Week 7

Hi everyone :D

yeah its getting colder now, I still just wear a shirt in the day tho :P hahaha 

Miracle - the District leader (who is part of the other set in our ward) got a car!!! so now we get driven to church and P-day... but thats about it HAHAHA and its a CVT so Elder Wangsgard (the District Leader) got freaked out by it bc it sounded funny to him (Dad will know what I mean). This week I started the Book of Mormon again, but I found a study manual so I've been using that too. I want to know what Zenos and Neum and Zenock wrote but I guess that will have to wait until their records are brought back.  

Wed we met a old lady trying to pull back her wheelie bin bc it didn't get taken that week (the garden waste one) and we helped her out and told her who we were bc she asked and she said something like "You do them very proud, you represent Him the best I've seen, I'm not religious but if anyone asks - I know bc I've been around for 90 years - your families will be proud of you."

transfers - yeah so thats a photo of my district before transfers and our zone (well those of us who made it into the photo in time hahaha)

still with Elder Joseph. we knew we weren't getting transfered, I'm still in training - 12 weeks I'm only half way through.

I got Helen's card - tell her thankyou (even though I needed a Urim and Thummim to read it :P hahaha)

WHAT MORE INFORMATION DO YOU WANT?!? you do know this is South Auckland - not the Philippines - its not as exciting; I don't have big stories to tell each week like Taylor did, instead of wandering through the jungle to visit someone, I ride down the street.... our service projects are mowing people's lawns not building someone house. Oh and speaking of South Auckland, apparently it's pretty much like Mt Druitt from what I've heard speaking to people on the street "you go out at dark?!? you guys are crazy!!" and when the police say "idk how you guys ride around when its dark on your bikes and not get mugged" you sorta guess its not such a nice area. but me and my companion both thought the same thing when the police officer said that "God looks after his missionaries" and we've had no trouble so its all good.

(Terri here: More story to come with this!!!)

oh yeah, how do you do that banana and mars bar thing?? one of the members has a fire place and I told them about it and they want to know how you do it.

Dad had icecream... I don't believe it HAHA. and snow too?? yeah it'll be cold here this week by the looks of things. 

EVERYONE HERE asks where I got my raincoat.... the 2 things everyone likes - my raincoat and bike seat HAHA.  it's as though you can't get a raincoat here you just get those wind jackets which are only part waterproof. it's ok I stitched it up this week and thats holding pretty well bc the tape kept undoing. it still works so no worries for now.

Hope you guys are doing well and doing what you're supposed to (reading scriptures and praying - I know you are, but just saying)

See you next week  (well hear from you hahaha)

love you - Elder Reilly Cox
