In which I meet my first Kangaroo

And second, and third, and 20th, and 50th. And who knows how many beyond that. 

It's been another good week! Elder Liu and I have been working hard to keep a hold of our investigators and keep them progressing. Busy, but always good. 

Zone P Day was yesterday, so we went out to Phillips Island. We had a wonderful time wandering through a sort of nature park with hundreds of Australian animals on display. Most of them were just wandering through. Hundreds of kangaroos, wallabies, emus, and who knows what else. I met a tasmanian devil or two (behind walls, thank heavens) and a handful of other crazy dangerous Australia pengyous. It was great fun. Phillips Island is also known for their Penguin Parade - a chain of spots along the ocean where little penguins hide in their little tunnels. So much fun. It was a fantastic day and we took some phenomenal pictures. 

As far as the work, it was a long week. Investigators were a little harder to get a hold of. Regardless - we keep on keeping on. Elder Liu and I had a chance to meet with Mandy again, and we're so excited about her progress. We've had many chances to serve our members, and we're learning more and more about relying fulling on the Spirit of the Lord to guide is to do His work. One day at a time, we keep on growing. 

Short email this week - we've got lessons to teach and people to take care of because today isn't P Day (we're not being dodgy, promise. President gave us permission to email today). Know that I love you all. I hope we all can better come unto Christ by learning about and applying the power of His atonement. There is no pain or grievance that cannot be overcome by Jesus Christ. We can find the peace He has promised. We just need trust in Him. 

Have a lovely week! I miss you all. Keep doing your best and I look forward to hearing from you all soon.
