Dear Mom and Dad,
Well it's been another good fast week. Can't believe it's P-day again! We might train into the city today and look around. It might rain though so we'll see. Things are going really well. We have 7 investigators with baptism dates so that keeps us busy. The one for this weekend is going to be tricky. Her name is Debby and she just moved from New Zealand. She is 17 and is living with her sister and her sisters partner. She had gone to church before in NZ and wanted to get baptised but her dad is hardcore into this Samoan church and would not allow it. Since she was living here, her sister was her legal guardian and was going to sign for her baptism but her dad just moved here yesterday so we'll see what happens. We have to call her today. She is really awesome and knows the church is true without a doubt. We just have to hope that her fathers heart is softened so that he won't stop her from following her desires to go to heaven. I am amazed at how some parents will support their children if they get into criminal trouble but won't support them in their desires to follow Christ or things they feel are for their good. Hopefully everything works out! I still have hope!

Sounds like everything at home is going well though. Getting warmed
up and flowers sprouting. I love all the seasons! There is something I
absolutely love about all 4 of them. Speaking of which I have now been
in Bankstown for all 4 seasons! I got about half of winter, all of
spring, all of summer, and now we're just getting into autumn! This
transfer is up in about 2 weeks though so I don't know what will happen.
I would just send the package to the mission office again. That's the
easiest way to do it.

I'm really glad to hear that you are still reading scriptures
everyday! Keep it up! I LOVE the scriptures! My P. blessing predicted
that and it is right! The scriptures are the thing that bring me the
most truth out of anything I could ever study. I have also been reading
my patriarchal blessing a lot and really thinking about it and I have
had thoughts lately about maybe one day becoming a seminary teacher....
it just feels right and matches everything that is said in my
blessing... I'll put more thought into it later but that's just a very
deep impression that randomly hit me this week. What do you think?
I hope you are able to get that flag pole! How tall is it? Could we
put up a Layton Hills Mall flag? That would be awesome hahah but
probably improbable. As for our shopping, we usually do all our
shopping on P-day but if we really need something from the store we can
use our hour of lunch time to do that. There's nothing that says we
can't. :)
Anyway, I've got my list of things to do written down and I'll get
on it. I didn't take pictures of my clothes yet but I have looked at
them! The taxes are on my desk, brought them in this morning and just
need to sign them so everything is set to go!
Hope you have a great week and that the weather gets warmer! I
believe this week is St. Patricks day so don't forget to wear green!
