Hello everyone,

I do not have much time to write. I am getting transferred to Box Hill, one of my favorite areas. I served there a while ago, only for a transfer. I still remember a lot of the members and investigators. It will be a lot of fun. I will miss my current area. I will be able to come back to the city for Cici’s baptism, the girl we have been teaching here.

So I will spend half of the day today with Elder Vang, because he is ending his mission, and then we will go back and pack.

General Conference

Hello Everyone,

Sorry, I am pressed for time this week. General conference was great. 

This was one of my favorite talks

We had to move Cici's baptismal back because of General Conference, and her exams at college. But she will get baptized on the 23rd. She came to conference yesterday and she was telling her friends that she was being baptized on that date and they were all very excited. She is very awesome. We are also excited for her! I just hope I do not get transferred! Transfers are in a week. We had an 8 week transfer.

Anyways, these are the main things that happened this week. Until next week.

Super fast week and 3/4 mark!

We had hotpot this week with some other missionaries. How come I have never seen hotpot in the USA? It is the best thing ever. 

Well, just as the title says, this week went by SUPER fast and I hit my 3/4 mark. 6 more months left.

We had interviews with president this week. He is always a little pressed for time, but we had a good talk about my area, and what goals I have for my last 6 months. 

When we picked up Elder Padilla from the office, there was a sealing that just finished, for someone that I knew from Box Hill. And someone had a drone to take photos.

We had a couple of people come to church this Sunday. Cici, the girl who can get baptized soon came. Also a new person that Elder Padillia found came. Since their school brake ends today, they are busy again, but we will find a chance to meet with them again.

Thank all of you for your support. I really enjoy your emails, even if I do not get a chance to respond. Our time spent on the computer is really limited. But I do read all of the emails I get and I appreciate every one.

This Week in Melbourne

Eureka Skydeck is the tallest building in Melbourne.

The time has been passing super fast since I have gotten back from Tasmania.

I do not have much time to write today because I will be picking up another missionary and we will be serving in a trio. That missionary is Elder Padillia! I have already served with him twice before; once in the MTC and another time in Melbourne.

Things are super good in our branch right now. There have been a few baptisms lately, and the Branch President's two kids just got back from their mission. They teach the class that our investigators go to during church, and they are good teachers. They always have us interact, and break up into groups to study scriptures and things like that.

The most recent Baptism was a guy named Lambo. I found him a Long time ago, when I was in another area. At that time, he stopped meeting with us because he had some other things, and then he went back to China. When I came back to my area, I saw him at Church. I later found out that he was being baptized! And then he got baptized a week ago.

Lamo is third from the left.

This is really a testimony to me. The whole time I was in that area, I thought it was one of the worst areas, and we did not meet with many people, and it felt like we weren't getting anywhere. Another miraculous thing was that I found him in a place where we only went finding once, and then never went again.

Last p-day we went to a free film museum. I have been there before, but I was taking my friend Elder Vang since he is going home soon. This is why I have been doing more things on p-day lately. It was super cool and they had an exhibit on Minecraft.

I also learned how to play Sanguosha! A super fun Chinese card game. Still can not read the cards though.

Well we have to pick up my new companion soon. Until next week!
