<span style="font-family: "arial";">We visited the Apostles on June 7, Wednesday, our PDay; also did our </span><span style="font-family: "arial";">emails in the Library and visited the Delos Santos Family of Footscray Ward, had a few parting words as this was my last week in the mission.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I realized how 76 weeks flew so fast - 74 weeks in Australia plus 2 weeks at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah. On this last week, I did my work as usual. I did not have the chance to visit those families and individuals whom I taught in my previous areas. My companion and I continued with our appointments and teachings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">On June 12, Monday night, Sisters Manosig, Sister Caguimbal and Sister Fraedrich were with us in the flat. The three of us - Sisters Manosig, Caguimbal and me - would be going home on Wednesday. While I was packing my things, I also dictated to Sister Caguimbal the transfer plan for June 14, Wednesday. After my I finished packing, I woke up Sister Lambert as she requested, and we talked for about 2 hours. Then we went to sleep. (Don't make a guess how long. The sleep was not long.) This was my last night at the flat, my last night with Sister Lambert. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The next day, we left our baggage at the mission office and went to the temple for a session. After the temple session, all those going home gathered at the mission office for the Reliance Workshop, exit interview with President Vidmar, dinner and testimony meeting. We slept in the mission home for the night.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">At 6 am, we left for the airport with President and Sister Vidmar. Four had to take the early flight - Elders Olan and Valenciano, Sisters Manosig and Caguimbal- who were bound for Philippines. Other missionaries leaving were: Sister Guan for China, Elder Mahendran for Germany, Elder Veas for Chile, and the six of us - Elders Wheeler, Weiser, Thompson, Albrechtsen, Sister Burden and me - for NZ and US. Six of us were together in the same plane for Auckland, New Zealand, which left Australia at 12:10 noon and arriving NZ at 5:45pm after flying for 3 hrs and 35 mins (new time zone).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">At NZ airport, Sister Burden and I spoke to an old woman who shared that she was familiar of the church. Two other people nearby also said that they had colleagues who served a mission. We were also joined by two missionaries from NZ who would be going home and taking the flight to San Francisco. The Elders, Sister Burden and the two NZ missionaries would be in the same flight to San Francisco.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I was at NZ airport for a total of 4 hours before I boarded my plane for Los Angeles while the others boarded earlier for San Francisco. I arrived in LA terminal 2 on June 14 at 3:00 pm after about 12 hours of flying (new time zone). We were instructed to claim our baggage and so I brought them to terminal 6 where I would board Air Canada for Toronto. Upon checking in, I was informed that my flight would be delayed for 4 hours, thus a total of 11 hours waiting before boarding. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">It was a bit strange walking without a companion. I went to a store to exchange my bill for coins so I could use a public payphone. </span><span style="font-family: "arial";">While I was looking for a public phone, a mother with child tried to get my attention and said "a sister missionary!"</span><span style="font-family: "arial";"> Then I tried to call my parents using the public phone to inform them of the 4 hrs delay but there was no answer. ( I was told later that my mother did not get to the phone on time and tried to call the number.) I bought an apple for $1.39 but later I felt I needed to eat more. I found Chinese food, unfortunately far from my gate, fall in a long line, got my food and walked back again to my gate, sat and took a short nap, then finally ate what I bought. Not far from me were Muslims who were praying. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The quiet and peaceful moment came. I took a brown napkin and wrote my journal for the day, then a nap before I finally boarded Air Canada Flight AC 788 on June 15/ 2am LA time bound for Toronto Pearson Airport.</span><br />

He was considering to have us meet his family since his wife was interested in the books too. Just learned that Simon met missionaries 2 years ago but wasn't ready yet. He told us that he was praying to God for someone he could talk to about the Bible, then he met us at the stop lights. That moment when we spoke to him at the stop lights really touched him. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We met Sister Leilani with an 8-month old baby and non-LDS partner. She said she wanted to learn more and would stop smoking. Miracle. The couple said that they wanted to become better parents for their baby by having Christ in the center of their lives and asked us to visit them weekly. Last two appointments, Leilani wasn't home but this time, she was ready. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also followed up a bunch of former investigators within 2 km radius and walked the whole day. We planned to have 2 new investigators but it was almost 6pm and found no one yet. Then we decided to try one more new contact who did not speak much English. We found him with his daughter and family and shared with them the Plan of Salvation. Amit the husband said that they only believe in karma and reincarnation, he wanted to learn more so we set another appointment with them. Instead of two, we found a 3-generation family - the grandparents and a family with 2 young children! It is really powerful to pray specifically, God gave us more than we asked for.</span></div>

We shared about Restoration and he took notes. He said that when he is ready, he would let us meet his family. The next day, he called us to tell us that he read the BOM, that it was good and he was excited to meet with us again.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I remembered calling Sam, a contact I found in our phone. When we called, he gave us his address which I recorded in my planner. When we were in the area, I remembered #2 Aubin Crt and so we knocked on this address. Next minute, two dogs came running. I thought the owner let them free to scare us (later we saw a sign that the owner is Orthodox and other religions are not welcome). We asked him if a "Sam" lived there, he said 'no', and we said our apologies and left. When I checked my planner, it said #5 and not #2..ooppss. However, I do believe that there is a purpose for everything and scaring my companion is not one of them.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Sisters needed a ride from their District Meeting to their flat. The Finley Sisters (Sister Tuu'u and Koroi) were working together with the Lynbrook Sisters in the Lynbrook area for the meantime while President Vidmar sorted some things out in Finley. Someone tried to break inside their flat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also met Desiree today and shared with her about Restoration. She said she wanted to learn more so we set another appointment for next week. Desiree was a referral by the other set of Sisters during exchanges who met her while GQing Dandenong Plaza.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>May 17, Wed</i></b> - Exchanges with Mooroolbark Sisters. The guy who did the service to our car said that it would take only 1 hour but then they had to change some hoses, thus we didn't make it on time for Mary's appointment at 11 am. By the time we got to her house, she said she was already busy. hmmm..We decided to meet Antonin, the referral from the stake, at 1 pm instead of 3 pm. After a few knocks, he came out and invited us in. Sadly, we did not have another female with us so we just sat outside by the door steps. We taught him how to pray. He said he would try to pray before we meet him again next week.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We then visited some formers in Kelvinside Noble Park and tracted the area. We walked from house number 32 to 111, and by the time we got there and knocked on the door, a car pulled in. The person we were looking for already moved out but Driba, the new resident, talked to us. He was interested and accepted a Book of Mormon. If we had not walked, we would have arrived earlier and no one would be there to talk to us. We followed the prompting to walk instead of driving so we met Driba. Miracle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>May 18, Thurs</i></b> - Today, we took the bus so I could teach my companion the routes. She rode the bus only once and she needed to do this during exchanges. We talked to a lot of people and met Simon while crossing the street. He said that he would meet with us later today in the library at 4pm but he did not make it because he had to take his wife to the hospital unexpectedly.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also did GQ on the train from Dandenong to Noble Park, ate lunch in the park, and followed up formers who lived nearby. I realized how much I missed using public transportation. We met Maulika on the bus and she gave us her address and number.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sister Fraedrich remembered a new contact who lived nearby. We knocked and we met Awatif who invited us in, and so we shared the Restoration with her. She was Muslim but all her children were Christians. She agreed to read the Book of Mormon and meet us again next week. We also met Treva who was baptized but left and attended different other churches. He said that he could never have a testimony of the Book of Mormon though he had family members who were strong LDS.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also met Vicky and gave her a Hindi Gospel of Jesus Christ; she read it and translated it to English for us. We invited her again to pray about her baptism because she was scared that changing from Buddhism to Christianity would make her sick. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also met Laura and shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with her. She said she believed it to be true but she didn't believe that she needed to be baptized because she was already baptized in the Catholic and Pentecostal churches. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-flMVcoiPzBw/WSOI4EkjAoI/AAAAAAAAC2g/-L1Pbu8aPQkSOTkIs4rT97ApZOP9DdsBgCLcB/s1600/SAM_1201.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-flMVcoiPzBw/WSOI4EkjAoI/AAAAAAAAC2g/-L1Pbu8aPQkSOTkIs4rT97ApZOP9DdsBgCLcB/s640/SAM_1201.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After that, we went to O'Callaghan; at the door, she was saying how busy she was at work. In my head, I was thinking of giving her a "drop testimony" then visit her again maybe in a few months...but when we shared about how putting God first in our lives could bless us, she paused for a while then invited us in. I think the reason why she was hesitant to invite us in was because her house was in a mess, trash everywhere because of the dogs and her 2 sons were not helping. We got to know her more, then shared more about Lehi's vision of the tree of life and the need to hold on to the iron rod. We then offered to help her clean. She said we could come back Thursday to clean.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We then popped by Aman again; she told us that she was happy where she was and did not want to change church because she was strictly vegetarian and thought that we should not eat animal meat. After Aman, we had family home evening with Estelle and talked about "Look and Live, look to Christ in everything."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>May 9, Tue</i></b> - After District Meeting, we visited some formers to follow up and update, then had splits with Sabrina and Sammy. Sabrina had plans to serve a mission while Sammy just got back from her mission in Utah 5 months ago. Sister Lambert and Sabrina found a new contact, Ron, when they tracted a bit while looking for a former. Sammy and I went together to a former who had moved but as we tracted the court, we met Vicky who invited us in right away. She was from Fiji, of a Buddhist background, and feeling down at the moment because her son got mixed in the wrong crowd. We shared about God's love and she asked us if Jesus Christ could help her. She was very keen and we knelt down to pray before we left. Miracle.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then we picked up the Lynbrook Sisters for exchanges tomorrow.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>May 10, Wed</i></b> - Exchanges today: Me and Sister Caguimbal, Sister Lambert and Sister Manosig. Sister Caguimbal and I visited Antonin but we set another appointment after he told us that he was busy because he was selling his house. We also went to visit Mary again and this time, she invited us in. We shared more about the BOM and knelt down to pray. We then went back to visit Elise but she was not home so we tracted Baird Street. We met Jab who told us that we could come back next time. I didn't see the tow thingy from one of the parked cars and hit my knee..huhuhu. We received a text from Mayet (with whom we had appointment later today) that she did not want to meet with us anymore.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We then visited Amber and read with her 3Nephi 11:1-12. I thought we needed to bring a fellowshipper next time for her to progress. We also followed-up Pilaryo, a Filipino that the other Sisters met last time. He said we could meet his family next time. While Sisters Lambert and Manosig visited Ana and Santi, we tracted the street. One man commented why we kept coming back and giving out something. We were a bit puzzled and then he asked, "Are you JW? (JW means <i>Jehovah's Witness.</i>) We said, "no", still he said "Well, I'm still not interested." I thought that was a funny encounter.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>May 11, Thurs</i></b> - East Side Zone Conference. My companion, Sister Lambert, and I gave training on How to Begin Teaching. We texted all of the East zones to prepare by studying their favorite teacher in the scriptures and how they begin teaching. During the training, the Sisters were very involved and engaged because they studied in advance. We then focused on King Benjamin and how he taught. We also invited Senior Missionaries and President and Sister Vidmar to be our investigators during the role plays. We gave them the information of our real investigators. President Vidmar acted out Des. At the end, President Vidmar invited those who were leaving this transfer to bear their testimony, me one of them..huhu.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Moorabbin Sisters gave us a referral Ayjang; we called to confirm our meeting but when we came, she was not home. We tracted the street and met Rajinder from india. He was bubbly and cheerful, "Don't worry about anything, just enjoy the sun and breeze." We talked a bit about baptism and the Book of Mormon. He read the introduction but still like casual and a bit mocking the book, and said that he did not want a copy. As we were leaving, he asked why we were doing this. He asked if he could look at the book again, then scanned and read random pages even the verse where it says "O Ye perverse and wicked generation.." After a while, he said that he felt good, gave us his number because he was moving, took the book and read it on his way back into the house. Miracle.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We then followed up Jab but he was not home. We also visited Amber, this time we brought Bro. and Sis. Samau Oeti. They clciked right away, Bro. Samau was baptized 4 years ago and bore an amazing testimony on how the gospel changed his life. Amber responded that this was what she needed. Bro. and Sis. Samau Oeti offered to pop by on a Sunday so they could also meet the partner. She said she wanted to learn more and be baptized. The kids were listening and paying attention, too. Miracle.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>May 13, Sat </i></b>- We met Josephine again but she forgot that we were meeting her today so we rescheduled for next week. We followed up on Sayeda, the Muslim mom we met last week. She invited us in and we shared the Plan of Salvation. She said that it's the same with their beliefs..hmm. She agreed to meet with us again to learn about Restoration and that we could bring fellowshippers. She asked about the difference between Islam and Mormonism and we told her about the priesthood, she was curious.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We then picked up Te Haerenga and Nina from the chapel just right after Mother's Day lunch. We did splits but we went together though to meet Abdul. Abdul did not know about baptism and he said he would come to church this Sunday.</span><br />

She wanted an Arabic BOM which we would bring during our visit again next week. We then visited the Lawrence family, played games with Matthew because he was not in a good mood. After playing Uno, he was fine, so we shared POS using cut-outs, or so we say, Matthew was the one teaching us. The family would come to church tomorrow.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> My dad.. and mom..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Today, Abdul came to church, looked like he enjoyed it. He talked to a few people even Bishop. He said he needed to go but would stay longer next week. Matthew and his mom came as well, also Leila from Iran. Touraj passed the sacrament for the first time and said that he felt really good. Ehsan also told us about not drinking coffee and not smoking for long time now and his desire to go to the temple.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Last ward council, the brethren mentioned about visiting Hana Ah Mu and so we did. They came to church today with partner Solomon (non-LDS) and 3-year old kid, Peyton. We shared about Faith with them in their home. Hana had not been to church for a while but wanted to come back. She's related to the stake president. Solomon was a bit anxious with missionaries so Hana suggested that we could have a dinner appointment next week so Solomon would be comfortable with us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We visited Sayeda and her husband, Azim and we shared about Restoration. Sayeda said that our message was good but she did not feel right leaving Islam. She said that we had the same message and it did not matter..huhu..but she said that she would read the Persian BOM. Azim studied different religions, very nice, but couldn't speak English so Sayeda had to do the translation. We were not able to bring a Persian-speaking couple because families were busy on Mother's Day.</span></div>

After MLC, we received a referral from the branch president in Wagga wagga about a service opportunity in our area so we drove there. We helped a family moved and scrubbed walls. Amy was baptized but she said that she didn't feel like she belonged so she had not been to church for a long time.<br />
<br />
Then we visited Atousa again. She invited us in and we shared about Restoration. She was baptized in the Protestant Church four years ago from being a Muslim. We explained about baptism and she said she would pray about it. We would meet her again next week.<br />
<br />
<b><i>May 6, Sat</i></b> - We went to visit Josephine, shared about Restoration and set a return appointment for next week. We then tracted a few houses in the street and went to a name in the ward list who lived nearby. When she invited us in, Barbara said she has a sister. When the sister came out, she is a twin, and we discovered that she's an investigator taught by the Elders..haha.. Anyways, Lynne had been thinking about her baptism but did not feel that she was ready. We read 3Nephi 11 with her. She liked to learn and go to church even though Barbara, already LDS, was not going.<br />
<br />
We had our district meeting after lunch, then met Abdul in the library. Abdul was a name in our phone whom we called and was willing to meet us. We were working on calling all the investigators listed on the phone because we didn't know who they were.<br />
<br />
Abdul was Muslim, said that Mohammad was like Joseph Smith and the Quran was like the Book of Mormon. He warned us that we should be sure of the truth before we spread what we were teaching because we would be accountable. We invited him to do the same. He also invited us to the open house of the mosque when we invited him to church. We asked him if we could meet his family and he said 'yes.' We were thinking that there was no point teaching him but in the latter part, he said that he wanted to learn why we believe it so much, so we would meet him again next week. He said he had a copy of the Book of Mormon which was good.<br />
<br />
We then attended a baptism in the Hampton Ward, after which, we met the Lawrence family. We shared the importance of the Sacrament with Matthew. This time was the tennis season so they missed church but Sister Lawrence said that she was thinking of July for Matthew's baptism.<br />
<br />
<b><i>May 7, Sun</i></b> - We visited a former investigator, Nabela, and she said that she would stay Muslim. We tracted all the units in her area and the man said that there was no point because they were all from Afghanistan but we tracted anyway. We met two new contacts. One was a dad named Hamid who had two young kids, said he was 50-50 about religion but when we mentioned about families, he wanted to learn so we set return appointment for next week. We had 15 minutes left to get to ward council but we decided to knock on the last door. A mom named Sayeda opened and we shared a bit about the Plan of Salvation. She wanted to learn a bit more about our beliefs of the after life so we set a return appointment for next week. Miracle. Just when it seemed like there was no point knocking on doors where they were from Afghanistan and Muslim, then we got two new contacts. We were 10 minutes late to the ward council but we were in time to share a bit. The ward was pretty amazing; they made a progress chart to see the progress of recent converts and returning less active members.<br />
<br />
We were invited to teach Sunday School for deacons and beehives about what we could learn from prophets and apostles. Des came to church as well as Brother Seppings. There was also a new family who moved from Brisbane, her three kids were blessed today and non-LDS husband came along. We then met Hano's husband who said they were already going to church, said that he would listen to the unique message next Sunday, so we set another appointment. Then we practiced for the Musical Fireside, but we did not get the text that they moved it earlier to 4:30 instead of 5, so by the time we got there, it was already over. We then followed up on other former investigators, two had moved out but William still lived in same place. We met his brother Henry and he was surprised that William had been learning about the church. William was out at the moment but Henry said that we could come back another time.<br />
<br />
Then there was the Narre Night at 8pm in the chapel where we gathered as a zone with scriptural thought and some games, also met the new missionaries in the zone. This week as well, we got a heater as my companion was freezing.</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After our emails today, we received call from Bishop about a referral, Antonin, so we went to his place, but it was going dark, there was a gate but no doorbell so we decided to try him another time. When we called him on the phone and introduced ourselves, he told us that he had no time for missionaries and hang up.</span></div>

Because of time, all of us went to teach Jaynelle and didn't end up doing splits. Jaynelle was SDA (Seventh-day Adventist) but she really enjoyed meeting us and had a great discussion about the Plan of Salvation. Sis Lani and Tami were awesome fellowshippers. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I went with Sister Salesa today and we visited O'Callaghan. We talked to her by the door and we had a nice conversation. She wanted to go to church but very busy at work. Recently she had an experience where her car stopped running in the 'stop light' so she prayed that it would roll to the side safely. Her prayers were answered on time and she was grateful, took it as a reminder that God wants to hear from her through prayer. She said that she wanted to come back to church and so we were excited to help her. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Remember Antonin? We called him again last night and told us the same thing. Today we went to his house and knocked at the window (first time I did that) and he came out. He was actually pretty nice and we talked to him more. He was from Czech, had Parkinsons, excited to read the POS pamphlet, and we set return appointment. Miracle, after two times of rejecting us, only a personal visit was needed to get an appointment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also visited Satyea, very young but had cancer and a one-year old son. She's coming back to church on her dad's encouragement. She went to LDS in the afternoon and catholic mass at 6pm, but her husband, not an anti and not a believer, told her to focus on one so that their son would not be confused. She knew a lot about BOM stories and we just started to teach her more. Her dad was converted in Saudi Arabia, awesome story. Her dad worked in the Library when he noticed an American family and kids behaving very well. He was curious and asked them, they said they were LDS and introduced him to the church. Her dad is strong in the church because of the example of one family in a non-Christian country.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also went to visit Amber again, though she was going for training, invited us in and we shared a 10-minute lesson about faith. Cortez, the son, when we came, took the BOM and pamphlets from the drawer and gave it to his mom. Amber was really keen to learn and just amazing - other people would say 'I'm going for training' but would not invite us in for a few minutes. We set return appointment with her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Alex, the one whom we found painting his fence, we got to meet him again, still talkative and told us that no one knows about God's plan for us, even after sharing the Plan of Salvation, to which he said were only theories and no one knew. He was not willing to learn and pretty set in his beliefs; though there were times that he agreed, but when he noticed himself agreeing to us, he would argue again so we just left it at that. He accepted to read the POS pamphlet..maybe he would be ready some other time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sushi and Chinese food. After lunch, we visited a member in Narre Warren ward, in Dandenong hospital, because she broke her leg from falling as she was trying to reach her cupboard. We shared a message about hope and faith. Her family had stake callings once but no longer active in church now, sad, though she's still strong in her faith and had patience. We didn't have enough time to visit more people as planned because we needed to pick up some Sisters and go to Braeside Stake Center for the mini mission weekend.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i style="font-weight: bold;">Apr 17, Mon</i> - Our Pday errands and shopping: pork here was expensive, $19/kg, and we cooked <i>sinigang </i>(pork stew in tamarind). Then, we had family home evening with the Danielson and shared about <i>Looking to Christ and Live</i> in Alma 37:45-47. We then ate the famous Danielson chicken.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Apr 18, Tues</i></b> - Did our emails in the library. After lunch, we had District meeting where we role-played some common questions by investigators and resolved them using Book of Mormon verses. (We had a mission challenge to find answers from the BOM to the 11 most common questions asked by investigators.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We then visited some formers in Noble Park. We parked in Blaby Street, visited the formers close to it, marked our map, but most of them had moved. We were able to talk to this lady who had strong faith and claimed to be the prayer person (intermediary? I forgot her term) for those who didn't know how to pray. She said that she would not accept any religious materials. So we moved on to the next - someone (a Buddhist) who came from Laos and needed Laos pamphlets, then a man weeding his garden but did not need any help when we offered but accepted a pass-along card, said that he knew where the church was and that he always passed by it. It was a fun day walking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Apr 19, Wed</i></b> - We had special conference with Elder Snow and other brethren from the Church History department. There were 4 zones in there and we learned about the goals of the church history department, also got to ask questions in the end of the common church history misunderstandings. After the conference, we drove some sisters to the train station and ate lunch at the plaza.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We had our flat inspection today, after which, we drove again to Noble Park and continued to follow up the investigators. We went to Michael's place for our appointment, we could hear people inside but no one opened the door. So we left a note. We then drove to the Hampton Sisters flat to drop a package for Sister Salesa. She said the garage door was open but we could not open it so we left the package by the door, covered it with plants and hopefully no one would steal it..hehe..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">That night, the Glenroy Sisters stayed in our flat because Sister Tuu'u had to take driving test today in Dandenong. Dory came out. We named this huntsman <i>Dory</i> from <i>Finding Dory</i> because sometimes it disappeared and reappeared in the same location. We thought that it was feeding ground. Anyway, as long as Dory would not go to our bedroom, we let it roam around...hehe..But the Glenroy sisters did not like it so we asked the brave Sister Tuu'u to grab it and chuck it outside. She agreed after a few while of convincing her to do it, no one else would dare.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We visited Mulgrave and met Bro. Murrison whose wife died in Nov 2016. He had not been to church for a long while now but wanted to go back to the temple. We tracted his neighbors and met Zeni, a Filipina. She opened the door, maybe after a few minutes, and shared her whole life to us. She wondered why there are many religions, said that her sister who lived in France found a religion that made her really happy, and what's the difference of religions if each can make someone happy in different ways. Great question. We set up a return appointment on Sunday morning. (We popped by then on Sunday morning, but no one opened the door even if we could hear people inside.) We continued to tract and met a few new contacts and gave out a Book of Mormon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We popped by Mary's house and helped her carry some groceries. She said why we did not come yesterday because she waited. We had an appointment with her yesterday but because of the special conference which we found out the night before and we could not call her because we did not have her number. We said our apologies and set another appointment for Friday morning. (We popped by Friday morning, heard baby noises inside, but no one opened the door.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also did weekly planning today. We also visited more formers and met the Remo boys. We arrived just in time that they got home from school and they invited us in. Very nice Sri Lankan family, but they needed to go check a new house, they were in the middle of moving houses. They told us that they already found new church, that they used to meet American Elders to help the boys learn English. This family was a referral from the Kumarasamy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We tracted the street and a lady opened the door, Talia, said that she was atheist. Her boyfriend came out rather stern and told us that they were not interested. I saw a gold medallion glued to their wall outside saying excellent energy saver house, so I quickly asked them about it to keep the conversation going but they said that they did not know. The guy, Chris, then softened a little bit, asked us where we were from and what we where doing. He asked us if we needed to do what we were doing and we explained that we were volunteers and would only stay in Australia for a few months. Then we talked about places where we could see kangaroos and purple mushrooms. It was a good BRT (build relationship of trust) in the end but they were still not interested. However, it was a great conversation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sister Tuu'u later called us because she found the dumbell that we sneaked into her bag earlier..hahaha..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Apr 21, Fri </i></b>- The car did not start, it didn't make a funny noise like the last time when the car didn't start and we needed to jump start it. We said a quick prayer, I looked at the gear, put the gear to neutral and pushed the car, then tried again and it started..yeay!..Later on, Elder Gray returned our call and asked what's wrong and we told him that we already figured out. He told us that usually car won't start if the gear is on Drive..hahaha..I remembered the gear was on Drive, the reason why it didn't start, that it would start only on Park or Neutral. Later, we related this story to our DL, Elder Knight, who had an even funnier story, where same thing happened to him. They were in Wangaratta District, anything service is 3 hours away and they called the Holden Service. The Holden Service agreed to do it out of mercy and brought a battery to jump start it, but when the guy came, he noticed the gear was on Drive and told him rather angrily that there was no problem..haha..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We did exchanges with the Moorabbin Sisters. I went with Sister Schaub, visited a few new contacts and taught a lesson (Gospel of Jesus Christ) with the Maka family. We also visited Amber and her kids and shared about the Restoration using the pen analogy. The kids participated but later dispersed. Amber, however was teary-eyed when we got to the end of the lesson, and said that she would pray about the Book of Mormon. The Spirit was very strong in that lesson and we set a return appointment next week.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We then joined the Tamana family, a member-missionary family, for dinner and shared the Reach out with Love mormon message. We also picked up the Sisters from their dinner with the George family. They also had a miracle from the street we altogether planned for them to tract. It was already a bit dark, but they decided to knock just one house when the mom (Muslim) opened the door and invited them in. Mehdi, 19-year old son, said that he wanted to learn. They taught him about prophets and prayer. His family was Muslim but did not practice their religion. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Apr 22, Sat</i></b> - Today is Jason McCallister (8 years old) baptism. I was asked to give a talk about the Holy Ghost and my companion was asked last minute to talk about baptism when the assigned speaker did not show up. Touraj came to the baptism as well. We were talking about the Book of Mormon when Bishop passed by and heard us. Bishop had encouraged Touraj to read from both the Persian and English BOM for one hour each day so that his English would improve as well as his testimony. Touraj had accepted the challenge and read 19 pages last night. So awesome. Bishop was so awesome too!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was sunny in the morning but then rained in the afternoon. We stayed under a tree and later stayed in one of the houses' garage and called some formers in our phone. We got to talk to Pat from Sri Lanka who wondered why the missionaries did not come back to visit him, so we set up appointment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We went to a house where the former moved and occupied by a family from NZ. They said they met missionaries before and we set appointment with them. They pointed to the next house and that Chinese people lived there, maybe the family that we were looking for, in the record, it did say Chinese. We knocked and the mom opened the door, but she could not speak English so she grabbed her phone and asked us to talk to the phone google translate. I forgot my Chinese and I was lucky I had a pass-along card in Chinese which i gave to her. When she read <i>Yisu Jidu </i>(Jesus Christ), she then said <i>No, no</i>. We understood that she was not interested, at least, she kept the card. That was a fun experience.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Narre Warren Sisters needed some progress record so we dropped some and cooked dinner with them.</span></div>

They were taught at the same time but only Bing was baptized. (They were the Chinese formers we were looking for and called their number, wife was nice and we set up an appointment.) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After the hiking, we went back to the flat, showered and changed, picked up the Narre Warren Sisters and went to Spotswood (Footscray area) for another Pday in our zone. We went to the Planetarium but when we got there, it was sold out. The man at the service desk said that we could only do general entry. then the other missionaries from the zone arrived, They spoke to the man again. As we were about to pay $14 each, the man gave us free tickets instead because we're volunteers..yeay! Also, as we were parking the car, a lady stopped and gave us her all-day parking ticket, back to back freebies..blessings!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We visited the Boulle family and the young kids with cool names - Summer, Skye, Storm- who were very energetic. We shared the #Princeofpeace video with this family. We also visited the other names in the ward list and we met Lawless. She said that she's not quite ready to come back yet. We respected her decision and told her that she could always call us when she needed to.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We stopped by the Palalagi's place as we were in the area. In Samoan, the G is pronounced as Ng, thus Palalangi. We talked to the daughter, then Sister Palalagi came so we shared to them the #PrinceofPeace video and they offered to prepare dinner for us. We helped in the cooking..actually my companion did the cooking with the daughter, Mahi. haha..Mother Palalagi and I watched them while we set the table..hehe..they cooked a lovely Thai curry.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We then visited Margaret, Fijian, who lived near the area. While knocking on her door, we saw two possums climbing the neighbor's house..cute..actually huge. Anyways, we got to meet Margaret and shared the #PrinceofPeace with her. I memorized this video already but everytime we watched it, there was always something that would stand out to me, or other people point out that I hadn't noticed before..so amazing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After lunch, we tracted the street of Des before we went for our 3pm appointment with him. We met some of his neighbors, one of them was Dustin. Dustin talked to us for a bit and said that he had his own beliefs but his family might be interested. He invited us to come back next week after 7 pm when his family would be home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then we met Des. He shared some of his questions and thoughts about last General Conference. He listened to Elder Acosta's invitation to be baptized. Des was still skeptical and said that there is only one door to heaven as long as one believes in God. We told him that the door needs a key, referring to proper authority; he didn't believe but he was still nice and open to discussion. He gave us lemons from his garden and some easter eggs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also visited some former investigators in the area, some dated 10 years ago, to update our info if they moved or not.</span><br />

She was kind of dodging us and we invited her to watch the #PrinceofPeace video, to which she accepted.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Another house we followed-up but no one was home. As we were walking back to the car, we saw a possum in the middle of the road. I wanted to look closely so I walked towards it. As I walked, there was a man outside his house, doing some arrangements for his plants to sell tomorrow at the market, and he saw me. I felt compelled to talk to him..hehe..and my companion joined in. We talked to him and he kind of spilled his whole life to us. He was Vietnamese, said he sometimes felt lonely and desired to look for a church to join. He had colleagues who were Mormons. When we invited him to learn more, he paused for a bit, thought for a while, then said "it's ok, I'll call you when I need you." That was an interesting encounter. As we left, guess what? The possum was gone...hehe.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>April 16, Sunday</i></b> - Matthew Lawrence and his whole family came to church; Bro. and Sister Seppings as well. Des came and talked to us. Sometimes I wonder how a man like Des, prolly now in his 70's, came to church a billion times and church members knew him already, but still he didn't recognize that he could receive many blessings if he would be baptized.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We had the Easter musical presentation at night which was very spiritual. We were glad a lot of church members invited their non-LDS friends.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After the MLC, we went to visit former investigator, Emmanuela. As we were walking towards their home, Martha (mom) opened the door before we got to it. She told us that Emmanuela was in church for an activity. Martha was nice, we talked about Restoration, and she said that she had an Arabic BOM and still remembered the missionaries visiting her years ago. We set return appointment for next week.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We then picked up the Narre Warren Sisters and Sister Koroi who stayed with them during our MLC.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>March 25, Sat</i></b> - We had our combined District Meeting and got to meet new missionaries in our zone. We did splits with Sister Freda and sister Danielson; and, exchanges with the Narre Warren Sisters. Sister Masi stayed with me for the day and she still remembered the people she used to visit when she was a golden with Sister Tupu and Sister Teriipaia in this area last year. On the other hand, Sister Koroi and Sister Freda visited people in Bowmore Cres in Noble Park, then we got back together and did service with the Fear family.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We helped Samantha water some plants while Brother and Sister Fear were away for the holidays.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also visited Melissa, a single mom who lived with her two kids in Noble Park. We shared about prayer in Alma 377:37. She had a strong testimony and she met missionaries just door knocking years ago. Her two kids, 4 and 14 years old, had been bugging her to go to church. She raised her kids well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We visited a less active family and said that she did not want to force her kids. All kids were baptized except for one, Daniel, 11 years old. She said that missionaries used to teach him but stopped, and that there was nothing we could do help her. When asked about her family goals, she kind of soften up. When we asked if we could share a message, she called Daniel to join us. Daniel joined in the lesson and we shared about 3Ne 18:19-21 about praying with your family. We taught Daniel how to pray, he had a lot of questions and asked us if God would appear to him if he would pray. Then his mom testified and told him 'no' but that the Spirit would be there so he could feel God's presence. Amazing!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>March 26, Sunday</i></b> - The Rogers family came to visit our ward..yeay! Bishop Rogers' mom was in our ward. Bishop Rogers told me updates about Tamar Ward, said that Abbey and Brielle had been coming to church and preparing for baptism while Alice and Mason were married. I told him, "well, things happened when I left." Bishop said, "yeah, we were relieved." Hahaha..he was so funny and always had a big smile.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Sister Soh had been a member for long. Her daughter was baptized first, then after coming to church with her daughter for 5 years, she decided to be baptized. Her husband was nice but not a member yet. He would leave every time the missionaries would share a message but Sister would invite him always. Invitations could go a long way too. Sister Soh volunteered in the temple for more than 5 years now.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";"> Looked like she's holding a brocolli..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">We did our emails today 'coz yesterday was Labor Day. After doing emails, we went to a referral from one of the members. The referral opened the door and when she noticed our name badge, she suddenly closed the door, oh well..Then we popped by Des place, another investigator named Des. We met him in church last Sunday; it was a miracle because we planned to visit Des on Sunday morning but we didn't have time, then we met him in church. He lived across an LDS member who had been his friend for so long. He had been coming to church for over 10 years now but did not believe. Weird..He liked that the church is family-centered.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">We met Sister Inu today and learned that she grew up in the church but left when she was 18 after attending Seminary and Institute classes. She said that she did not believe anymore after having a Muslim boyfriend. Anyways, we shared about Lehi's vision of the Tree of Life; she remembered and even explained more. She was surprised that she could still remember. She said that she would read the Book of Mormon again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Then we met Liliana and shared more about the BOM. Liliana and Sister Inu were neighbors; Liliana wanted to be invited during lessons with Sister Inu so she could also fellowship..Yeay!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">We had dinner with Sister Perreira and the Olivares family. Sister Perreira is the mom of one of the featured personalities in the BOM ads.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Before we went back to our flat, we decided to visit one more former investigator. We knocked and we were just gonna set a return appointment because it was already 8:30 pm but the son invited us in. The mom changed from her pajama clothes and the dad came to the living room. The family gathered and we found out that the dad was a member. He shared his mission life in France. He said that his family went to Catholic church and he went to his own alone, then later joined his family. He said that he never lost his testimony but it was weakening. At that moment, he said that he wasn't ready to come back. For me, it was still a miracle that we were invited in and the whole family gathered around to meet us.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><b><i>Mar 16, Thursday</i></b> - Met Sister Taufa, strong mom, husband was not a member but she constantly shared the scriptures and invited him to read them. The husband was a strong member of another faith and because Sister Taufa didn't like arguments, she went to church with him too. We shared about BOM video and Sister Taufa said that she would set up a family home evening schedule where we could meet her husband.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Had lunch with Sister Bataillard, awesome LDS, and suggested that we visit a Filipino nearby.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">We visited Sister Foundulaki, formerly Sister Dichoso, a cousin of Uncle Boy De Dios..small world! Then we took the train and GQ'ed; met a few people and able to share some gospel points.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">We then had dinner with Sister Balmes. She used to work in the mission office and an awesome mom. Then we met Touraj and Ehsan at the chapel and watched Finding Faith in Christ. After the lesson, Touraj said that he couldn't join the Addiction group recovery tonight because he was not feeling well and just lost his job. When they went out, the car did not work. We asked some members from Hampton Ward who were practicing Dance if they had jump start or knew cars. Two men came out and helped. One served in the Philippines and just got back 5 months ago.They happen to know a certified mechanic. Touraj did not lose his patience with his series of unfortunate events and asked for the names of the guys who helped him. He was happy despite. Those guys were great in fellowshipping even though we were not in same ward. The gospel is one big family!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Back in our flat, we saw two big huntsman spiders. Sister Manosig was brave enough to grab one spider and put it in a plastic bag. She asked me if I could grab the other one, hahaha...I left it there..next morning, it was gone..I don't know where it went, hopefully outside.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">On our way to dinner with the Fainga family, we knocked one door and met somebody from Samoa. She was a seventh-day adventist but had been visited by missionaries before. She was really nice and she mentioned that we should also visit the Fainga family because they were also nice..haha.., now I have a challenge to the Fainga family to get to know their neighbors. Later on, we found out that the Faingas gave her some treats last Christmas. Amazing family who reached out to their neighbors. Neigbors did remember and appreciate such.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">We tried to visit another former but Lisa was not home. We called her phone, she was nice and we invited her to family home evening this Monday with the Danielsons. She said she would come..cool.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">We met Laura today and shared the Restoration cups. She had interesting questions, understood and liked the Restored church especially the sealing power that binds families. She said she would come next Sunday, though she was really involved in her church, she would like to visit other churches to compare..she was really keen.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sister Pratt and I visited Raymond. Raymond remembered that he read the BOM when he was 10 back in Chile but he lost his copy. We gave him another copy of the Spanish BOM; he said he would read it again and compare to the Bible. At this time, he was more into teaching us than us teaching him. He said he could not believe that Jesus Christ visited America. We're excited for him to read the BOM again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We then met with Ehsan in the Library and shared more about the Priesthood and Prophets. He was really excited to learn and told us that when his English would get better, he would be the one teaching us. He couldn't wait to learn more.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After Ehsan, our next appointment was Chelvam but couldn't make it, so Sister Pratt called Ivy, talked to her in Mandarin and set up another service project with her tomorrow. then we joined the Sisters in the city for dinner. they prepared Mexican food, an advanced treat for Sister Pratt's birthday on March 10th.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Mar 9, Thurs</i></b> - Flat inspection today. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then we helped Ivy move some stuff from the truck to her house. the Churchill Park Elders, Elder Knight and Elder Hsieh, came to help as well. Ivy prepared beef fried rice for us.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After the service, we did our weekly planning. We got invitation from the Agawin family for a 'binignit' snack. (Binignit is dessert soup from Central Philippines made from slices of bananas, sweet potatoes, with edible and shaped powdery starch in colors, cooked in thick coconut milk.) We went and taught Fewan about the plan of Salvation. He was 7, turning 8 and preparing for his baptism on April 1. We visited Krishna but he was not home. We also popped by Megan but her mom was not home so we would visit her another time. We also tracted the street of Stephanie (LA) but her mom told us that she was not home. As we were heading back to the car, we met Mikayla who was walking back to the house from the park with her two kids. We shared a bit about the Plan of Salvation and she said that we could visit her again when we would be in the area.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Mar 10, Friday</i></b> - Exchanges with Moorabbin Sisters. I went with Sister Marlowe in Moorabbin while Sister Schaub joined Sisters Manosig and Koroi in Dandenong. Sister Marlowe had been out for 11 weeks now and she would be leading the area. She said she was nervous but it did not show. She was great and she knew who to visit and where to find people. She had this keyboard thing that I did not know about, but President Vidmar said that she could use it. She could type her emails and save them in files and upload to the computer. Really cool and effective journal writing for me. I needed this..only if I had known earlier..huhuhu.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(L) - keyboard thingy I mentioned above; (R) - mini-Venus fly trap plant</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We went GQing in the train and talked to some people from Moorabbin station to Parkdale. I talked to a Filipino but declined because she was strong Catholic while Sister Marlowe got two contacts. As were about to take the next train, we met this lady, Margaret. She said that she had a pretty rough life and she lost her husband which she really missed. She hoped for life after death. She said that it was really a miracle that we met her because she was supposed to take the train but she missed it and then she met us. She refused to give any more details (address and number) and told us that if it was meant to be, we would meet her again. She accepted a pass-along card with our details.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We got off at Ormond station and tracted for a bit. We met Dona and set a return appointment with her tomorrow. We also met Ursula, Hindu, studying Masters in IT, accepted a BOM after we invited him to read the Intro part. He was not going to accept it but we kind of insisted to just read the Intro, and then he asked, "how much do I owe you?" We told him that it's free, he was surprised and said that he would visit church this Sunday. We also visited a few of their less actives and a referral from the office who requested a copy of the BOM but he was not home. We also called a former investigator, John, who had moved to Endeavor Hills. He agreed for a visit tomorrow.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Wantirna Sisters came to our flat and Sister Cehajic stayed with us in Dandenong while Sister Fraedrich and Sister Manosig went back to Wantirna. (</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sister Cehajic is from Austria and speaks German, Bosnian, English; she was baptized just over a year and the only member in the family. Been here in the mission 11 weeks.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Mar 11, Sat</i></b> - We met John and talked to him in his porch. He said that he did not believe in God but he had survived car accidents. He fell asleep while driving and woke up just in time to avoid an oncoming truck. He wanted the best for his two kids but just not religious. We set some expectations for him and asked him if he would act if he would learn that what we shared were true. He thought about it for a while and said that we could come back next week. Miracle. He was really hard and not serious at first, but we'll see.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We followed up Seni, the guy we met on the street. We knocked and her mom-in-law opened the door. She's Croatian, what are the odds. Sister Cehajic spoke to her in their language. She said that she's too old to change beliefs and told us that Seni was in NZ for holidays. We also popped by Amanda's place but she was sick. We talked a bit about horse riding because Sister Cehajic and Amanda both love it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then we had lunch, some studies and drove to the Fear family. We would be having splits again with Sister Fear this time. Sister Koroi and Sister Fear would pair to visit people on the RS list. Sister Koroi was awesome working with members even if she was new.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sister Cehajic and I visited Marlene, said she enjoyed coming back to church after 3 months of inactivity. She listened to BOM vocals on her phone and showed us where she's now. She remembered that I love kumquats and she was gonna give me a bag but I told her that I would pick it myself..so I picked 2 again..hehe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We tracted for a bit and met the Lawrence family. We shared the Word of Wisdom with them. She told us that she did her commitment to call her brother in Brisbane about her son's baptism, that it boosted her brother's confidence and desire to return to church. We suggested that the goal for Matthew's baptism be on April 27th. She said that she would inform her brother and would always come to church from now on with Matthew.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sister Fear brought us fish 'n chips and we ate these in the chapel while waiting for Mehdi. He was a former investigator who called us out of the blue and wanted to meet us. We had been canceling our appointment with him for the past 3 days now because he was only available 7pm and we could not do it this week. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mehdi came at 8pm. He met the Elders in the city 3 years ago which he still remembered. He also remembered the Sisters who visited him - Sisters Almond, Tupu and Albania. He said that they invited him to be baptized and to pray about it but he didn't receive an answer. He liked to meet missionaries though and he could understand English better now. He said that he would read and study the BOM and meet with us. We were happy that we waited for him today even though it was pretty late for us because of the exchange. We felt his desire to know more.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Had been a fun exchange with the Wantirna Sisters.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Mar 12, Sun</i></b> - Yeay..finished exchanges with all Sisters. Today, we planned to visit part members in Endeavor Hills. We visited Joan, investigator; her mom opened the door, Filipino from Bacolod (Central Philippines). She invited us in for pancakes and strawberries. We sat around the table with Lily and Paul, Joan's parents, the only time to get together as a family, and talked a bit about traveling. They said they were strong Catholics and didn't want a copy of the BOM. When asked if we could share a verse, they agreed and so we shared Alma 37:37 about prayer and receiving guidance from God. Lily cried and Paul's heart was softened. They shared about their other daughter who had depression, that they did not know how to help her and the scripture enlightened them. Miracle. They said we could come back next Sunday, same time, and share why there are a lot of religions. Lily then introduced us to her son, a barber, with his clients in the garage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also met Medina, Des neighbor, who helped her move her stuff. We shared the Plan of Salvation with her and she had a lot of questions. She did not like the the idea of eternities. Music made her happy but she did not want to listen to music for eternities. We invited her to join us for dinner with a member family and she said she would try. Medina is Chinese-Turkish.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Agawin family invited us for dinner. They cooked us 'bulalo' (beef stew) and 'chicharon'. They are from Cagayan de Oro City (Southern Philippines). We shared the Restoration cups with them.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Bonding time at this difficult time where my two companions just learned of deaths in the family - Sister Manosig's father passed away 2 days ago and Sister Koroi's grandfather passed away 2 months ago. A stroll in the beach was one of the Manosig family funtimes in the Philippines.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><strong><em>Feb 28, Tuesday</em></strong> - District Meeting today. We did some role-plays about the Plan of Salvation. The Ward knew about the sad news about my companions and they shared some words of comfort. Then, we had lunch with the Fear family. Sister Fear was awesome and did splits with us so we could visit more people. We visited some new contacts and found more contacts when we tracted the street. The Lynbrook Sisters stayed with us tonight for Golden review tomorrow. Sister Caguimbal and Sister Manosig were companions before and knew each other back in the Philippines, my same intake.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">We went to the address given by Ali, the guy we GQed on the street; turned out he gave us wrong address but we met 2 new contacts. The man living in the address is Neville, been to the Philippines, and had neighbor Laura who came outside too; while we talked to Neville, Sister Manosig spoke to Laura. We both have return appointments with them on Saturday at 4 and 5 pm. Neville had a Filipino friend in Cebu who was strong LDS, though he said he was not into religion but willing to listen.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also Touraj and taught him more about Faith. Touraj really liked to learn more about Jesus Christ and watched Bible videos. He had heaps of trials at the moment, from searching jobs and learning English but he said,"I have trials, many. I don't like them but I know God would help me." Simple but powerful testimony from him.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><strong><em>Mar 2, Thurs</em></strong> - Today was Zone Temple day. We had a great time; always best experience going inside the Temple. We then got a call from the Zone leaders if we could help out a member who just moved in Hampton Park. When we got to the place, we found out it was Ivy. I met her during exchanges with the Glen Waverly Sisters. She was so grateful for our help and she cooked us fried rice.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">After correlation meeting with our Ward mission leader, we drove to Mooroolbark. It was a big area and the Sisters did not have a car. The bus system was not really good and very hilly and not good for biking. So we grabbed this opportunity to double into their area and help them visit people who lived far away.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><strong><em>Mar 3, Friday</em></strong> - I was with Sister Chang and Sister Koroi while Sister Manosig paired with Sister Cruz. Their parents are best friends in the Philippines and they visit each other twice a week.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Mooroolbark Sisters drink juice in the morning, made of tomato, onion and lemon. I was brave enough to try this one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">We visited Bill, nice and funny, and commented that we were smart Sisters for answering his questions. We invited him to read the scriptures because he could also find answers for himself and he said that he would come to church. We also talked to a few people on our way back to the car. We met this Irish lady and we get to talk a bit about Ireland and the places I visited. She lived in Belfast before. We did not have much time to talk but she accepted a card before she hopped into the car, her husband picked her up.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">We did our weekly planning in one of the parks and we got to talk to an older couple having BBQ. We also met Anita, LDS, having birthday party with some family.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Sister Clark came with us to visit Des and she served us Tinola (Chicken stew). Sister Des was stressed at the moment looking for a place to move by Monday, March 6. We comforted her with our message of patience. She was strong and said that she would come to church tomorrow.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">We did splits today; Sister Manosig paired with Sister Clark to visit Laura and Neville. I was with Sister Koroi to visit Raymond and the Seppings family. The last time with Sister Tuu'u, that was not the Raymond who called us whom we met. Raymond called us again and asked why we did not come. We tried to look for his address in Keys St. but saw only buildings 2, 3, 4, 6, 7. As we were walking back to the car, we noticed that the perpendicular road where we parked had house numbers 15 and 17, which meant that the opposite houses were even numbers. We looked for house #16 and found it, knocked, and Raymond opened the door. Turned out that he was the man who I saw walking towards that door when we were looking for the houses but I didn't stop because we were in a hurry for appointment. <em>Lesson learned</em>: It is important not just to go swiftly but also pause and look for opportunities to always talk to everyone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">When we came to Brother Seppings, we found out his concern - he did not want to change his religion, rather born and die a Catholic. Sister Seppings said that we should not give up on her husband (the only non-LDS in his immediate family) but pray for him, tapping Bro. Sepping's shoulder while she was talking. Brother Sepping said that he felt good going to LDS church (not going to Catholic church anymore); because he felt good, he did not see the need to get baptized..<em>hmm..people's agency sometimes is frustrating but we are working on our patience..hehe..</em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">We then had dinner with Sister Clark and she cooked us corned beef..yeay, my fave. Sister Clark was grateful for the experience today and for inviting her. She said that though she had trials of her own, she realized that other people had harder ones than her. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><strong><em>Mar 5, Sunday</em></strong> - We had Ward council. Des came to church though she was stressed about her moving. She cried and said that she could not stay but we still invited her to join Gospel Principles class. She stayed for class and said that she felt good. Lesson was about prophets, she participated and answered questions during discussions. She was awesome but had to leave after the class.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I also met two Sister Dumapias. They said that there were many Daroys in Iligan, asked if I was Norman's daughter. When I asked if they knew Daniels..haha..the other Sister not in photo said that Norman visited her sister in Sweden, also said that my mom was smart..the thing I did not inherit..haha.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">We visited Des after church and helped her a bit in packing. She was grateful and introduced us to her neighbor, Medina, and invited her to church..what a great fellowshipper already.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">We had dinner with the Lavaka family, former Bishop in Dandenong but now serving in Stake presidency. Their oldest son was serving in Philippines Olongapo mission, sometimes ate porridge (<em>Arroz Caldo, has chicken meat</em>) as the best food the family can offer. The Lavaka both served missions. We had a feast, very yum food.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Walking back to the car, I was the last one but I saw this big full tattooed man walking his dog, wearing headphones. I waved and he waved back and removed his headphones. We talked for a bit and then later, my companions joined. He was Seni from Tonga and he had LDS friends too. He was nice and gave us his address and number. We invited him to meet the Lavaka, Tongan family as well, and he agreed. We just needed to set an appointment with him. Cool experience, not to judge but to talk to everyone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">We also met the Te Hiwi family, Maori, with 10 children. Nice family. Sister Te Hiwi knew a lot of church doctrines. She stopped coming to church because of cancer..forgot the name but it affects the vocal chords and 10% of Aussies get it. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After the District Meeting today, we did some splits. Sister Manosig partnered with Sister Tami while I paired with Sister Koroi. We visited a former investigator but the address on the records had no unit number so we tracted 4 units. On the last door, Upansa opened the door and talked to us. She's Sri Lankan, we shared a bit about Restoration and set a return appointment with her next week. We also followed up another Sri Lankan, Krishna, who was studying and working in Dandenong. He said he would come to church on Sunday, been there before and knew the address.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also received a referral from headquarters to visit Sharon who wanted a copy of the Book of Mormon (BOM). She was not at the address and so we called her and set an appointment on Thursday. She said she was moving and so we referred her to the Elders in her new place. We then got an update that she lived in the AP area and the Elders taught her and set a baptism date on March 18th. A miracle! She was ready to accept the restored gospel.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We then met Ehsan at the Temple grounds. We shared with him about Tithing, Law of Chastity and how the body is like a temple. He said that he is Christian now, new life, and that he could easily give up anything. President Vidmar interviewed him and he said that Ehsan had a tender soul. President invited him to read Joseph Smith's testimony, the only resource in Persian in addition to the BOM. President said he had strong testimony and was ready to be baptized. After this, we drove to the Hampton Park Sisters for exchanges.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I went with Sister Leilua and Sister Koroi in their area, Samoan program. We did 1-minute sharing of Restoration during our studies. and then visited investigators. We meet the Sua family and taught in Samoan. I learned a few words such as talofa lava (hello), oi mai oe (how are you) and some other phrases. One of the members gave us dinner and eggs. Their area was great because members helped in giving referrals and rides to Sisters. We also GQed at the train station and were able to get 6 new contacts. GQ at the train station is effective because they listened to our 1-minute sharing of the restored gospel while waiting for the train. When I GQed Divya, she pondered about the purpose of life and was keen among the people we met. She was nice, gave her details and I would surely follow up.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Feb 23, Thurs</i></b> - We visited Des this morning and helped her pack. Every time we visit, she had friends to refer. We shared with her about God's love and the BOM. She said she would come to church and read the BOM she finds a flat to move in. For now, she was busy and worried to find a place within 2 weeks. She prepared longganisa and we brought our packed lunch (bacon and sausages) and ate lunch together. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We went to Fieona's place but she was not home so we knocked 5 doors. Fifth door, we met Lucretia from Romania and we talked about her grape vines hanging in her garage space. She gave us some grapes from the vine. She said she was not interested in our message but when we talked more about the grapes, she later invited us in..haha..We shared with her the BOM and prophets. She was a strong believer of Baptist church but said that we could come in April after comparing the BOM with the Bible. We asked if we could still popped by when we are in the area and she said 'yes'. Miracle. She shared her experiences how her husband escaped Romania during the war and later followed him here. She also shared about her hardships queueing for food and sometimes end up with no food at all. She recognized her blessings in Australia and that they're from God.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We then drove to Library to meet Arif from Pakistan, atheist, and a former investigator. When we did the lesson and closing prayer, he rebuked us for not having a prayer before the lesson, as he remembered the previous missionaries. Lesson for us - we got distracted with his questions. He still did not believe in God but after the prayer, he asked us to pray for him. We invited him to pray to God tonight and he said 'yes'. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We then drove to the Ariki family, daughter of the Ariki family that we had visited before. Brother Ariki had served a mission. After dinner, we role-played with them how to share the BOM and they were cooperative. Then we drove back to Narre Warren before the ward correlation meeting. After the correlation meeting, I quickly packed and drove to meet the Glen Waverly Chinese Sisters at the Temple grounds who just finished a stake activity.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I paired with Sister Guan and golden Sister Dobberfuhl from Japan. She studied in America, spoke Japanese and English well. Her Dad is American and served a mission in Japan while her Mom is Japanese. We had lunch with one of the less actives they had been working with. They served us dumplings and I got to learn different languages which was cool. I learned a new Chinese phrase - 'hen gaoxing renshi ni' which means it's nice to meet you. Sisters Guan and Dobberfuhl shared the Plan of Salvation with them and I listened and prayed for them.</span></div>

She wanted to be baptized but said that she (21) needed to ask her Mom. She was GQed by the Sisters at the train station a year ago. She had her first lesson from Sisters Burden, Tupu and Almon and she still remembered them. She had been to conference, loved it and wanted to continue learning.</span></div>

We shared the video 'Protect our Nestling' talks about protecting families. Sister George was strengthened and determined to help one another protect their family. As we were heading out, we met Maria, their aunt who was not LDS. We talked to her outside for a bit and shared questions of the soul and the BOM. We also asked her 'if you can ask God any question, what would it be?' She paused for a moment and said that we could meet up again and she would tell us. We got her number and gave her BOM pamphlet with some questions of the soul and scripture verses. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We had dinner with Sister Clark and she cooked Filipino food. She told us about her neighbors whom she had been sharing the gospel with. We role played with her about sharing the gospel and inviting people to FHE. She said she would do the way they role-played in sharing the gospel this week. Sister Clark is awesome. Missionaries knocked on her door in 2003 when she was cooking. The Elders had only 5 minutes to talk since they were heading to a dinner appointment. She invited them in but they said they would come back another time, then she got baptized, then years later, her 4 kids got baptized too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Feb 26, Sunday </i></b>- We did our weekly planning this morning before heading to church. We called one of the former investigators, Ed, and invited him to church. The other person on the line said his name was Ali and that he would come. In church, we met Ali and said that he did not understand who we are, and that he was from Pakistan and a Muslim. But since he was in church, we invited him in, witnessed Ehsan's confirmation, </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">stayed only for a short time and left. Before he left, he said that we could call him to set up appointment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The Lawrence, Matthew 10 and Mom, also came to church. Matthew loved Primary and happily shared to us what he learned.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After the conference, we drove the Lynbrook Sisters back to their area. then we visited the part-member family Seppings. Brother Seppings was nice but didn't want to change yet. His wife used to be the Relief Society president and very active in Church. The children were active too and helping their Dad to accept the teachings. We shared with the family about Temples. Brother Seppings was willing to read and pray about the Book of Mormon again.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Feb 15, Wed</i></b> - Today, we had District Meeting and did a lot of role plays. Then, we had exchanges with the Lynbrook Sisters who were just 20 minutes away from us. Sister Tamani came with me to Dandenong while my other companions worked in Lynbrook with Sister Caguimbal. </span><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We visited a few new contacts and did some tracting as well. This was Sister Tamani's 2nd week in the mission field. She was willing to learn and so while driving, we did some role plays on how to approach people on their doors. We had a miracle when we visited Milika, the new contact we found last week. The son opened the door and told us that Milika left 10 minutes earlier. We then met her daughter, Nora, who said she is Muslim, and we gave her a card and invited her to visit the website. She then said, "Oh wait, you are Mormons. I know about the play in the city. I know that it is a mockery to your beliefs. I was gonna look for people like you so I can ask for a copy of the Book of Mormon and read it, I love reading." So we gave her a copy and a brief introduction. She was surprised that the Book of Mormon (BOM) is free. She was leaving for work so we would share more when we come back.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Feb 16, Thurs</i></b> - This morning, we did some 12 weeks study and role plays. We had lunch at the Lynbrook flat, cooked corned beef and fried chicken..YUM. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then we switched back to our companionships.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We visited the Ariki family from New Zealand. We read 1Nephi 3:5-7 with Sister Ariki's 5-yr old granddaughter and learned more about Nephi's obedience. The girl's Dad was not active but Cilicia knew a lot of stories in the Book of Mormon because Sister Ariki read with her everyday. Bright kid. The family served us barbecue for dinner. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We had missionary correlation with Brother Tukukino. The ward was on fire..haha. Bro. Tukukino was on top of things. He had a list of potential fellowshippers with previous religions, word-of-wisdom concerns, etc. so they could relate to our investigators. He had a list of families who were willing to do Family Home Evening with our investigators, more than once a week. Really big ward. We shared the ward with ZL, used to be the APS ward, too..STL, ZL and AP, but now just two companionships.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On our way back to the car, we got stuck at the train station for a while because the myki card of my companion did not work, so we recharged it, then tried again, still not working. We asked the officer who let us in, tried again on the other side and worked and she said "Well, I don't know what's wrong." We ran to the parking lot and the police officer just passed by our car with a printed ticket, $78. We told him what happened but he said that he printed the ticket already and told us to go online. My first parking ticket!!! GGGRrrr..Elder Hyde from the office said that he would help us make an appeal. I'm not worried for the money but I don't want a record..huhuhu..that's fine though..hehehe..lesson learned. The parking allowed only for 2 hours maximum so we couldn't put more time.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Because we were in the city, we had exchanges with North Melbourne Chinese Sisters. I stayed in the city with Sister Fong, 6 days old in the mission, Chinese background but born in Utah. My other companions, Sisters Manosig and Koroi, were with Sister Patchell. We had a lesson with Kim in the city branch, a student, baptized just last July and planning to serve a mission. Good thing he had pretty good English and so we taught about prodigal son and repentance in English. I also learned that they also had bread run every Friday but we were late to get to the shop; bread thrown already when we got there. We also had game nights in the city where they play games with investigators. Sister Fong was good with the trams and area in just 6 days even though she thought otherwise. They were staying in the same flat that I stayed when I had exchanges with my STL last year..whew..so long ago..hahaha..</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Feb 18, Sat</i></b> - We had English class in the morning. Conan, an investigator, came and we taught him a lesson in Chinese afterwards,. I learned few Chinese words - faith xinxin, repentance huigai. It's amazing how during the lesson I know quite well what's going on and I was able to add my testimony as well. Conan had good English, studying Masters in Linguistics and wanted to teach Chinese here in Australia. He was willing to read and study the Book of Mormon and he had read Alma 32. He said that he would be baptized when he knows it's true. He prayed for the first time after the lesson. Praying was one thing he was invited to do and now he prayed after three meetings. Miracle. Then we did GQ in the city, really different to GQ Chinese people here in the city than in Sandy Bay, Tasmania. I was excited to see sister Pratt coz we relate on the difference of GQ in both areas.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Feb 19, Sunday</i></b> - Sister Manosig's birthday. We had ward council in the morning and we were asked to bear our testimony during Sacrament meeting. When the conducting priesthood introduced us as new missionaries, Sister Daroy and Sister Koroi, I said that it's easy to remember "full of joy" and they laughed..hehe..We were asked to teach Sunday School youth, 12-13, and we shared about how the BOM answers questions of the soul. We then taught the young women class about BOM and how to introduce it in different ways.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We met Ehsan briefly after church and shared the Word of Wisdom. Ehsan was a miracle. From Islam, he gave up smoking and alcohol when Touraj, the recent convert, told him about the church. When we told him that we also don't drink tea and coffee, he expressed his concerns that he drank tea every morning. Then before we could speak, he said, "I can drink milk in the morning, is milk okay?" We were stunned..haha..concern solved. He was excited for his baptism on Saturday, Feb 25.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also met Ahmed later today when visiting formers. Ahmed is Muslim, too, but he talked to us. He said he would read the Book of Mormon and we set a return appointment at 4:30 next Sunday. When we invited him to church, he said, "Scratch the 4:30, I will come to church and we will discuss more about the Book of Mormon, is that okay?" We were stunned as well. He gave us his number to remind him. He added that he had a lot of Christian discussions previously and wanted to learn more. I thought that Muslims were difficult to teach but turned out that in this area, they were prepared. The other Sisters during exchanges told us that they loved our area because people stop and talk to missionaries, unlike in the city. This week had been really amazing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We had dinner with with Samau Oeti family in their new house and we shared about the Book of Mormon. The Tasmania Sisters called me about the miracles in Tasmania - Alice and Mason, the Terrys. Mason read the BOM diligently and wanted to be baptized on Easter Day. What a miracle!!..a family yeay..even though I would not be able to see them sealed, it's just awesome!</span><br />

We just needed someone to speak their language. We were thinking to really push through with the weekly English classes. There was yet no translation of the Book of Mormon to Nepali. Khjurman said that he can read a bit of Hindi so we gave him Hindi BOM. Wife could not speak English so Sandhaya,the kid, translated for her. Sandhaya told them how her Dad got sick because of the Book of Mormon. But Khjurman said, "naah, only one Jesus, I feel good with them teaching me."

As soon as we entered the gate, Josh came running outside and greeted us, saying "come in, come in." We taught him outside since there was no female in the house. We shared the restoration and he was like "you answered my questions." We invited him to be baptized; we did not even finish the question and he said "yes". He would come to the baptism on Saturday and church on Sunday. He worked on night shifts and not on weekends.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We then visited Amos and Merilyn, also from Sierra Leone and they know the Tarawhally.. Their two young daughters joined us in our discussions. They asked, "Why is there a lot of churches?" We were excited, we shared the lesson about the restoration using the cups. One of the daughters, 14 y.o.. undrstood well and explained to her mon and dad. They promised to read the BOM and meet with us again. They go to the same church of Willard and Ruvinbo, the Door of Hope. They tend to gather in that church because of culture, just like the Nepali people go to Gateway Church be cause they have Nepali speaking ministers.</span></div>

She was an awesome missionary with the desire to serve and had heaps of miracles in her area. We visited Sheldon (LA) and his wife, Isabelle, non-LDS. She didn't join in the lesson and closed the kitchen door but when we started sharing the lesson with Sheldon, she opened the door and we felt like she was listening. Sheldon had a strong testimony of the BOM and desired that his family would be together forever.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We went to Collin's house but he was still at the hospital and met Keely instead. She was a family friend and took care of the house while the family was away. (Later in the week, we called Collin and learned that his wife passed away. Keely didn't grow up religious but somehow knew about God. She accepted a copy of the Book of Mormon and gave us her number. We then visited Katie from Glen Huon who came here during the week to fix and sell her old house. She cooked us lunch. She was referred to the missionaries by Craig whom she was marrying. She offered prayer and said, "God I want to follow you, can you please give me time?"..cute prayer. After Katie, we also did tracting, Sister Murphy's first tracting because she always did GQ. We tracted Nepali families and saw Jamuna and Satuman helping a relative who just moved in from Nepal. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Jan 16, Monday</i></b> - Met a guy, Mark, his grandkid and their dog walking to the shops. We said "Hi" and they stopped and said, "Hey, I remember you." Turned out that we talked to him weeks ago who belonged to the Apostolic church. It's interesting how people do recognize and remember meeting the missionaries even though we didn't recognize them immediately. Then we had dinner with the Kauwhata with their friend Adrian, non-LDS, Jamaican, and staying with them for the holidays. H</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">e didn't stay with us for the message but he used to meet with missionaries in New South Wales when he was with his family.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Jan 17, Tuesday</i></b> - We met Mark again and this time, he was driving his truck and waved at us. Today, we did service at the Vinens. We helped them wash their walls because they were preparing their house to sell. We met Narene and shared the Restoration with her. She accepted a copy of the Book of Mormon to read and set appointment this Tuesday. We had dinner with Sister Roser who invited Bro. Allan. Allan joined the church when he was 18 and served a mission in Salt Lake City; now probably mid 50's.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Jan 18, Wed</i></b> - We helped Sister Baldock organize the library and she gave us ham and cheese scones for lunch. We head home and did "one more" goal for this transfer - stopped at one house and saw 2 people smoking outside. They told us that they were not interested but they have a grandkid, Brandon, who grew up religious so we could come back another time when he is home. We also did former finding today and tracting around their streets as well.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Jan 19, Thurs</i></b> - District Meeting today. We role played about teaching investigators to recognize the Holy Ghost, that God is our loving Heavenly Father, and about the Savior's earthly ministry. We also shared a discussion with Paul and Jackie and read the pamphlet about baptism and baptismal covenants.Then dinner with Jackie with lasagna and slinky apples. We then went to the Tripptrees because I had this prompting the whole day but which I kept dismissing because they were a 'hit and miss' visit. But when we knocked on their door, they were home and let us in and we shared Alma 37:46-47, "Look to God and Live". They shared they wanted to come back to church to strengthen their families. They had 2 daughters serving whom they thought would not take the calling while those whom they expected to serve left the church. They also showed us the wedding photos of Monique who got married last week by Bishop. It was a very spiritual night with this family.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Jan 20, Friday</i></b> - It was raining hard and very windy. We visited Brandon who grew up with religious background, but he did not really think about it. We shared about the Restoration and his comments were fair enough to our invitation to read, ponder and pray about the Book of Mormon. He responded that he would read and pray and set return appointment for Tuesday. We also met Carma and shared about faith and repentance. She understood Faith really well. As we were about to offer the closing prayer, her brother, Tehring, walked into the room and told us that they are Buddhists and that learning about Christianity make them sick, then he walked out of the room. Carma said that we can still offer the closing prayer. She said she was busy working on Sundays. Then we went to Bishop, had dinner and mini correlation meeting while waiting for a new ward mission leader to be called.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Jan 21, Sat</i></b> - We helped clean the chapel today. We also met with Alice and Mason and had a wonderful discussion about the Plan of Salvation. We extended a baptism date with Mason, he responded that he was already baptized and so we explained about priesthood authority. He asked about the process of baptism and we told him that they needed to be married, then develop a testimony of the restored gospel and the Book of Mormon. They said they would go to church tomorrow. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We followed up on new contact Shari. My comp said that she was not home but when we did one more knock...she was home! She invited us in and we shared about Restoration. It was really cool. We found out her concern about trinity and we got a return appointment on Tuesday. We scheduled appointments on Tuesday due to the exchanges with Glen Huon Sisters using our area as the model area. We also met Namay, wife of Padam; found out they were sick, that's why they were not able to come to church. Namay still invited us in even though she was a bit sick. Padam was at work. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Jan 22, Sunday</i></b> - We fasted and prayed again this Sunday. We met Margaret, our new contact last week. She invited us in and we shared about the Plan of Salvation. She liked it and hoped that it is true. She's 90 and belonged to the Church of Christ, said that she would listen to the messages but too late to change and would not go to the LDS church. Fair enough, we told her that we would share the Restoration next week, she may or may not accept it, at least, had the opportunity to hear about it. She survived bladder cancer and skin cancer (on the head). It made us think that we should wear hats or use umbrellas because skin scalp cancer is common..whooo scary. Then we were also able to meet Peggy and the Thomas family. David came to church today, Justine boyfriend.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sad news - David in Georgetown passed away last week. It was weird that he did not return our calls. We were trying to get hold of him because the ward finally organized a team to help put up his shed. His Dad returned our call and told us the sad news. They found his body on Friday, 13th, the 3rd day after he died. His Dad said that he would inform us of the funeral details to be held in Devonport. Jackie said that we helped David prepare for the spirit world and that he was passed on to the missionaries on the other side.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After the interviews, we had exchanges with</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> the Sandy Bay Sisters. I was with Sister Li and we GQed in Sandy Bay. One resident had water for the dogs while water for people was by the doorstep...good samaritan for minding dogs and people on a very hot day like today.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We shared the Plan of Salvation with Luceil. She was a bit interested but can't focus because she was preparing for her English test. She asked us to help her with her English listening skills and so we did. She accepted to read the Book of Mormon to help her with her studies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Chinese Sisters didn't do tracting but we tracted a house where Sister Li saw some Chinese. Indeed, there were Chinese students and we shared about Jesus Christ. They gave us their numbers so we could set up a time to meet them. (Realized my Chinese skills had not improved a bit.) Then we traveled back to Launceston. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Jan 11, Wed </i></b>- We were visiting a former when we saw the McPartlins. Malachi said 'it's the Sisters'..haha..so cute. Turned out that Sister Haley's mom lived right next to Narene, the former. We also found that they knew Narene, fasted and prayed for her, and that her grandkid passed away recently. Narene was not home so we would come back another time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We stopped by Michael and he invited us in but we had no member with us so we shared the Plan of Salvation outside his house. He said he liked the POS but did not want to come to church because of social anxiety issues. We would come again and planned to bring a member so Michael would feel comfortable.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We met Kerren and shared about the importance of partaking the sacrament, then we also tracted around Ravenswood and met a few new contacts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We then drove to Deloraine for the Stake Mission Council Meeting, SMCM. We talked about the Ward Mission Plans and Stake goals for 2017 with the Stake Presidency and President Vidmar over Skype.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><b>Jan 12, Thurs</b></i> - Today we had District meeting and I gave a training about <b>Faith</b> - <b>U</b>nderstand the Principle, <b>L</b>ive the Principle and <b>T</b>each the Principle, that if we understand the principle, then we live it and teach it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We visited Paul and Jackie with Jackie's grandson, Connor, from Melbourne. We talked about the Nephi and the three Nephites. Connor's interest was stirred when he learned about Nephi who showed powers at certain times over his brothers. We also talked about Faith and Repentance using the pamphlet, which we learned later that Connor took with him back to Melbourne.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We tracted around Newnham today and found some new contacts, then we attended Ward Council. The ward aimed for 15 baptisms this year, a number which would either discourage or inspire members. If we want to achieve this goal, we would need to work with members more to engage them in missionary work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Jan 13, Friday</i></b> - Did weekly planning today then out to visit some people. We shared the Plan of Redemption with Bev and Alma 37:35-37 with Rebecca and her kid, Abbey. Miracle to get hold of Rebecca. The missionaries had been trying to visit her but she was always busy with her Dad in the hospital. Her Dad died last week and she was grieving but she let us in. Abbey said she missed church and wanted to come back to learn more. She identified the principle of prayer in Alma 37:35-37 even if the word 'pray' was not mentioned at all..so cool. We meet Robert, Rebecca's husband, non-LDS. He asked to be taught by missionaries years ago but was upset when he felt he was pushed for baptism. He talked to us a bit then we said a prayer. Rebecca said she would come back to church but still busy working for the papers of her deceased Dad. She said we could visit her again though she did not commit for a return appointment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We had two families, Baba and Saha and brother Padam and Namay. They came on Sunday and the baptismal service but didn't understand the speakers. Language barrier. We visited them again, Bro. Peri came with us and shared an awesome lesson. Padam said that he would keep coming to church until he could understand. T.T. so much spirit this family. Despite the language barrier, the presence of a church member made the difference. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Babi and Saha loved the church experience but hardly understood what was being said during Sacrament Meeting. We explained the Priesthood and authority in many different ways and analogies but couldn't understand anything.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Jan 14, Sat</i></b> - Bread Run today. Days ago we met Sheldon. He was painting his trailer when we parked and got off the car. We said "Hi" to him and he said, "I am a member, come teach my family. I have 15y.o. son and my wife is kind of against the church, but we can study together." So we gave him bread today and confirmed our appointment with him the following week. He knew the Wheeler family and so we planned to invite the Wheelers. His name was not in our copy of ward list but when we printed a new one, we found his name.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Jan 15, Sunday</i></b> - Today was Mason and Alice baby Mali blessing. Kino came to church with his daughter, Sarah (8). They did not stay for classes but we got a return appointment with Kino which was good. We fasted today. We are doing Fast and Four Yous for four Sundays this January for 4 solid investigators we were working with. Zone goal: 4.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Jan 2, Monday</b> - It's that time of the month again. Flew to Melbourne, flight was not cancelled this time but the Elders were delayed. We waited at the airport from 6-9 pm. While waiting, I suggested that we pretend to charge our phone and it would be a conversation starter for the person also charging his/her phone. As we were looking for an outlet, we spotted an older lady sitting alone in one of the cafes. I sat next to her while Sister Burden bumped into all the chairs which sparked a conversation with her. I thought she did it on purpose haha and I still praised her for her excellent GQ skills for starting a conversation. hahaha. Talked to this lady and she said that she met missionaries before when she lived in Hobart. She said that she was more spiritual when she was not in any religion. Her husband was atheist and later said 'Hi' to us. They were also waiting for their grandkids on the same delayed flight. An Iranian family joined us as well when we noticed this cute little boy walking around. We gave the Iranian couple a Search Card and they were pretty excited about it. The older couple accepted a card and said that they might check the website.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Jan 4, Wed</i></b> - We did service by helping pick raspberries with the Deloraine Elders' investigator, Kathryn. While helping Kathryn, we asked and talked about 'where we come from, why we are here, and where we are going.' She didn't believe in life after death but believed that our soul after death would join with the energy of the trees and the surroundings. It was weird but she was nice to us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We were excited to pick the raspberries until we were told to watch for snakes. If we see snakes, just leave them alone. if we mind our own business, the snakes would leave us alone. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Later in the day, we visited a former in Trevallyn. As we got off the car, we recognized the house where we previously knocked because someone from the ward list lived here. We proceeded to knock in nearby houses, the last one was interesting. The lady who opened the door said, "Hey Sisters, you found me!" It turned out that she was LDS, Kim, and she had a daughter, Victoria. They stopped coming to church because Victoria has cerebral palsy and she had a hard time differentiating between reality and fantasy, sometimes she would see zombies trying to eat her. We talked about prayers and scripture reading. Kim showed us her quad. We invited her to read the Book of Mormon and pray always. As we checked the ward list, we saw her name with note 'moved', so now we could update it with her new address.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><b>Jan 5, Thursday</b></i> - We had District Meeting today and it was great. We announced some of the reminders from the MLC which included not having zone meetings anymore. We also met Paul and Jackie today and we talked more about the book of Ether. Paul also gave us cheesecake which her mom, Rosanne, made. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We visited a former investigator where we met Sandhaya 10. She's from Bhutan and been living in Tasmania for 4 years now. She spoke good English so we mostly talk to her while her mom and grandpa listened to us. We drew the Gospel of Jesus Christ to her. She told us that they have 3 copies of the Book of Mormon but they threw them out. Her dad got sick one day and the pastor from another church asked if someone gave them a book. The pastor told them to throw the book out because it made their dad sick. The threw the books out and their dad felt better, and so the family believed that the book brought sickness to their dad. Sad. We invited them to attend a baptism service this weekend and they said that they would come.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also dropped some Vietnamese materials to Trinh and she was grateful. We met Dawn but her back was still hurting and told us that we could come around another time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Jan 6, Friday</i></b> - We had our last DLC for this transfer. One of the changes was no more DLC as well unless urgent matters needed to be discussed. We then joined Sister Baldock for lunch. She said that her neighbor has a joey which he rescued from a shooter. Someone shot its mom for dog food. We got to hold it. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Cutee.. not me, the joey...looking fierce? or scared without its mom?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sister Baldock was so lovely and shared her conversion story, that it started with Jackie (a neighbor) who shared a Book of Mormon with her. Now, Sister Baldock had grandchildren who are active in the church. It showed how a small action of sharing the Book of Mormon brought blessings not just for her but also for her generations. She said that she is always praying for the missionaries.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Remember Claire and Kino? friends of Alice and Mason. We tracted their street again, knocked, and Claire opened the door. Kino was sleeping but we gave Claire a Restoration pamphlet to read.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also met Brielle in the Scotts home and taught her the Gospel using the footprint cutouts. We then gave her the Book of Mormon Story reader (picture book) for the kids. She was excited to read it. We read a chapter about Faith and Seed and also taught her how to pray. The Scotts told us that Brielle gave us a thumbs up and happy that we took time to visit her.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Jan 7, Sat</i></b> - We helped Sister Roser with the weeding. I almost passed out because it was very hot. She gave us lunch afterwards but more of 'eat and run' because we had back-to-back appointments.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We attended baptism of Chloe Horsman, 8 y.o., and Babi came with family. We invited Babi last Thursday to witness baptism and now she came with Saha and her husband, Babi's brother and 3 kids. Miracle! They said they enjoyed it and would come to church as well. The kids said they were bored but when Sister Clark told them about Primary, they were excited to come.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also met Alice and Mason and shared about the Book of Mormon. Mason had heaps of questions and interested to learn. He said that it made sense that we have the BOM. He talked about his job as a shearer and compared it to our life and Jesus Christ. Some shearers were cruel to the sheep; some nicked sheep so they needed to stitched the sheep causing some sheep not able to walk for days. The sheep experience is compared to the gospel, how the sheep know their shepherd and vice versa, and that some sheep may suffer in life not always because of their actions but because of others, and that we need the shepherd Jesus Christ to stitch us back. We may all go through shearing moments to help us learn, grow and improve. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also met Ann and her kids - Phoebe, Talya, Gypsy, Alex and her partner, Yogi. We shared about Faith with Yogi. He said that he had been to church with his grandpa and remembered the experience and feelings of going to church. He was kind of scary but he was really nice. We shared with Phoebe how to pray while the other kids went biking in the yard. We invited Phobe to pray and Ann encouraged her but she was shy to say it so we offered one. They were willing to come to church but they would need a maxi taxi to take all 6 of them to church. Also visited Inge and shared Mormon Message 'Your Potential, Your Privileges' that in life, we can fully access our privileges when we do CPR (church, pray, read). She then gave us homemade cookies. Yum..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Jan 8, Sunday</i></b> - We fasted today for miracles. Church started at 1 pm so we visited some people in the morning in Waverly. We visited Bronwyn and shared more about enduring to the end. She said she knew Christ more than us and no need to read the scriptures. Anyways, after that, we received a call from the Elders that David showed up in church and wanted to learn more. Babi, Saha and her relatives, Mason and Brielle also came to church. Seven (7) investigators!..and Sharon showed up too. She had not been in church for 12 months with a note in her records "do not contact". During Sacrament Meeting, Sister Burden gave a talk about setting goals. We did not end up teaching all of them Gospel Principles. It was very hot in the chapel and the kids wanted to go home. We taught Brielle and Sharon with the Scotts about God's attributes, the first lesson in the Manual. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was so great to see miracles when we fast and pray, such as today. Seven investigators showed up in church. We were reading about Ammon and Aaron and how their companionship was a success.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We then shared a meal with the Bishop and his family. We also shared about Alma 37:46. Sometimes there are commandments that are easy but are important. We stressed the importance of CPR (church, pray read), even that may look easy, but save lives.Now that we know, we could save other people's lives by sharing and teaching. Afterwards, we drove to Hobart.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Dec 26, Monday</b> - We hiked again in the Gorge using another trail. Soon, we would become pro-tour guides here...hahaha.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We visited Teresa, Agok's mom, and we talked a bit about God's love. We understood she was very busy in the hospital and might not catch up with her again until next year. We also met Mem who had read Alma 18. We read it again with her and discussed some of her questions. Though she was still skeptical about the existence of God, we invited her to read Alma 22.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Dec 27, Tuesday</b> - Today, we worked with Maddie. We went to visit Barry, father of Mark. Mark was in the ward list. Barry informed us that Mark now lives in Grindewald which is 20 minutes drive. We shared to Barry about the Restoration and he said that it made sense to him to have living prophets.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We then visited some people in Legana, a suburb farther than Riverside, about 15 minutes away. We tracted and met</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Brian who was surprised to see us. For 8 years in Legana, we were the first missionaries who came. He had 3 published books about people who had visions or who were visited by angels. He had studied about mormonism before and refused our invitation to read the Book of Mormon. He believed in miracles and religion didn't matter as long as he believed in God. He was a cancer survivor and did photography.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also visited a less active family whose father had served a mission. We shared to them #LighttheWorld even though Christmas was past. The father shared his mission experiences. The family accepted our invitation to set a goal to improve their family prayers. Sad to see RMs going less active after their mission.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also visited Sarah, a miracle to have her today because she was always busy, every now and then, flew to Melbourne. She said she was born in the Church but left when she was 15. She didn't believe in God anymore but we shared a verse in Alma 26 where it says God is mindful of everyone. She was nice to us but not interested to learn again.</span></div>

BREAD meant B-background of the scripture, R-read the scripture, E-explain, A-apply or liken the scripture to the investigator or missionaries, D-define blessings/commitment. RUN because those who role-played with had 2 minutes to share or else I would run..hehe. Anyways, it was a great meeting and the elders shared gifts. We received BOLD sauce from Elder Payne, to become bold but loving missionaries. We also received a USB containing Mormon messages and church videos that we could view in our portable DVD player.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We visited Ann and shared with her the Plan of Salvation. She was receptive to our message and would love to meet us again. She had stopped drugs for 4 years now and desired to quit smoking, too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also visited John, Shirelle and Emily. John was really engaged in the church with his home teaching and the sacrament. Shirelle and daughter Emily were less active but after our message about Christ being the foundation, they said they would go to church this Sunday..yeay!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Dec 29, Thurs</b> - We tracted Hunter Street in Invermay and we met Michael. Michael was walking his dog and he's a less active JW..haha. He used to serve in Iraqi and he said that his experiences made him wonder if there's a God. He was nice to us, said that we were welcomed to visit him anytime because he was retired, and that he might visit church one day.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Dec 30, Friday</b> - We went to Grindelwald today. What a gorgeous place, it was like the Swiss Alps minus the snow. We were looking for Christine in the ward list. The lady who opened the door said that Christine moved to Cul de Sac near this street and that someone might know about her. We went to that place and found out only a 50ish million houses. We tracted and asked if they know Christine. After 3 houses, we couldn't possibly knock all houses in this very hot day. We said a prayer and picked a house to knock. Miracle, the guy who opened the door knew Christine. He said Christine lived 2 houses away. We invited him to listen to our message but said he was SDA and not interested so we thanked him. Beside this man's house was an empty lot so we knocked on the 2nd house after the empty lot. No one opened, so we left a note and walked back to the car. Then we thought of knocking on the house beside the empty lot and still use "Do you know Christine?" script to open the conversation. Turned out, the girl who opened said, "hang on, I'll call her". What a surprise! Finally, we met Christine but she said she was not interested to learn again. That day, we learned that God does answer prayers. We prayed specifically to find Christine, the 2nd house we thought was the right one wasn't after all, then we put more effort and knocked one more and we found her!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We tried to visit more members in this suburb as we will not be driving this far often, but they were not home. We talked to this guy painting a fence and asked him if he knows anyone who might be interested to listen or learn. He said to visit the 2 houses beside him. We knocked at this house and met David, a born-again Christian. When we introduced the Book of Mormon to him, he said, "Can I have one? I want to read it." We answered, "YES YOU CAN!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We visited Mem again today and she told us that we better give up on her. We felt like she recognized God and answers to her questions but did not want to act on it or change. She told us that we were still young, should explore the world and get out of our mormon bubble. We knew we were planting seeds..maybe she would be ready sometime, somewhere.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Celebrated our 1st year in the mission - I entered MTC-Provo one year ago today. Pork ribs..yeay..my first in the mission!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Dec 31, Sat</b> - Bread run today. We also visited and shared a lesson with Alice and Mason. Mason said he had an aunt in Nigeria who is LDS. He saw missionaries, never had a lesson with them, but wanted to learn about the doctrines. Alice and Mason were planning to get married in June because they wanted their baby to grow up in the church.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also visited Willard and Ruvinbo and found them eating tea (dinner) with their oldest child, Precious. Now, we've met all of them - Precious, Providence and Perseverance. Haha. Willard said he did his commitment and mowed the neighbor's lawn, from the 25 ways #Light..haha, he was really good. We found out that they knew the Tarawhally, their hairdresser as well. They just connected the dots that this was the church that Asanatu told them about. Wow, Asanatu was a good member missionary in her own way when she did hairdressing in her house.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Before going home today, we decided to visit one more house in the ward list, but turned out that they moved and so we met Trinh, a Vietnamese. She had no religious beliefs and we taught her how to pray and she prayed. That was really cool even just teaching someone to pray and was keen to do it. Trinh was doing her PhD in Aquaculture, did not go to any church or joined any because of language barrier. Her husband did not speak much English. If they would move to Footscray, there were Viet-speaking Elders there.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><b>NEW YEAR</b></i> was coming - saw some fireworks from our flat at 9:30 pm..at 12 midnight, too! My comp tried to wake me up, I stood and watched for 2 seconds, the I fell to my bed...haha..couldn't be bothered. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Jan 1, Sunday</i></b> - Alice and Mason came to church today. We had our first Gospel Principles class here in Tasmania - Sister Burden and me - and we shared the Restoration using the cups. Sister Bec was with us and she bore her testimony. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also talked to Brielle, 10y.o. if she would love to have us share some lessons and she said 'yes' and so we set appointment with the Scott family. </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We visited Evandale and had dinner with Bishop and the Clarks. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Dec. 19, Monday</i></b> - The Gorge. This pathway was closed after the flood 6 months ago, now it's opened. Then, we went to hike the Duck Reach Power Station, challenged ourselves to run/power walk and made it..hahaha..from 90 minutes to 60 minutes.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Today, we shared a meal with the Pawson family. They served us lamb cutlets, chicken tenders and salads..YUM. We then joined their family home evening in the music room where Brother Dawson played the piano. He read a Christmas story and we shared 1John 1:5-7. We then helped wrapped some boxes for the Bishop's Blessing Basket.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We then drove to meet Teresa; her daughter, Agok, opened the door. She told us that her mom was preparing to go to bed. We got to talk to Agok for a while and shared with her the Book of Mormon. She accepted the Book of Mormon and told us that she will read it when we go. She said that excitedly so we got excited, especially also that we got a return appointment for Friday this week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Dec 20, Tuesday</i></b> - After our District Meeting, we drove to Sister Jones. Sister Jones was turning 96 years old and she was busy baking raspberry pastry when we came. She rolled her own pastry, so much for a 96-year old woman. Lots of energy! We sang Silent Night with her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We also visited the Randalls and showed them the #LightTheWorld video. They gave us both presents - handmade lace bookmark and a Christmas cake.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We then shared a meal with the McPartlins and had family home evening. We also played games with the kids. Great family! Both parents taught the kids the gospel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We then visited the Scott family and also showed them the #LightTheWorld video. Awesome Christmas decors in the house. Brother and Sister Scott were diligent with home and visiting teaching. They told us about their granddaughter, Brielle, 10, who came to church and primary class but not baptized yet. Since Brielle's parents are not so active, we planned to help Brielle feel comfortable in church and primary classes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Dec. 21, Wed</i></b> - Today, we worked in Invermay, visited some formers and met Brett. Brett said that he was busy at the moment but would like to meet with us again. He was waiting for his meals. We thought of having Brett in our bread run list. Invermay is a humble area and so was most of our areas. Then we tracted Herbert St and asked if they know anyone who would be interested to have us. There were a few people who told us not to tract in the units of the houses we just went to because these were dangerous. Hmm...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was very hot today and we walked for almost 2 hours visiting people in streets nearby. I think this was the most walking I had done in Tasmania.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had dinner with Sister Barnes and she invited her friend, Amy, and her 2 kids. We shared to them the video; Amy and the kids liked it. They are meeting the JW but Amy said that she would also love to meet with us after the holidays. Sister Barnes also served a mission and was awesome by testifying to Amy about the gospel and a Christ-centered Christmas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We also visited the Tarawhally family where we met their friend, Josephine, non-LDS. We shared to Josephine the video which led us to sharing the Restoration. Josephine had heaps of questions but said she only believed in the Bible and no other book. She would always ask "Is it in the Bible?" to everything we said. She was not ready yet. We loved visiting the Tarawhally family because they always have visitors or friend every time we come. They had strong connection in the African community. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Dec 22, Thurs</i></b> - We used a new planner for our weekly planning. Couldn't believe that it was the last week of transfer!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We went to the home of a former investigator but found out that they moved. We found Paul and shared a discussion with Paul and Jackie about the enabling power of the atonement. Paul was a former SDA minister but was not doing it anymore. He loved to talk to us but he expressed that he would not be convinced with anything we say. We then knocked 2 doors before going back to the car. We met Stacey, a mom of 2 kids. She was very lovely and said that she would love to have us over after the holidays. A few of the former investigators we visited were not ready still, maybe in a few months.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We visited Rosslyn in the age care. We shared to her about the importance of prayer in Alma 37:37. Most members here were older people; the younger ones either moved or became less active. (But it's fun to teach older people; we just needed to find younger families.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We went to the park for a picnic dinner with the church members. We met Melissa, the former Sister Hadfield. She served in this area for 6 months and opened Tasmania for sister missionaries 3 years ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We also met the Tripptree family, the family of Sister Tripptree who was with our mission while waiting for her visa, and now serving at Temple Square. The family was so lovely and gave us heaps of lemon. Just perfect for us since we had runny nose for the past days.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Dec 23, Friday</i></b> - After DLC, we cooked pizza for lunch..I mean, heated a frozen pizza..hehe..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We visited Edda and shared a Christmas message with her. She was still set that she could be both Catholic and Mormon. Today was very hot - 30 deg. C. I saw a sprinkler and we ran into it..and our clothes would dry again in minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We visited a former investigator who lived in 8 Walcorm St. according to the records and her name was Mem. We knocked at 8 Walcorm and no one was there so we left a note. We tracted the whole Walcorm St and met Olive, an older lady who was not really interested but would like to have us back to chat. We continued tracting the 16 units of 11 Walcorm St. The families we knocked into were not really interested and told us that all the people were Christians already. But we still continued knocking. When we knocked at 8/11 Walcorm St., a lady opened and asked, "Are you from that funny church?" We told her that we were from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She invited us in and told us her name was Mem. The previous missionaries might have written the address wrong and did not realize that 8 was part of 11 Malcorm. Mem offered us lime drink which we badly needed because it was really hot. She said that her first missionary contact was with the Elders 10 years ago. She didn't believe in God but she pondered when we asked her about her purpose in life. She accepted to read Alma 18 and we got a return appointment to meet her again tomorrow. Miracle!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We then shared a meal with Sister Roser, like a Christmas dinner. She gave us presents and bonbons. She had a good sense of humor and strong faith and testimony of the gospel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Dec 24, Sat </i></b>- We did a special bread run today because Brother Pawson gave us bread last night. We also met with Babi who was a former investigator from Bhutan. She was really nice and we shared with her the #LightTheWorld video. After watching the video on the Ipad, the kids continued to watch other church videos in the Mormon Channel.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bishop called us if we could help him visit a few families and we were excited. We met the Thomas family who we tried to visit yesterday but no one was home. Today, Sister Thomas got a day off. We shared the #LightTheWorld video.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We also visited Sister Birelle and we read Luke 2 with her. She was 90 but still determined; and gave us presents as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Christmas Eve</b>. The Huntsman visited us, looked small in the camera but really huge, as big as my hand stretched. Never had I seen much unity and teamwork, planning and action between me and my companion to get rid of the Huntsman. Christmas blessed our companionship with unity..hahaha..</div>
