The weeks keep going by way too fast! This week was full of really high ups, and a few lows as well, but that is the normal life of a missionary!
We had exchanges this week, and of course it brought miracles! I always learn so much on exchanges and feel so uplifted.
Tish is doing pretty well. We finished teaching her the plan of salvation this week and had another good lesson with her.
We managed to catch up with Elisa again and shared the Book of Mormon story about Abinadi. It really helped her to have a greater desire and motivation to read from the Book of Mormon.
Nana isn't progressing the best at the moment. During our lesson this week we figured out that she doesn't even really know why we come and teach her, so we are going to try and start back at square one with her.
Trenyce is looking really good. We taught her the ten commandments this week and committed her to come to church with a member who will pick her up. We figured this would be the best solution for her to come to church short term and she agreed. Her mum has already taken her shopping and found a baptism dress for her so that is also a good sign. :)
A couple new investigators we found this week were Erik and Twabitha. Erik is an Indo-Fijian man who has been in Australia for a few months. He is Hindu, but genuinely is looking for more peace and happiness in his life. Twabitha is from Sudan and is Christian. I found her with Sister Hatch on exchanges looking for a former investigator and we went back with a returned missionary in our ward a couple days later to teach her the restoration. She was really excited to read the Book of Mormon.
The highlight of this week was, of course, getting to watch general conference. I especially enjoyed the two shout outs for Australia! The one about the sharks definitely fulfils the American view of what Australia is like, haha! I loved all the talks that were given and the inspiration received by each person who had the opportunity to speak. I know that we are led by a prophet of God and that Jesus Christ leads and guides the church today through revelation. I look forward to re-listening to all the talks in the coming months and continuing to apply them into my life.
Love yous heaps!
