Dear family and friends,

What can I say about this week... This week has got to have been the craziest week on my mission.

It started off pretty good last Monday when we went for a Sister's P-day to this random park that had kangaroos hopping around. Then Tuesday we did some service with the Elders for a less active member. We completely transformed her front yard in two hours. It was pretty legit. Then Wednesday we had zone meeting, taught Stephanie a really good Plan of Salvation/ Gospel of Jesus Christ lesson and she accepted the invitation to be baptized when she knows everything is true, and then we caught up with our investigators Stephanie and Sunny briefly as well. Thursday we had zone interviews and afterwards talking with my companion I realized that I really am just SO emotionally exhausted right now! Friday an incident happened that I can't really go into detail about any farther than saying that we live in a dodgy area and Sister Delim and I ended up going to stay the night in the mission home. Saturday we were allowed to go back to Glenroy to teach Nova and Alex with the Elders and have them give her a priesthood blessing for her back injury and that everything can go more smoothly for her to be able to be baptized on the 25th. She has such a strong desire, but everything seems to be trying to stop her from getting all the lessons and coming to church on time. After that we went and packed up our flat and moved an hour away from our area. Because Nova is getting baptized on the 25th and transfers are on the 28th, President is allowing us to teach and baptize Nova, but other than that we really won't be in Glenroy for the next two weeks. Luckily we aren't officially ET-ed, but for sure they will be doubling us out at transfer time.

So yeah... That was pretty much our week. Pretty crazy and now we have to drive HEAPS. But hopefully everything will begin to settle down soon.

I love all of yous!

Love,

Sister Bingham
