Good Day, Mate!

Wow another week down under has flown by! Thank you Aly Brignone for the letter I just loved it!

Building the Kingdom:
Brendan Burke- He is getting baptised this weekend but there is still so much that we need to do it is not even funny! It is stressing the daylights out of me! But I trust the Lord will see me through! He didn’t make it to church this week which was killer and his fellowship (his girlfriend) is in Thailand so hopefully he will stay focused!

Felicity O’Brien- We had to move her date back a week but she is still wants to be baptised! But she is kind of living with this guy (This guy is named Ben and is an illegal immigrant from Tonga who is a member who referred her) she didn’t come to church and she is picking up smoking again which is not good!

So this next week will be intense it was not the best week but we will live and work hard!

My Week:
So remember that drunk who wanted to beat up Elder Vernon? Well, we ran into him this past week again and yes, he was drunk but he liked Elder Chan more than Elder Vernon!

We had a neat experience where me and Elder Bybee (we were on exchanges) were walking down the street and we heard a lady yell for us from her car. It ended up being a less active who was just sitting thinking in her car that she could really use a priesthood blessing and then two missionaries happened to be walking down the street. So we set something up where we could come by and give her a blessing. It was way good! It was my first experience where I know that the lord put me at the right place at the right time!

I love the Gospel! I just wanted to say that! This past week has been a battle! Emotionally and spiritually! I am not going to lie; I don’t know what to do half the time! I have only been out four months and now I need to help another missionary become a missionary. It is the most scary and hard thing I have ever done! I am stressed all the time and I am having a hard time being me! But I am finding the Lord is always there he is holding me up all the time! And I know that this is His work! That through Him I can rescue people and bring them to a knowledge of where they came from, that they have divine parentage, what the purpose of this life is and what they can become! It is such a humbling calling but I love it! I have cried so much! Haha I am such a baby, but the Lord has heard my pleading and he has answered my prayers in so many ways! I love being a missionary even though it is so hard and stressful and tiring and what not but it is so rewarding1 I know this is Jesus Christ's work! Because if it wasn’t I would have messed it up a long time ago! Thank you for your love and support I couldn’t do it with out you!
