Dear family and friends,
G'day!! It's been a great, busy week. We started off last Monday going to Hobart for zone p-day on Monday and zone meeting on Tuesday. For p-day we did all the fun stuff I did last year when I was here, Mt. Wellington and the Cadbury factory. It was great to see the snow again and to buy heaps of chocolate. :)
After p-day was over we went down to GLEN HUON for the night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so crazy to see my favorite place in the world again!! We went and had dinner with Enid Woolley, dessert with Bishop Jury and his family (minus Amber and Conner who are both on their missions now) and Brock and Rae Watson, then the next morning we had breakfast with our favorite neighbor Lisa Watson. It was so amazing to be back! It seriously felt like it had only been last week that I was last there! I can't wait to go back again for the next zone meeting!
Zone meeting was pretty alright. The most important part of it though was that we FINALLY got our car!!! Whoo hoo!!!!! So we drove that all the way back to Devonport with us.
Wednesday we got to watch a special meeting from Melbourne at our chapel. Apparently some people had organized a Time Out for Women in Sydney, so Brad Willcox and David Archuleta came and visited our mission before they went home! It was really fun to get to watch it! David Archuleta sang Be Still My Soul and Glorious and talked about Alma 37:6-7 (by small and simple means are great things brought to pass) and then shared a story from his mission about how he was on the bus one day and felt prompted to talk to this girl. After the third prompting he finally went over and started talking to her. About thirty seconds later he had to get off the bus and he awkwardly handed her an invitation to a ysa activity. Later he found out that she had gone to the activity and was being taught by the missionaries. Later he found out that she had gotten baptized and her sister was taking the lessons. Later he got transferred back into the same stake and saw her at an activity. She was preparing to serve a mission, but was putting it off at the moment because she was waiting for her family to be able to get sealed in the temple. Now she is serving a mission in Colombia. Pretty legit stuff! That scripture is so true! Then Brad Willcox talked about the House of Israel and how it is our job as missionaries to gather the house of Israel in preparation for the second coming of Jesus Christ. It was really cool! He is a great public speaker.
After all our great meetings we have been focusing on trying to get around to more members homes. It is really great to be more mobile again. That's about all for this week. Hope yous have a safe, warm week.
Love yous heaps!
