Hello again everybody!
This week was kind of a
slow one for me and Elder McIntyre. We've spent the week just trying to get the
area up and running and figuring out the best way to split the area with the
other 2 missionaries. We've finally got it all down and we should be up and
running this week. So far it appears we have 5 investigators. One of them has a
baptismal date set for two weeks from Saturday, I believe. I haven't met her
yet, but we have a lesson with her tonight. I cannot recall her name. 2 of our
investigators are university students from China. We had a good lesson with
them this week. We won't be able to see them until their final exams are
over.
This weekend we had the
opportunity to view General Conference. I really enjoyed hearing from the
Prophet and the other general authorities. My favourite talks were given in the
Priesthood session by Bishop Causse and President Uchtdorf. Bishop Causse
emphasized the importance of making sure that nobody feels like a stranger in
the church. Even those who walk in off the street should be able to feel
welcome in our meetings. We need to be sure that all members in the church
receive fellowship from one another. Being in the mission field has taught me
how crucial that is. I also enjoyed all the talks on members assisting the
missionaries. I hope we'll see a world-wide effort of members and missionaries
working closely together.
Well, I believe that is all
I have for this week. Love you all!

I have enjoyed Toowoomba
so far. It's a beautiful town. It really reminds me of home...well, more so
than anywhere else I have served! The bishop of the Darling Heights ward is the
brother of the bishop in the Redcliffe ward (Bishop Thayer. I'm not sure if
they told you, but Bishop Ziesel was released just before they left on
holiday), so I am excited to work with him. I'm hoping that they are
like-minded, because Bishop Thayer was the best ward mission leader I have
worked with on my mission.
