Wow so much to say and so little time. I will have to keep it short and sweet this week.
xin nian kuai le (Happy New Year)
We had an activity at the branch to celebrate the Lunar New Year. It's a big holiday in China. We had a big party at the branch with food and a dragon costume. Unfortunately none of our investigators were able to make it.
Our area is pretty slow right now. We are in a suburb, and though we like to talk to everyone, it's hard to find Chinese people. All of the college students (many of which are from China) seem to be busy right now. I do like this area though. It is a little out of the city, so there is more nature. I saw a "kangaroo crossing" road sign a couple of days ago. I will have to get my picture by that before I leave. Apparently people run into kangaroos here and it's pretty dangerous.
I went door knocking for the first time. That was interesting. I don't like it as much as street contacting. Everyone here has these "do not knock" signs on their door, and Aussies will vocally let you know that they don't want to be bothered. Though a couple of people did let us into their home, and we had a couple of good lessons.
We have this one investigator named Bonnie. She is from China, and she came here to study. She likes to talk on the phone. A couple of days ago she called us because she had a good experience with prayer. She lost her wallet, which had cash and other important documents in it. She said a prayer, and a college teacher ended up finding it in one of her classes and returning it.
My companion and I work together very well.
The weather in Melbourne is crazy. This morning the sun was blazing, and now it is pouring rain.
