Yes, that's right! This morning we got our Transfer calls! Elder Naruo is being transferred to Bunbury, to be a Zone leader! And I'm still here in Armadale. My new companion will be Elder Iamalo, who actually came into the mission at the same time as me.
Elder Naruo is sad to be leaving the area, he loves it here.
So this week we had a lot of things going on! Elder Naruo spent two days down in Albany, doing baptismal interviews with the zone leaders. 6 baptisms happening in the next couple weeks, in our zone! Woohoo!
Tautiana's baptism: It's actually happening THIS Friday. She was Not feeling well last friday morning. ITS SO CLOSE THOUGH.
We've been having some pretty cool experiences out on the streets! We ran into a guy named Sean, walking around. He loves God, and wants to share that love with everybody he meets. We are certain that meeting him, and giving him a book of mormon, was meant to be. He asked us to come by to share more with him later. He seems totally for real! I can't wait.
We also found some former investigators! Their names are Brendan and Catherine. Brendan was being taught by the missionaries last year, but stopped investigating. He invited us over for dinner last monday, and told us that he wanted to quit smoking, and hear the lessons again.
This weekend was the Ward Conference. Saturday, we had an awesome ward activity at the chapel- Minute to Win it, and Fear Factor games, by the different groups/quoroms, and a barbeque! The turnout was great, and everyone had a blast. My favorite game was an egg roll: place an egg on the ground, and blow on it until it reaches the finish line. Some of the contestants got a bit dizzy :D
Also, apparently I am on tv! Daniel Luland told me that a friend of his had asked him "Hey, when's your friend that looks like he's from arrow computers coming by?" Daniel thought immediately of me. There is a commercial with some guy with red hair getting all excited for computer deals- he showed it to me, and seriously, if I had red hair, that would be me. Hahaha!
There is a single mom in the ward, who was a bit less-active for a while. We started visiting her, and teaching her, every day. Sharing our testimonies with her, singing hymns together, and helping her to develop a habit of prayer. She has really opened up and she's set a goal to go to the temple, and to read the book of mormon. She wants to be able to be a good example for her children. We've felt the spirit every time we go over there, and we can tell that she has as well.
Awesome.
And that is my week. I hope you're enjoying summer over there. :)
Love you all!
Elder Reeder
