We have been working with this Cook Island family with some unbaptized kids and they have been really good to work with. Their name is the Taoro family and they have some active family members in our ward. We played a game with them and we had Alex Togia with us and he has been helping us with our teaching skills and he has really been a big help. I have learned a lot from him so far! 

But we have been trying something new in a couple of things. One thing we have been trying is praying with the members before we go out and go tracting on a street and we ask for them member to pray for our efforts and for the people on the street. (We have only done it once so far..) But when we did it we found 2 potentials and 1 new solid new investigator from NZ and she is really religious and when we shared about the Book Of Mormon she was like can I have that book? and we were like yes!! We are excited to start teaching her this Wednesday. Also this Wednesday we are having the first interview with the new mission president. That should be really good!  

Something that I have been pondering and that keeps coming up is about continuing in patience. I recently listened to a talk by Dieter F. Uchtdorf about continuing in patience because we cannot be perfect right now. But what we can do is progress.  

I love you all and have a great week!

Also, I finally saw some kangaroos!  The story behind the kangaroos is pretty boring actually... haha I was just riding my bike on the trade off on that Saturday and BAM there were some Kangaroos :) So I obviously had to take some pictures!
