Hello everyone,  So last Monday we had zone p-day where 20 other missionaries came to a park in our area and we played sports. Then on Tuesday we started our exchanges with the district leader. My companion went with the district leader and I got his golden he is training whose name is Elder Tiikana (pronounced like Sikana). He is from Kiribati an island in the pacific. I taught him how to make chili dogs. During exchanges we went to a follow up lesson with one of the recent converts. The next day after exchanges we traveled down to the bottom of the stake and met with the self reliance senior couple to help Elder Liao apply to BYU- H. He had to translate his transcript for them because it was all in Chinese.  On Saturday we had a really fun activity in the ward called a service auction. So it started with a quiz they gave us with heaps of random questions about church history, sports, and everything you can think of. they scored our quizzes and our score w...

So this week was pretty awesome. So on Tuesday we had a district meeting near Perth so we took the train down. As we were traveling I started talking to a man sitting next to me. He said he was from Zimbabwe and that he was a devote Christian.  We started talking about the food from Zimbabwe and then when I told him I had 6 siblings he told me that I must be from Africa. It was funny. Before we got off he gave us his business card and told us to give him a call. The next day we had a termite inspection and then had dinner with one of the families in the ward.

After the interviews Elder Liao worked with the self reliance senior couple to fill out his application for BYU-Hawaii.    On Saturday we ...

So we had to go to the mission office to pick up his passport and then headed to the the hospital which was south of Perth. We got there and when we talked to the people at the front desk they told us that they didn't do medical checks for visas and we realized that we had accidentally gone to 2 mills st when we were supposed to go to 2 mill st in down town Perth. So we headed back up to Perth and eventually found the right place.  Then the next day we did service for one of the recent converts in the ward. We moved heaps of boxes out of the garage so that a pest control guy could come and spray and then we moved them back in when he was done. It was really cool because before the service we had prayed that the service might lead us to an opportunity to share the gospel. Then while we were moving the boxes the member came out and told us that she had a no...
