Week 6? Where'd that come from?

13th  June 2016

Wow oh wow has this been an interesting transfer and although the days feel long the months feel short. And I can barely remember what happened yesterday let alone last week.

I guess I will share a little something.

My life has changed. I am not the same I was when I left. I am different (I was already quite different to a lot of people) but I am now more aware of myself and my actions and what I must do to be able to see the spiritual things more clearly.

It is quite Ironic that a lot of people see missionaries as these perfect beings that come out to erve for two years. When in reality, we find out how imperfect we really are. All our little habits, words that we say, things that we do, think, that are I guess things we need to work on.

Love you all

Service!

9th  June 2016

Finally after 9 weeks in this area we can do some good quality service, not that small things aren't service. But to be honest it is quite boring knocking on a street where there is no-one (and I mean literally no-one) home

So it is good to take a break and help people out.

On Monday this week we were able to have fun building a brick wall to keep the rain from washing the dirt onto the driveway so we had fun putting all of that together.

Tuesday we were at the Jones' house helping them move, to the other side of the boundary pretty much so we had fun doing that.

Last week (ending the 5th I think) we were smashing it as our District Leader told us being able to see quite a handful of people. It has been awesome in this area so far and we are just around the corner from Week 6 which means Transfer Prep.

Singing a song is Fun to do

30th  May 2016

It is fun to do. A definite highlight of this week is going through the hymnbook and singing the songs that I have never sung before and using the Tune and meter thing at the back to sing it to a tune that I know, It's been awesome.

This week.... Well We saw a lot of people, but we didn't get to see too many of the people we wanted to see. We knocked doors, and sometimes more than most we didn't see anyone. Figure this, its a saturday... and everyone's gone. Oh well. Some interesting things happened, there was a fire on the mountain controlled by the Army, Learnt about how complicated life is, and how simple you can make it.

that's all I guess.

Live Long and Prosper
Feliz Dias

Youtube "Oh happy day" my favourite song from Sister act its awesome.

Raining? No. Oldman is still snoring

16th May  2016

So this week it was interesting. and very special

We were not able to see some amazing super duper miracles, but the miracles this week came in small and simple means.

This week we had the marvelous oppurtunity to hear from An Apostle of The Lord Jesus Christ, How absolutely thrilling, and scary. It was amazing to be able to actually meet him. And found out, he is actually quite funny. Reminds me of a Heber C Kimball quote that talks about the Nature of God, and how if we can be Jovial and Fun, then we must have gotten it from him.

What a wonderful time to be on planet Earth, where new understandings come to light every day and where revelation abounds. So grateful.

So this week I learnt A tonne of things, One Particular thing in General would be the reality of words, and beginning to understand them.

I asked my Mission President Last week to send me the meaning of the suffix -ment, and I will do a study on a few words to write it out more fully, but I am loving the different words that are used to explain the gospel. and something that I am hopefully going to be able to do is to talk about a little more about the words infinite and eternal in regards to the Atonement.

I love you all.

Quick, Hopefully Powerful

 

3rd  May 2016

This last week has been a challenging week, we weren't able to meet with many people but we got to do a lot of knocking on doors. Definitely having fun doing that. Although it is quite scary because you have literally no idea on the type of the person that will open the door. So quite exilirating

I will end with the words of a favourite children's song

"we all know frogs go.. La di da di da, La di da di da, La di da di da. we all know frogs go.. La di da di da, they dont go gluump gluump gluump"

Row Row row your boat gently down the Stream.

Row your boat, Keep Going and Endure to the End

Because Children of our Heavenly Father do not go Gloomp, Gloomp Gloomp

LOVE you all
