Week 5 

Hello Family :D

This week was AWESOME. We have 3 investigators set for a baptism date!!!! so I've been studying (or reading not sure which :P) the Book of Mormon and I FINISHED it again this morning. guess its time to start again haha. but I didn't realise how much cool stuff is at the end of the Book of Mormon like in 3 Nephi and Mormon and Ether. Like about how there's other records that we can't see yet and there's a whole chapter telling people if they believe the bible they'll believe the Book of Mormon (its in Mormon I think chapter 7). that's the frustrating thing here. people are like "I already go to church/I already believe in Jesus; so I'm ok we all going to be saved, you need to tell the ones that don't believe"   I gave 2 blessings this week. both to investigators. They always seem to get me to do the sealing and Elder Joseph to do the anointing even tho he's been out longer... hmmm... favourite members oooh Bishop is cool and his wife makes a really nice chocolate cake. and Sis P is like a grandma she always feeds us and she gives us food and toilet paper to take home (and its like 3 ply stuff too :DDD) She is really charitable its amazing how insistent she is on serving and giving to others (not just us missionaries, she gives stuff and dinner to the members too) the Ward Mission leader is still getting to know us but I think he's going to be good. 

Well it was wet and I fell off... on the road... sorta like forward sideway superman off the bike landed on my hands and chest so hands grazed, right knee grazed, badge scratched, face + teeth fine... raincoat hole in it... fixed with sticky tape.. wasn't wearing a jumper, pants worn on knee but no hole so they're fine. umm dad's suit still fits... I haven't worn the nice one bc there is so much mud and I don't want the full wool to get dirty dirty bc I don't know if that will be easy to clean.. and I don't know of a dry cleaner, and they say its really expensive here to dry clean. not sure if my white pants still fit tho... they were snug when I left. and I was dry when I weighed myself I'll do it again soon and see if I'm still 63kg - hopefully not haha. 

well you guys are doing well with missionary work over there aren't you! 

I wouldn't go all the way out there for institute not sure why he does.... get him to send some pics of his painting too.

So now its my turn to ask you some questions 

Can you send a damper recipe - I figure it will be cheap. and Sis P keeps giving us honey so we have like 5 unopened bottles and damper tastes good with honey hahaha. also any other recipes that will be quick and easy for me to make (for when we aren't getting fed) :) thanks

thanks for the photos :D. but can you guys send a picture of YOU. the other missionaries are like "so whats you family like show us a picture" but I don't have any..... also the one with the croc and great Grand-Dad?? (how many greats is it...)

That's all for this week 

Love you, Miss you,
