So it has been a pretty awesome week down in the great Australia Perth Mission. So at the beginning of this week we were visiting with one of our investigators and we learned that there was another member in Narrogin that we did not know. We visited them and and they fed us dinner. It was awesome. 

Then late Wednesday night, we drove up to Perth and had exchanges with the elders up there on Thursday. I went with Elder Christofferson whos dad is the cousin of the apostle. (so I got my connections). So in the morning we went and did service for a less active in the ward. Apparently the sisters in the ward set up the service for us but they forgot to tell us that the member didn't have a mower or whipper-snipper (weed wacker) so we had to just use our hands. 

On Friday, we had our zone conference which was super awesome. President Fife talked about the story of Caleb in the Bible when the Israelites leave Egypt. Before they entered the promise land they sent 12 people in to spy. The 12 brought back lots of fruit and said the land flowed with milk and honey but all of the 12 except Caleb and Joshua did not want to go in because they feared the giant people that dwelt in the land. But Joshua and Caleb had faith that God had the power to overcome any obstacle. God has promised blessings for each of us and as we trust in Him we can be strengthened to overcome anything. 

After zone conference we drove back down to Narrogin. And on Saturday, we had the 40th anniversary of the Narrogin chapel. Heaps of the old members that moved out of the branch came down to visit. We met one guy that had been a mission president in Italy at 27 years old and had later served as temple pres and area seventy. On Sunday, we had 48 people attend which is almost 3 times more than usual because some of the former members stayed. 

Anyway hope everyone is doing well.
