Good day mates!
Man
i've been dying to do that forever haha. Anyway. I'm IN AUSTRALIA.
Yeah, it doesn't feel too different. Haha. missionary work is the same
everywhere. But i'm so grateful to finally be here. I am in caboolture. I
thought it was called Kaboocha. And i was like oh that sounds like an
African village but then i realized it was their accents and I felt a
little silly haha. Anyway, I am here! I hope that I stay in this area
for at least 6 months. Im so tired of moving every 5 seconds haha.
The airplane ride
wasn't too bad, I only threw up once. TMI? Haha sorry. Anyway a lady on
our flight recognized me in customs from galena. Apparently her daughter
was in it in my junior year. It was so funny! I met her on the other
side of the world! Anyway we got here and then went straight off with
our trainers! My companion is sister Taivei. She is from fiji. She's so
funny. Very quiet. When I drive she tells me where to go and i can
barely hear her haha. But I love her so much. We have fun all the time.
We laugh about how creepy missionaries are. She said she had a trainee
one time who wwent up to contact someone and all she said was "Hi! Do
you live here with your children?" Haha she was so embarrassed but it
was soooo funny. We really are creepers. But hey, we have a message!
Well we work with a
lot of less actives. Its actually awesome i love it! The ward here is
awesome. They are already on top of everything. Sometimes they take
over, but hey its better than having to beg them to come out with us.
Theres actually a ward missionary who wears a name badge to church. Not
sure exactly why haha. Oh MY GOSH. HEAVENLY FATHER IS SO MINDFUL OF ME.
Let me tell you why. Last night we went to go see Kevin Kristic, he was
baptized 30 years ago. he is one of those people who investigates every
religion. We sat down and he just got right into it and started talking
about the universe and our souls. Kinda way to deep for me at 8:30 pm.
But yeah. With people like that, I just cant even focus. I tried to keep
my face from looking confused so that was my main focus. But yeah after
we got home I was so drained and then a member called us and told us
she forgot to bring over our dinner. OMG SHE BROUGHT MCDONALDS. I know
that sounds funny but seriously. A burger is what i needed. Anyway yeah
the ward is awesome the people are awesome. Everyone here thinks we're
polygamists so thats why they wont even take cards haha. oh and we
street contacted this guy and apparently his wife is less active and her
whole family is active it was sweet! and she came to church sunday. so
we're excited to keep working with her. Her name is amelia. but i love
it so far! driving isnt too bad actually. i only went on the wrong side
of the road twice and it was in a neighborhood so its all good.
I
dont quite get their humor yet and its apparent that they really dont
understand mine haha. but its all good they'll love me for who i am
eventually right?
Anyway love you guys. We're all one army! Im sure i forgot stuff. but my fingers hurt.
Love always, sistah mullen
