Elder Dalton

Last transfer.

gday so this week is tranfers its on wednesday but we don't find out what is happening til tomorrow so i'll let yous know but this was a great week i cause the weeks before payed off we found 4 new investigators and got to teach alot this week it was a much needed week. fathers day was just another day especially cause fathers day in aussie is in september so noone else celebrates it. the best part of this week was the first two days of the week and saturday on monday and tuesday we found 3 investigators and got to teach alot and on saturday we got to do service dig trenches around a house for drain water it was a good week. hope all is well love you all take care

One month and Three weeks!

It feels like i just wrote since pday was on wednesday but it was a good week rough for teaching though but we found a new investigator this morning which was a good change up in things for the week and we had a musical fireside last night which went really good we had a few investigators and less actives at it between all the missionaries so it was a success other then that we have just been doing the normal stuff tracting and following up on people and going through the ward list. this week is the last week of the transfer but hopefully i stay here i sick of getting moved around so often but whatever happens will be good. hope all is well we've also been visiting members and helping build up the ward and encouraging them to do missionary work it has been good i really enjoy helping members and less actives its been good and we got to help two people move this week i love service its the best. hope all is well know that i love yous and pray for all of you have a great week. Love Elder Dalton

57 Days left!

hello again so this was a good week i got to go to perth for the sealing of tk and ellen it was really cool to see them be sealed and chat with them for a bit afterwards and we got to see a few others from kalgoorlie it was cool to see everyone again and to see them take this step in there life. other then that it was a normal week it was a public holiday on monday so we had a normal day but we got to do service and help a couple redo there back yard it was great i love doing service cause people are so much more willing to accept help and alot of times it softens there heart to learn its great i love it. the sealing was the highlight of my week they were so happy it was good. hope everyone elses week was great as well. this is my comp now and this is bunbury again hope everyone has a great week love you all.

Ellen and TK's sealing

Two months and five days left!

This was a good week but a bit of a rough one most of our investigators dropped us and all our appointments fell through but we did alot of tracting and found a few people that we are hopeful for. It was a good week and we are starting to work with the members more and plan some firesides and cottage evenings. its finally winter here i reckon it stays pretty chilly most nights and the days are shirt sleeve weather its nice not sweating like crazy all the time and it rains pretty often which is good how is the summer back home? hope all is well love you all thanks for all that you do.

73 days left.. And counting :)

how was everyone's week? my week was good we've been in a 3 way for 10 days and that ends this week so i'm excited that that is over with it was good but 3 ways are weird to do missionary work as for anything new we had one of our investigators and a few less actives come to church this week so that was really good and besides that i get to go to tk and ellens sealing this week that is really cool i'm excited for that. thats about it for me this week love you all hope all is well take care love Elder Dalton

This was a good week i'm in a new area again i'm back doen in Bunbury where i was at christmas but just in a different area its nice here i like it and i'm with Elder Rigby he is from boise so thats cool and i'm junior companion he is the District leader it is nice to just be able to focus on just our area and us and not have to worry about others much. its a good area i enjoy it. Thanks for the chat today it was good to hear from everyone and talk. Hope all is well i love you all. Have a great week. Elder Dalton

87 Days left.. G day

so this was a good week first off to answer some questions i'm like right in the city across the street from some shops its a good area i love the country here though its pretty as and as for the most exciting thing for me this week would of been church i've been really learing alot at church lately its been great stuff i've been asking and pondering about for years is starting to click its been great this week was heaps better as for how i'm doing as you may or may not of known i have been struggling like crazy and just depressed trying to figure stuff out but this week i just said stuff it and decide to be happy so its wasn't that easy but it worked out and things have been better stuff has started to click and i still struggle and get down but i'm doing better so i've been pretty happy about that this week and as for the golden contact i suppose we were just meant to help her out she decided she was more interested in the catholic church it was random but i suppose all in gods timing it'll work. I'm not to sure how calls we'll be i'll call on either your saturday or sunday at around 7pm your time i think hopefully that works out. love you all thanks heaps

88 Weeks In Perth Australia

so this was a good week we found 3 new investigators i guess and the work is starting to pay off a little gods timing is funny you never know when you'll find people or who is willing to listen its tough cause you can't predict god there is no black and white to what will happen it just happens when he wants it to but as for the rest of our week we got to do service and we did a lot of following up on people so it was good. the lady we met this week started crying on the front porch when we taught her a little bit and she said we must of been sent to her for a reason so it was a really cool experience i suppose that's why we spend so much time doing stuff that seems unproductive at times is so the lord can bless his children when they are ready. we spend only a hour or so a day actually tracting but we spend alot of time following up on people and clearing up the ward list and just talking to people on the street. can't really think of anything else but this area is good we have hardly any active members in our area so its slow that way and the ward is a little stand offish do to dodge missionaries in the past but they are a great ward i enjoy it. and i'm losing some fat since its an all biking area so thats good. could someone do me a favour and look up auctioneer school in idaho or surrounding areas and let me know when they are and how long they last so i can kinda think about my future a bit. cause i have really no idea what i 'm gonna do when i get home thanks but hope all is well i love you all and i thankful for all that you do. love yous heaps ps to answer questions on how i'm doing and what not i'm doing fine its been tough but thats life so no worries all is well. hope everyone back home is also well. and stake conference in neb. sounds like it was great thats really cool.

Hello everyone so this week was a good week nothing to different but we did have a zone conference yesterday and that was a great experience i wish it would of happened a year ago but all things happen for a reason i learned a few things i have been wondering about for quite a while and it was good to help think about how to do better and to be a more effective missionary. it was a great experience i wish i could explain everything better but it was great and at the end of the conference he told us if we would go out right away and find we would find a person each that we could teach and we happened to get 3 referrals that evening that we contacted that are all keen to come to church and in the zone we found 15 new people to teach it was a great uplifting experience. and i put a bit of what i wrote to my president hear about it. thanks for everything love Elder Dalton
