Talofa lava!
This week has been pretty flat out. So Monday we had our Sister's p-day and family home evening. For p-day we learned some cultural dances from some of the sisters in the mission. Then for fhe we went to the mission home and had an Easter message from President and Sister Maxwell, played games, and had an Easter egg hunt. Then on Tuesday we went to a chapel for our conference. Our theme was Be Loyal to the Royal Within. We had some really good trainings and food and then Sister Dere and I got dropped off at the train station to wait to go back to Wagga. It was really great to see everyone and to find out how everyone in Glen Huon and Melton are doing! Tuesday night we stayed at the new Wagga Sr. couple's flat (we didn't arrive until about one in the morning and I was so tired!) and then Wednesday we drove back home to Griffith.
On Friday Sister Kruyer and Sister Best came up for exchanges. It was another really great exchange. Sister Kruyer and I saw Jess (the Peruvian lady that we tracted into on my birthday) and her husband Richard, a less active family, Michael, and Mere.
Michael hadn't showed up for his appointment the day before so we stopped by to see what was up and we finally found out for sure what his concern lately has been. He admitted to us that he had read heaps of anti-Mormon stuff online, so we talked about it with him and explained to him that the best way for him to get spiritual answers is to ask God spiritual questions, not by filling his mind with rubbish. So hopefully he will get better at reading his Book of Mormon and keeping his other commitments again.
Our lesson with Mere was exciting! We had been going through the gospel of Jesus Christ with her and already taught her faith and repentance, so this time we taught her about baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. Then at the end we set a baptismal date with her!!! Right now she is going to work towards May 23rd, so I'm really excited for her for that right now!
That's all the exciting stuff from this week besides Easter as well and I hit my nine month mark... Officially halfway through my mission. It doesn't feel like it at all! I am not looking forward to continuing to get closer to going home.
Hope yous all enjoy your spring weather. I think our summer days are gone because the past week has just gotten colder and colder. Winter is just around the corner!
Love yous heaps!
