First Pday in Australia!

Hey Family,
First off i'm in Australia its goin on a week. the week has been good but filled with alot of learning which is fun actually. so on thursday i went and got my bike and my drivers lisence and then went to the office met my trainer and had lunch and an orientation meeting my trainer is great he is from california his name is elder weber and he is awesome extremely smart and knows how to talk to people its crazy how easy it is for him to get to know someone then just start teaching when i try to talk to someone it sounds like i have a stutter and can't get anything out ha but its alot of fun to keep tryin i think i've improved a little since the first day at least i hope. so its just him and myself in the flat(apartment) its a pretty small little flat but bigger then the hagerman one ha so on friday we had a few appointments set but they all fell through in the moring but then we had sport night and brought jake an investigator with us to play volleyball and basketball. on and on friday morning we played touch which is touch rugby and it was great i love it there was like twenty missionaries cause they all came down for the transfer and stuff any ways back to friday we played sport and then we came home and slept i really enjoy my sleep lately my body doesn't feel tired but my spirit gets wore out or somethin so on saturday we had a few appointments we taught like 3 lessons it was good the people here are really nice they just don't think they need the gospel in there life but oh man are they wrong ha so saturday was good i enjoyed and we've tracted almost everyday cause we are on bikes we have no car so we ride everywhere and we talk to everyone we pass so i'm tryin to work on that and we went door to door one evening and well the people weren't exactly welcoming but it was good. oh and by the way today is pday its monday here almost 12 but its late sunday night for you guys. so we are 13 hours a head of you so i'm in your future i'm like a time traveler anyways back to topic saturday was good we had like 6 people who said they would come to church. so saturday i don't even remember fallin asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow i was out it was the best sleep ever its weird tho i keep havin dreams about missionary stuff kinda strange so sunday was good we went around and visited to people before church and then walked to church with denise who is a older lady that is investigator and so church is pretty small definitely not island park i think there was probably about 60 people at church but it is a ward and they are great people real nice and they all wanna help out with the missionary work which is awesome so we had three people come to church that are our investigators and on is a family they seem pretty keen so hopefully they'll want to be baptized here shortly but they aren't married and they have four kids and guess what lesson was taught in relief society thats right the law of chastity so hopefully all is well with that i hope so we are goin to teach her on thursday i think so we'll find out so we taught the lesson in sunday school and priesthood so that was fun after church we went and met with patience a investigator i think or she might be a less active talked about paryer it was great she is african and has two twin two year old boys who are crazy it was fun. then we had a dinner appoinment she made veggie soup and it wasn't that bad actually but they are a great couple they are older but supper nice it was great to meet them then we tried to stop by a few peoples houses but they were all dark and it was like 830 so we came home but it was great so today is pday and we are atthe library then shoppin and playin touch this afternoon then we have a fhe appoinment and a few others so it'll be good i'm loviin here so good news my address will be the same address for the whole two years so that'll be nice for you guys only need to know one address for the whole time and you can send packages and letters to it and the address is the one i sent you last week so hopefully you still have it if not i'll send it to you another time only bad part about that is i only get mail once a week so ya but thats cool that way i can stay focused and then have one really good mail day ha
