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 and mowing grass.
Sunday was a long day with ward council before church and missionary coordination meeting after. During sacrament meeting the stake patriarch spoke about the importance of patriarchal blessing which was cool.
On Monday there was a public holiday for the queen’s birthday so our P-Day was pushed to today.
I definitely know that the Lord is in this work and it is always exciting to go see the small little miracles that happen. I hope everyone has an awesome week.
Love
Elder Nelson

 This has been a really good week. Last week when we had our zone conference with Elder Ardern of the seventy he challenged us to reach the goal of every companionship finding 2 new people to teach in the next week. That meant we were shooting for 106 new people as a mission. Recently in the mission we had been struggling to find people to teach. In the past 2 weeks we had only found 40ish people. So we had to exercise a lot of faith and work hard to reach our goal. In the end we found 161 new people to teach. I thought it was so cool to feel the urgency and desire to find as many people as we can to teach the gospel to. It reminds me of a quote from preach my gospel about setting goals....  "I am so thoroughly convinced that if we don’t set goals in our life and learn how to master the techniques of living to reach our goals, we can reach a ripe old age and look back on our life only to see that we reached but a small part of our full potential. ...

This week was so awesome because we had exchanges, zone conference and general conference. So last p-day we went to a nature reserve to hike around. We met a group of older couples that were going on a tour and looking at all the flowers in the park. The guide asked if we wanted to come along so we were like sure. So we hike around and stop every few meters to look at really tiny flowers. It turns out the group is from new York which was exciting. We tried to talk to them more but they were more interested in the super tiny flowers. The entire time i was worried that i would step on a super rare Australian plant and get attacked by some old lady with a pair of binoculars. Just kidding.  Anyway on Tuesday we drove down to Katanning which is about an hour south of Narrogin. We visited some members and some potentials and then we did some tracting. So we were driving around looking for a place to tract and we passed a street and i felt like we needed to tract i...

This week has been awesome. The Kalgoorlie area has been on fire. Mostly because it has been super-hot but also because we have been able to find a lot of people who are keen to hear the message. So on Monday we had a meeting with our ward mission a leader where we created a ward mission plan to present in ward council. It is really based on helping individuals and families create plans for ways they can share the gospel. On Wednesday we had another meeting with Hoje the man from China we are teaching. He is leaving this week to head back to China and we will definitely miss him. Being able to meet with him has really helped me realize how blessed we are to have always been able to attend church where ever we have lived. Some place in the world like China don't have as many members and it can be hard for them to meet together. Hopefully he will be able to get in contact with the members in China when he gets back. That evening we had dinner with a lot of the members of ...
