Dear Everyone,

SO heaps of stuff has happened so I will try and capture most of it and also I will be talking to you guys soon on Mother's Day. But since last Tuesday all missions in the world no longer hold zone meetings which is pretty crazy but we still drove down to Ipswich on Wednesday but the cool thing is that there was a new couple of senior missionaries called out here so we can now catch a ride with them which helps save our K's. 

Then we have  been making some good progress with one our investigators, Clive (who we helped him move into his new house). We finally brought out a member from the ward and he has agreed to take the missionary lessons! So we will see how we go there. We also have started to go to the Young Men's nights in the ward to help support the YM here and to help encourage them to serve missions and yoke with the ward. 

New South Whales border (Still in our area)
Then on Saturday we went down to Stanthorpe and also to visit one of the recent convert/ less active members down there (but she lives in New South Whales... haha crazy!) so we had heaps of driving but it was a good day down there. Also very beautiful because it's autumn here and the trees down in Stanthorpe change more colors like back in NC! Then this week we made a plan to work harder and to plan more time to find new people to teach as well as planning more appointments a few days in advance so that we can bring more members with us and it has been working awesome! Also yesterday on Wednesday we were finally able to see our investigators Robert and Shonna (the couple that wanted to get married and baptized but Robert has been very sick).  We watched the church movie Joseph Smith the Prophet of the Restoration and it was such a good experience! It has been so weird because they are so keen to learn but the circumstance have been unfavorable for the past 6 weeks.. man Satan will do everything he can to stop this work from progressing, but it has been really good. 

Then today for P-day we went a place in our area with a sister in our ward and a recent convert named Brandon. It is called Queen Mary Falls and it was really fun- a nice walk and maybe not the biggest waterfall but still pretty cool and then we fed the bids which was pretty cool because they were these really pretty birds that would fly up and eat from your hands! Hopefully the sister from our ward, Sister Donaldson she will be sending some pictures somehow. 

 I love you all have a great week! :)
