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 missionary work. This week we had one family go and invite another family to take the lessons and they accepted. We look forward to being able to teach them. I know that the restored gospel brings more joy into our life then anything else we can share with others. I hope everyone has a great week and I look forward to sharing the miracles we see with you next week.

 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 ...
