Long week!
Didn't get to email until Tuesday this week, because Monday was a public holiday so they wanted us to spend the whole day proselyting. Technically, it was the Queen's birthday, but it wasn't actually the Queen's birthday. What I mean is, the day the Queen was born is earlier in the year, but the "powers that be" or the "establishment" or whatever decided that there were too many public holidays during that time of year, so they moved it to October. Aussies, man. Or woman, depending on who's reading this. If you're a robot, an object, or an alien, I'm sorry. Okay, bad jokes aside, it was a great week.
Just some short highlights, we set another baptismal date with our investigator Greg. He's a former investigator but he had a controlling girlfriend who scared the previous missionaries away but she's out of the picture now, fortunately. Now we just need to help him quit smoking. Haven't had to help an investigator with addiction recovery yet, so it'll be interesting! I'm just glad I don't get as nervous about doing new things as much, mostly because I know the Spirit will guide and Heavenly Father will give us what we need!
Besides that, we had another trade off with Innisfail, the other area in our district. Me and Elder Rossi went to Innisfail for the day with Elder Vea. It was pretty good, we went to this small town with a big sugar mill and spent most of the day there.
Sunday was great, one of the part member families that we're teaching came, and even stayed for Sunday School. The dad is less active but the mom and son aren't baptized, but they're both really keen on learning more about the church! Luckily the dad is really determined to start coming back to church too, so that helps. So yeah, hope you're all doing well. I'm excited for general conference this weekend. (we watch the broadcasts a week after because of the time difference). Never really been excited for general conference before, in the strictest sense of the word, but I'm almost hoping one of these days they'll announce all the saints need to gather to Missouri or something. Ofa atu!
