Last P-Day my companion and I went to a place called the Penitentiary Chapel. Tasmania, like Australia, used to be a penal colony. Anyway, we went because this one was in the city, and it was cheaper than the others. The tour was interesting. The 2 most memorable parts were the solitary confinement cells and the place where they hang people. Other than that the tour was a little long and boring.
We met a super keen investigator near the beach yesterday. Her boyfriend is a missionary for our church and he told her to meet with us. So yeah. She is very keen. This was our first time having a lesson near Sandy Bay. It is a really beautiful beach and it is super close to our house, but for some reason we never walked by it before. Then we saw Santa riding a motorcycle along the beach.
Yesterday we had a Christmas musical fireside. We invited many investigators, and 5 new investigators came, including the girl we met at Sandy Bay. It was painful setting up rides for everyone. None of our investigators have cars because they are students, so I had to set up two cars to pick people up. And most people here only use road maps for some reasons, and the streets are so old and complicated. Aahhh. It took about an hour to set that up. It was a miracle that everyone got there and back. The activity itself was excellent. They had a few choir numbers and a few solos, and instruments, and video clips from Mormon.org. One of our new friends told us that he basically felt the spirit. And we have not even taught him about the spirit yet!
Today we will leave for the north part of Tasmania around noon. It is about a 2.5 hour drive. And there will be 5 missionaries in each Corola. The ride up there is usually not too comfortable, but I am excited for the party up there. The missionaries will have a Christmas event up there, and the President, his wife, and the assistants are flying here. Next week I will say how the party went.
