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 help of my comp in narrogin they were able to get it to some elders at transfers who got it to me. Then that day it rained heaps like more than it has this whole winter. So it was definitely a blessing that I had my rain jacket. 
Then also this week we did some gardening for a returning member in the ward. And then had a couple of feeds with other returning members this week.
My comp has the worst luck too. So after one of the dinner appointments with a returning member we got back to our bikes which were locked up and elder Alamoni front and back wheels were gone. This is the third time someone has pinched some part of his bike. So hopefully we get him some new wheels soon.
Anyway on Sunday was fathers day. At church we had a part member family that we are working with come so it was awesome to see them. In 3rd hour we got to teach some of the youth that are preparing to serve missions in mission prep. After church we were asked by the bishop to give the sacrament to one of the older ladies in the ward who couldn't make it to church. It is always special being able to bring the sacrament to someone and reminds me of how blessed we are to each week be able to renew renew our baptismal covenants and remember our savior Jesus Christ and His atonement through the sacrament. Later that evening we had dinner with bishop. 
I hope everyone has a great 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 ...
