My apologies for this letter coming in so late this week. We had zone p-day on Monday in the city and Sister Lee and I had to take the train to save K's on our car, so we didn't have time to email, and then yesterday was a public holiday for the Melbourne cup, so today was the earliest that we could get to the library to email.
Last week Sister Lee and I smashed it! We had a bomb week! We got seven new investigators within the week, and three of them in one day on Tuesday! Our first new investigator that day was Monica, a Sudanese mum with six kids. We met her tracting the other week and she invited us back. Our next new investigator, Sumintra, is a Fijian Indian who let us in straitaway when we knocked her door tracting. And our third new investigator Tuesday was Annalise, a coworker of one of the YSA in our ward. We met her when we dropped in on a member and they were home hanging out, and we found out that Annalise was interested in learning a little bit about the church so we gave her a Book of Mormon and did a brief introduction of it for her. We are having FHE with her next week, so I will be sure to update you on her later.
I can't believe the holiday season has officially started! We had a fun ward trunk or treat activity and one of our potential investigators showed up with her son, which was really awesome! Halloween in Australia is kinda lame, though. Most people don't even celebrate it and refer to it as an American holiday. And then we get all the people that question us since we are missionaries on why we celebrate Halloween as a church because it is all about ghosts and witches, etc. And then there is also no Thanksgiving in Australia, so our holiday season pretty much only consists of Christmas in the blazing sun... It's gonna be a fun holiday season this year haha!
Sunday Mary unfortunately was late to sacrament meeting so she has to wait until this coming Sunday to be confirmed, so that was a really sad and stressful moment. But we did take Mary to the Mission President fireside in Wantirna South on Sunday night with a YSA from our ward. It was really good, and she seemed to really enjoy it!
Zone P-day was really fun! We played bubble soccer and then went to a field and played touch rugby and other sports. Since Sister Lee and I took the train to the city we walked through the CBD on our way home transferring to a different tram. It is really cool there! I definitely wouldn't mind getting to serve in the city for a couple transfers.
Well, sorry this email is really long and late. I hope you all have a great rest of your week!
Love ya heaps!
