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.

so this week we spent alot of focus on meeting with the members and encouraging them to do missionary and serving them and we spent the rest of our time finding pretty much it was a good week and we were able to see how the ward is doing missionary work and we are excited to see if anything will come of it one of the members text us today and told us that she gave a friend a pamplet and asked her to take the lessons and her friend said she would read it and get back to her about the lessons so that was a great success for that member and we are excited for her. and this week tracting we met a family who attends the salvatioin army church and they welcomed us back to share more with them so we are looking forward to seeing them it has been a great week and i look forward to this week. i hope all is well with everyone. have a great week and remember there is a god in heaven who loves everyone so share the good news love you all Elder Dalton
