Week 8!

And it came to pass in the commecment of the 9th week of the journey of my mission.......ha just kiddin so week 8 is over and it was about like any other so as for kbug the dirt is very sandy and very red and i hear up north its extremely red and the toilets don't flush backwards cause they just like throw water everywhere ha its hetic so sorry about that i was pretty sad when they didn't but maybe someone will have a toilet like the ones back home and i'll be able to see if they flush backwards ha as for lissy the halloween customs i'm not a 100 percent sure about i beleive they celebrate it kind of like they do trunk or treat i believe but not everyone celebrates it i don't think i'm not sure when i get an auzzie companion i'll ask him all these questions and tell dad and wayde hi and glad to hear byu won just so you guys know the all blacks(new Zealand) beat the Wallibies(Australia) yesterday in the world cup and so it is the all blacks against france in the finals this weekend hopefully the all blacks win they've only won it once and they are usually the best time every year but they choke so anyways back to the good stuff this week was pretty normal nothin new taught alot and learned alot like always i almost feel like a missionary i just about feel comfortable teachin people if that makes sense cause i've always felt comfortable but i'm startin to learn alot and remember alot so i feel more confident in teaching that the spirit will be able to draw from stuff i've learned to help our investigators. so one story is we met tariq this week he is from pakistan and he is funny as he's a little weird and likes his smokes and weed and drinkin so thats a slight setback but he wants to quit but anyways he has no christian background at all but he loves to learn and we have talked alot about our heavenly father we are just tryin to help him get a desire to find out if this is all true but we took him to the cottage evening last night and he said he felt like everyone could just relate to him it was pretty good he can be a little hard to follow sometimes though his thought process is out of control sometimes. he seems pretty kean though so thats cool.i'm glad you guys are enjoyin the football i miss that a little bit but i have the rest of my life to watch football so no worries. hmm so as for any more stories i don't think i have anything to exciting i'm tryin to memorize a scripture a day and its goin well so far presdent monson said that if you memorize a scripture a day your whole mission he promised that when you returned you would have a photographic memory but i'm not bein greedy i'd be ok with like a half photographic memory ha so thats the goal is a scripture a day its a little tough but its fun and in conference the first talk given saturday morning was on the power of scripture and of memorizing the scriptures and all over in the scriptures it talks about feasting on the words of christ is what brings a change of heart or what allows the spirit to come upon us in more abundance elder weber and i have talked alot about it and we think thats the key to alot is prayerful study bein directed by the spirit and listenin to what it is tellin you of course thats true for the mission but we think it's extremely important even after the mission cause he is gettin nervous about goin home and losin the spirit so prayful study is where its at. its helped me heaps its crazy i love study now but anyways the church is true guys love ya and serve whenever and wherever you can your the greatest family ever love you guys so much LIVESTRONG Love Elder Jared Dalton
