Elder Nelson's Mission in Perth Australia

On Monday we had our zone P-Day so all of the missionaries came to a big park in our area and we had a sausage sizzle. They put together a scavenger hunt and after we tossed the rugby ball around. Then later that evening we had a lesson with the part member family we are working with. We talked about the Spirit and how it is through the Spirit as we do things like pray and read the scriptures that we gain a testimony. They are progressing really well and it is awesome to see the changes. On Wednesday we had a couple lessons with members and being able to work with them to do missionary work. One of the families has been bringing a boy to church that is friends with one of the boys. They set up for us to go by and start teaching him and his family which was awesome. We were able to teach him the restoration and invited him to be baptized and he is keen. So we look forward to that happening soon. Member Missionary miracles. Then this Saturday we had a service doing some weeding...

So this past couple days has been awesome. We have been continuing to put the records into the area book planner app and we are almost done. Also this week the back tyre on my bike broke. It wasn't really a surprise because for the past month or two the wheel has been bent. So I was rising my bike and it started making some funny noises and then all of a sudden the rod or bolt thingy that goes through the centre of the true snapped. So that was fun. On Friday we were in the flat most of the day doing planning, studies and the area book. So I look forward this week to be able to go out more and get to work. Then on Saturday we had a service doing some gardening for a member of the ward. Then on Sunday we had our ward council and they did training on how they were going to improve the ward council by making it more unified to focus on improving the ward. And after church we had our MCM  One of the great parts of missionary work is being able to help members do m...

So it has been a really good week and a half. At the start of last week we had our zone conference. They talked about how to use the new area book planner app on the phones. It is so cool. So this week we have been doing the slow process of moving all the information from the paper records and putting it on the app. Also at the conference Pres Bennallack discussed finding the elect and the elect are those that will hear God's voice and harden not their hearts. Then this past weekend was stake conference and they talked a lot about ministering. On Monday we had a lesson with a part member family and we shared the gospel of Jesus Christ. We brought one of the members with us and it was awesome to hear his testimony of reading the Book of Mormon to gain a spiritual witness. We are hoping that we will be able to help the mother and daughter get baptized soon. Another cool experience we had this week that strengthened my testimony of the Spirit was on Tuesday. So we ...

So this past Monday was really awesome. For P-Day all of the elders in the zone came together and played grid iron and touch rugby and while we were playing it started raining really hard. It was really fun. Then later that night we had a lesson with bishop and his family. They are from the UK and after the lesson they gave us kit Kats from the UK which are way different from the American and Aussie ones.  (It is funny because we are emailing at Maccas (McDonald's) and a lady just came up to us and was like why aren't you guys in school because we look really young. )  Then on Wednesday was transfers. Elder alamoni is still with me which of course he is excited about. i also had a huge miracle that day. So when I left narrogin the only thing I forgot is my rain jacket and since narrogin is 3+ hours away it is super hard to get anything from there. So i have been able to manage without one while i have been here. But through some careful planning and with the hel...
