G'day from the Land Down Under!

Dear Everyone,

This past week has been a week of what we call hard yakka (or hard work) for instance on Saturday we went door knocking for 7 hours! yeah! haha needless to say we were tired after that. Also the day before on Friday we helped this less active lady move who needed a lot of help... So that was an all day move. But it has been really cool because while we have been working really hard the Lord has blessed us in other aspects of the work. Like we have gotten a couple of really good referrals from some of our members in the Raceview ward. And then it was really cool because Brandon (that foster kids who I talked about that I taught in my first area) he finally got permission to be baptized on January 20th!!! Which will be awesome! So we are so pumped and he has been way keen to get baptized. 

Also in our mission we type up what we call "miracle texts" when you set someone on baptismal date and so this is the one that me and my companion came up, we thought it was pretty funny. 

Twas the night before P-day

And thoughout all of PEC

Everyone there had a referral as far as we could see

And just when we thoguht the night couldn't get any better

Our First counsellor piped up and said we just got the letter

That their foster child, young Brandon Baker (11)

Will finally be more prepared to meet his maker

After the 20th of January when he will be baptized!

And all we could say was we were delightfully surprised  

Also really cool we will be having a zone conference with Brad Wilcox on Friday which will be cool!

Love you all have a great week!
