So, I have 14 minutes to smash out
this email. I won't be able to write everything.
Within the first 5 days of me being
here, we committed 3 people to baptism. We teach lessons whenever we can and
I'm learning a lot super quick. I could be training next transfer,
but if not, definitely the one after because there's a whole bunch of
missionaries coming in every transfer now. Our teaching pool is small at
the moment because we're basically starting from scratch. We do A LOT of
walking and lots of bus catching. That's all our transport consists of. We talk
to everyone, we invite people to be baptized in the first or second lesson. My
favourite investigator we have at the moment is called Frank. His wife Susan
and son Dominic joined the church just over a year ago now. Frank has tattoos
on his arm and has almost no teeth in the top of his mouth. We've seen him 3
times in the last week. The first time we met with him he was loud and swore
all the time. We took our gun Tracey (who's a member in the ward here -
basically a missionary herself) with us… We got a feel of how Frank is and then
the second visit, I took control… he was the only one there so Tracey, Sister
McReynolds and I sat with him and talked to him for over an hour. We know he
has a kind heart, he loves his wife and he loves his grandson and kids. He even
thought about it before he said a swear word. ..He's great. Loads of
potential. We're going to work more with him. I wish I could tell you way way
way more about him but this is going to log off in 9 minutes. :(
I met Pres Pilkington and
his wife on Sunday. They're in our ward but they probably won't be there
much because they'll travel a lot. They're really great. I look forward to
getting to know them.
Tell everyone who you know has
written to me that I'm super super sorry but I'm so busy and hardly get time to
do anything! This hour has gone so quick already!
Thanks love you heaps and heaps
