president is good man. He's really kind and a great, organized leader. You can send my mail to 76 Cathies Lane, Wantirna South, VIC 3152. My companions are awesome. Elder Woodruff and Cox. I'm in a tripanionship. They serve as the ZL's so I've learned heaps.
Thursday 16th (Australia is like a day ahead of you guys) - So 1st off. I got a car for my 1st area lol. A nice one too! We got up at 5:30 to go lift at the AP's (Elder Howard and McCleary) house. They had heaps of weights! So we did that for an hour. Get big get strong! lol Then we headed back to the flat, got ready, and studied for 2 hours. 1 hour for personal and 1 hour for companion study. Then we went to a zone meeting. There's so many Polynesian missionaries in our zone. Samoans and Maori's primarily. They have to put all of them here in the area, just because most Samoans won't talk to haoles. Pretty interesting!lol It's just the fobs though.Then we went to go eat at the mall at some Aussie meat wrap place. I'll send a picture of what I got. But get this! We went to go eat at a Samoan families house, the Danielsons. They fed us heaps of food!! It was awesome. But I guess the Aunt and Uncle who was visiting were from Fasito'iuta? Or whichever Grandpa is from. She knew Loia! And the Uncle was friends of Fata! It was pretty funny!
Friday-Sunday 17th-19th
The next few days the mornings were the same. Except for Saturday we did mixed martial arts and kicked the fetch out of each other hahaha. But this weekend I watched conference a second time! Since times are different they played it on the weekend over here too. It was great though. I learned heaps.
I also set 3 baptismal dates on Sunday. Like here's how it went: After teaching them the 1st Vision and Joseph Smith. I looked them straight into the windows of their soul! And said! Will you follow the example of Jesus Christ by being baptized by someone holding the priesthood authority of God?.....And they all said yes. I was pretty shocked they said yes lol. But hey, that's what happens when the Spirit is there and does the converting:)
I advise everyone to look over this past General Conference and keep them close to their hearts. It just dawned on me of who I was actually listening to all these years. Those 15 men. The 1st Presidency and 12 apostles are prophets,seers, and revelators. When President Monson speaks, we should listen as if it were the prophet Nephi or Alma the younger or Moroni. Because President Monson is our Nephi or our Moses of these days. Our days. That's my spiritual piece of this email. Listen to these prophets in Salt Lake. Because they're real.
Anyways random things about Australia......everything is fetchin' expensive in the land down unda! Everyone's accents are extremely thick! Even my soas (companions) have accents and one's from Western Utah for crying out loud! haha, it's soooo awesome. Let's see what else. Oh! The money is pretty awesome looking down here. People drive on the left side, still freaks me out. haha, and I can't forget the spiders! There's heaps of them. The stories are true for the spiders at least. Google the Australian Huntsman. Yeah. That's real!!
It's been an awesome few days!! The members are so kind to us. Like a lady dished out 200 AUD's to pay for my district's lunch. So so sweet of her. The Lord has blessed me with so much over here temporally and spiritually. I love you all! Email me soon!:) amron-blue.fiaui@myldsmail.net
