The past week has been super exciting, and tiring. We dropped off Elder Xiao and the rest of the people going to the mainland at the Hobart airport. It is a small airport, with only a few flights coming in per day.
The next day I stayed with the English missionaries. We had a couple of lessons and did some door knocking. When we knocked the first door, the person slammed the door, but after that everyone was pretty nice.
We came back home and inspected a flat to make sure it was suitable for the new missionaries coming in. We also looted a couple of things. I got a tie hanger and some Nike shoes.
The next day I got my new companion. He is Elder Dang from QingHai. He has been out for about a year. So far we get along well. Elder Dang is very good at teaching and his Chinese is very easy to understand. The first couple of days I spoke 80% Chinese.
Since the students here have their holiday right now, things are a little slow, but we have still had some lessons.
A couple of days ago we missed a bus to the city so we decided to walk. I found this trail along the coast with all of these little historical things along the way. That was a lot of fun, but it took a while. I hoped walking that trail would help Elder Dang to like this area. He loved his old area.
It seems like we visited a lot of members this week. We visited the Stewarts house yesterday, and they showed Elder Dang their Pony, and their huge yard, where they grow much of their own food. We also visited a less active and she said she would come to church for the first time in over a year. We shared about the role of Jesus Christ and it was a very spiritual lesson.
Church was great this Sunday. There was a musical number, and Sally got confirmed.
