Dear everyone,
I hope all of y'all are doing great and enjoying the Halloween fun! It doesn't really look like Halloween here in Australia because there are like no houses decorated but all good. Some of the members have told me that there will be some kids who do trick or treating, but we will have to see.
This past week was a pretty good one! It was a little tight because we are pretty much out of Kilometers or K's to drive our car with... but ya.. haha so because of that we have been out doing a lot of door knocking, like heaps! We have meet a few potential investigator but we also had the chance to do a lot of service moving some peoples stuff into new houses and doing some garden work (for some reason people in Australia call their yard a garden). We were able to witness a few cool miracles! like on Monday we had a family home evening with one of the members of the bishopric and Tenielle in his home so that turned out really well! We recommitted Tenielle and her family to be baptized for the 19th of November. So there is a lot to be done but we know if she puts her efforts forth and faith in the Lord it can be done! We also held a baptism for one of the kids in the ward and Tenielle was able to come to it and she told us that she loved it and couldn't wait until she could be baptized. Unfortunately some of her family was in town so she didn't get a chance to make it to sacrament meeting... but we will keep pushing forward!
We also met this one lady that we found after church while knocking on some doors nearby the chapel who said that her life was falling apart and she just finished talking on the phone to her parents and had said how they needed to have God in their life, then nack-minute here we are, the missionaries from the new chapel (which she can see from her house) asking if she needed help but that was pretty cool :) So we will continue to follow up!
The new chapel was awesome to be able to go to and our ward was the first ever ward to have a sacrament meeting there! Really cool :) Lots of good things! Also one last thing before I finish, something that one of the Assistants to the President said that has been really sticking with me recently was, "How much comfort can the Comforter give you if you are in your comfort zone?" but love you all and have a great week!
