70 WEEKS!!

so happy new year we had a really good week this week we found 3 new investigator 2 of which is very solid and we are planning to set a date next week with them and the third is a part member family a 9 year old boy who we set a date with for th 19th of jan so thats pretty exciting i love woking with less actives and part members its always great to help them come back and its the best way to find more people to teach cause they now heaps of non members so we are really excited about all of that. thats about it for me this week though. so no new babies yet? hope everyone has a happy new years its gonna be a great year i member when i came on my mission 2013 seemed so far away i wan't sure if it would actually come but its almost here and its came quickly. Thanks for everything love Elder Dalton.

69th week in Australia! Merry Christmas!!

so i just talked to all of yous pretty much so you all now how i'm doing i hope all is well and everyone had a merry christmas mine was really good we got to do service on christmas eve and i was talking with the missionary i was with and we were thinking thats one of the best ways to spend christmas eve i reckon is doing service helping someone with something that they can't do themselves it was a simple thing but it was good fun and thats what the savior did always served other no matter the day help those in need and i love the christmas season for how much more friendly people are and they seem just a bit more caring then normal its good stuff. thanks for all that yous all do have a happy new year wish you all the best. Love Elder Dalton

7 months, 2 weeks , and 3 days left. 68th week!!

so this was a great week we had a fhe last night with a lot of members and less actives and investigators it was on the spirit of Christ in Christmas and how to remember him and we played some games and had some food it was very successful and the investigators said they loved it it was awesome. we also had a really good week on Tuesday we had a crazy day where it rained for over 30 hours strait we thought it was gonna flood then it cleared out on Thursday then on Friday after our sports night we had a flat tyre but it was almost a record change i reckon it was only 5 to 10 min it took us to change it next time i'm gonna set a stop watch it'll be good fun. and we found a new investigator this wee through a part member family and they seem heaps keen we have a appointment this week with them i'm very excited for them they already seem like a active family should be good keep them in your prayers please. whats new in the US? i heard yous got a little bit of snow. does it feel like Christmas so as for calls are any of you gonna be together on Christmas day should i call and talk on speaker for a bit then call Dan an Jesse or just call everyone separate for 10 min a piece? up to yous just let me know cause p day is next Wednesday for me. so this is my last email before Christmas. Well hope all is well have a great week love yous
