week 4

so its the end of week 4 in australia and this week has been about the same as the rest some bad and some good. its been raining all week and we are on bikes so it gets a little wet ha but its fun and its suppose to keep raining until wednesday so more fun ahead of us still and the rain can really come down here it'll just be slowly dropping then out of nowhere its like they turned on the faucet. but its good it makes things more fun. so anyways last monday we went to dinner with levi who was a less active but is pretty active now and he took us to this seafood place he works at and i ate clams muscles peppered squid two types of fish ha it was a crazy experience and they weren't to bad except the clams they were rank to fishy for me i almost couldn't swallow them then on thursday we went over for lunch and to teach and i tried so octopus that is some nasty stuff but he eats it like candy there is no fat on that stuff though its like rubber but anyways thats the exciting stuff for food this week. as for a the actual missionary work we have 8 new investigators this week which is good and they all seem very keen so keep them in your prayers please and we are talkin to denise again thats the lady that dropped us a couple weeks back. and sis smith the less active lady says she really wants to know if this is the true church and how god answers her prayers not sure why the missonaries who baptized her didn't teach her this but it sounds like she has been waiting for a sign from god as an answer and so we started talkin about feeling and she was like really? thats how you know? and we were like yes didn't they tell you all of this when you were baptized but its all good we got her attention now and her son is really keen on it too and said he would be baptized but we haven't set a date yet so hoopefully all keeps goin well keep them in your prayers to please there great people she is super fun to be around. on saturday it was a great day we taught 7 lessons and everyone was keen and we got return appointments to all of them so thats good the one that really stuck out was on saturday we had the thought to go and visit one of the members in the ward but when we got there a different guy answered the door and he said come in elders i've been expecting you and he told us the story of how he's been inactive for quite some time and then just recently stuff started to fall into place so that day he said to himself if the elders come around i'll go to church so we were able to talk to him and teach a little bit and bore testimony of how our heavenly father watches out for us and is aware of us so it was really good and he came to church yesterday. and he has been havin headaches alot lately and its startin to worry him so he is gonna go get it checked out but he wanted a blessing and he asked me to do it and i was extremely nervous and i didn't say alot just cause blessings make me nervous cause i don't want to say somethin that isn't gods will so i try to really listen to the spirit so it was a pretty rough blessing but the spirit was extremely strong and he said it was exaclty what he needed and i know it was what i needed to have that experience. but it was a great experience. but the other days were good too we taught alot of people but saturday was just a really good day yesterday or sunday we had a fhe with the farrels they are the family we seen two weeks ago i think it was and we talked about prayer church and reading yesterday and played a game with them it was great they are a really fun family i like them and the mom especially wants to do better with everything she just struggles a little as everyone does. but i think thats about it for now gotta go do some shopping and play some touch as long as it doesn't start rainin to hard. love you guys so much your always in my prayers i hope all is well keep me updated on everything please. love elder dalton LIVESTRONG
