Dear everyone,

   So this past week just like it says in the subject line was a pretty good week, Elder Haiane has been adjusting very well and he is going to be a great missionary! He has got a lot of heart. 

Well let's see, we have been teaching lots of people and we have been particularly working with our Filipino investigator, Francia, because we saw her twice this week and she came to church as well! But I will get into that more. We have been doing heaps of service for the former member because she has been moving houses and she is older and needs a lot of help so we spent many hours helping with that. Then Wednesday we had a chance to go to a zone conference (a meeting with President McSwain and 2-3 other zones). Luckily we have a senior couple missionaries in our ward and they helped give us a ride down to the place. And awesomely enough it was held in the stake center of my first area (which when I was there hadn't been finished being built yet) so that was very fun to see! 

We also had some more funny experiences while out knocking doors, one older guy talked to us for like 30 minutes and he was "departing his wisdom to us". He told us to stay away from drugs but the funny thing was that he would look at my companion and point his finger when he would say stay away from drugs! Then he was like, "and stay away from the night clubs in Brisbane, especially you"(pointing at my companion) hahaha I was cracking up about it after that! 

Also about Francia she has once again accepted to be baptized and she is looking a lot more prepared! The cool thing too is the guy who will be doing the interview is also a Filipino elder and he speaks her language which will be good! I guess the Lord has got his timing for everyone and everything! But ya it was a pretty good week. 

I hope you all have a great week too!
