This week has been pretty crazy. The relaters sold our flat so we spent 2 days moving everything out and into the new flat(australian term for house). It was a little discouraging for us because it took heaps of time away from proselyting and we didn't get to help as many people as we had hoped but it is a new week and we are ready to change extra people's lives to make up for it. Our new flat is pretty big and has heaps of spiders around it. There is one in particular that is about 1.5 inches long. We call him Henry and we sometimes watch him eat bugs he catches in his web. The rest we are trying to exterminate.
It was so exciting!!! at the beginning of last week we got a Baptismal Date. it is for the 29th of October so I am way stoked to take part in a baptism. Is is for a boy named Morona. He is 9 years old and his family are all active members except for his mom. She is a non-member and she smokes so we are trying to get her to start the quit-smoking program soon so we can get her to want to be baptised. Hopefully she will want to come to church soon too. They are such an awesome family.
The other family we have been teaching was really busy last week and we didn't get a chance to start them on the quit smoking program so hopefully we will get an appointment with them this week to do that. I really want to see them quit smoking so we can get them baptised. We are praying for them all the time and working hard with fellowship. We are trying to fellowship them with Morona's family but they are really busy with their lives and it is hard to get members help sometimes. We are doing our best though.
It is also pretty exciting about a less active family we recently reactivated. They are going to the temple this Saturday to get their endowments and sealed together. It is amazing that we can be with our families together forever and I am so grateful for that.
I hope you are all doing well and that the church is strong in your lives continually.
