We had a great week! On Thursday, we had a YSA Activity at the chapel. We invited Nathaniel to it. Nathaniel is Really quiet, but he was willing to come along. The YSA here is small but enthusiastic. They played Volleyball and he got way into it. The Oldfields, (ysa leaders) told us afterwards that he absolutely loved it. Boo yah. Also, elder Beck hit elder Evans in the face with the volleyball.
Our two baptismal dates are going pretty well. Tautiana came to church with her family this last sunday, which was great progress. We're going over tonight with another ward member to teach the family about the Plan of Salvation. We finalized the date for July 20th (yes, it's a Friday, we've had to explain it several times.) when Sister King won't have to work.
Zach Jenner's baptism is coming up, but we're having problems with contacting the family lately. They haven't been to church the past couple of weeks. Gotta keep trying, keep praying.
Also, we have some new investigators again! One's name is Samantha. She is an aboriginal lady, with a small child. We met her in front of her house, and we ended up teaching her a bit about the gospel and how it can bless families. She was really into it, and thanked us for bringing it back into her life. Woohoo! There's a lot of potential in this area, we just have to look really hard for it :) On another note, we tracted into a man a couple of days ago, who was adamant that mormons are not Christian. It was a really interesting meeting with him, a very polite, calm discussion.
By the way, apparently there are mountains or something in Melbourne? Brother Nields, the ward mission leader, is going skiing this week! So awesome.
President Lindsay has arrived in Perth! We are writing to him this morning, and we'll have another zone conference in Rockingham this Friday, where we get to meet him and hear from him for the first time! I can't wait to see what he does.
Oh, I just remembered: The Chapmans, (their son Ben is in the MTC right now, heading to Washington DC) have relatives in Utah! Sister Chapman's grandmother, lives in Farmington, or Bountiful, or thereabouts. Does anyone know the Oviats? (Oviates/Ohveeits/something) Anyway, it's her grandmother. Just thought I'd let you know.
Speaking of mission stuff, Mini missions are about to start! This saturday, a lot of the young men/women in the ward are going to be spending a few days with missionaries! I have no idea if they'll be with us or not, but it sounds pretty cool!
That's my week, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. :D
Take it easy,
Elder Reeder
