Week 9

Hey Everyone,

So the week I get only 1 other email you give me a short one HAHAHA.

This week was ok... it felt pretty long actually. I got sick at the end so those Eucalyptus lollies came in handy :) I got the parcel on Wednesday along with a letter from Alice and Rina (did I tell you i got one from Ismam a while ago too??)

I've been studying the stuff you sent - the plan of Salvation. the talks. AND CHILDREN KNOW. we went to a house and the dad opened the door and went "you preachers? good on you. preach somewhere else we aren't interested" and closed the door. so we walk back to our bikes and as we're doing that the kids (3 of them around 4-6 yo I think) open the door and smile and say "Byyyeeeee" and I said to my companion "why can't everyone just be like the kids and know who we are". and yup still the Pied Piper :P

(When Reilly was young we nick-named him The Pied Piper, because all the younger kids would follow him around or want to be near him....obviously he still has that ability!)

We're going to get new investigators this week bc I think the ones we have just enjoy us going around - they aren't progressing and they aren't getting anywhere and they don't understand that coming to church is important even after we teach them about the sabbath day and ask them "so why do you think its important to come to church?" and they give us an answer so obviously the answer didn't sink in. and one thinks that we just believe and we are saved by grace bc when we say that "it is by grace we are saved after all we can do" he just disagrees and thinks faith is enough.

Elder Joseph likes the musk sticks he says they have something like it back in South Africa. Elder Wangsgard won't try them - he keeps saying later hahaha. Oh and I gave Elder Joseph some Vegemite for a mouth ulcer HAHAHA it was so funny "IT STINGS!!!" HAHAHA but it works so :P 

(From last week's story!!)

At the chemist I sorta just stood there a bit shocked and looked around slowly when I heard my name hahaha

Tell Fred and Lynda I say Hello and if they've got any stories to tell me (I like Fred's stories hahaha)

You're taking French classes? (have some of my broken half if not almost entirely forgotten french haha ;P) Vraiment?! C'est combien? mecredi nuit eh? Ca Alor. je ne jamias pense que tu va en classe (don't know if that is correct or even what i'm trying to say haha) C'est tout, Abientot ;)

oh yeah you said to ask how to use the apostasy/ restoration stuff?? yep hahaha when we were at District meeting Elder Wark was like "Who loves you?" when he handed me the package. and I didn't realise how expensive (cher if you're french) posting that was. But THANK YOU MUM :D

See you next week (email you same dif)

LOVE YOU 

Elder Cox :)
