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

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.

So we had a good week i'm loving serving with me Mtc Companion we have heaps of fun doing the work which i love and we are seeing a little success come in our area but our zone is having great success and they say the leaders influence the zone haha i hope that's true but things are good here no real stories this week we tracted and contacted and taught a few lessons one of our investigators was drunk so that was fun it was actually good cause he told us what his concerns were so we have had a good week all is well here. i got photos of the twins they are looking good and i heard the blessings were great i look forward to meeting all the add ons to the family i hope everyone is great and enjoying spring time. i got my call today that they asked me where i wanted to fly home to and i said twin falls is that OK with everyone? if its not please let me know and i can change it. the transfers end on Sunday so i may get transferred this week but i wouldn't mind staying the same for a bit. Love you all have a great week the church is true i hope you all know that i know that i may not share my testimony much but i do know the church is true but G'day and G'night Elder Dalton

5 months left. 79th week in Australia

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
