Week 26

HELLO EVERYONE :D

long as email this week...... and everyone emailed too hahaha (it's always like that)

I don't get it either ... this is the first summer that I turn the heater on in the morning.... and the people here were complaining it was hot last week and then they'd look at me and laugh.

The new area is nice still strange weather. I forgot to tell you which ward I was in I realised halfway through the week. Claudelands ward. Elder Morely has been out one transfer before me. We're having a blast. D is really as shy as they say bc I still haven't been able to properly meet him. yesterday was stake conference for this stake. met pretty much everyone though. 

So yep I met sis Vuataki..... steal my news to share...... and you wonder why I don't have long emails - you already know everything i'm going to email :P. Yeah so we were talking and she mentioned how she served in Sydney I said I was from Syd and she asked where. Parramatta I said. "oh that's in the south mission I was in the north" so you'd know my mum then "you're mum?... Oh Sis cox is your mum! of course... oh so I know your parents. yep Bro Cox made me report a scratch on my car that I didn't even do - I got the car like that" hahaha

Sis P said that there seemed like there was just too much to do to get back and it seemed impossible to make it so why bother trying so i said "Just take one step at a time. do one thing and then once that's easy, try to do something else too. you don't have to do everything all at once; you don't have to be perfect as soon as you come back"

So in short.... don't drive with a trailer......

Gisborne is where you get all the nice photos. (In last week's email.....somewhere...I think I edited it!!...Anyway, Reilly told us that there were no spoons in his flat and he was eating his breakfast cereal with chopsticks...which were in the flat!!  So this is his answer to was it fruit loops you were eating with chopsticks??!!) no it wasn't fruit loops it was milo cereal.

About my week;

Scriptures:

1 Nephi 17:6 Here. trials are nothing compared to the joy at the end

2 Nephi 2:2 Here. trials = gain

2 Nephi 33:3 Here. I know he will hear my cry

2 Nephi 33:10-11 Here. if you believe in Christ you will believe these words

D&C 60:13 Here. I've had to play piano here alot (you guys were right... there aren't other missionaries who know how to play...) (We told him before he left that he should keep practising the hymns we sing at church because he might have to play the piano while on his mission..... he thought that he wouldn't need to!!)

D&C 61:36 Here.

Heb 13:5 Here.He will not leave us

can you send some jamie oliver 15 min meals. I figure they'll be the only ones I have time to cook on the mission.

I ate some horse at a tongan members house. tastes pretty good. 

I met Elder Ngunugtau from liverpool stake he knows Pres Shum and Wong and Patriarch Chou Lee.

stake conference was good...I'm running out of time so that will have to do...

Love you all

Elder Cox
