We had a really great week :) Elder Segi and I got to see Jady baptised! It was really cool. His whole family turned up for it, and several families in the ward as well :) Everyone loves him.
Hahaha, it was a really bizarre morning, though. We got to the chapel to get the font ready, and guess what was inside? The Rockingham Clogger's Association, with their annual get-together in full swing. Who approves stuff like this? Our jaws just about hit the floor. Same with the bishop :D Luckily, they weren't using more than the cultural hall, so we went to the other end of the chapel for the program. It was all good.
There were 7 baptisms in the mission this weekend!
We also were able to get in contact with Jules again! He's been really busy with job training, and forgot his phone. We brought him to church this last Sunday. That guy is Amazing. He was singing the hymns, he took notes during class, asked questions, Seriously got into it :) He loved being there, made some new friends, and wants to come back next week. We're going to set a new date for him next time we see him.
Guess how far we biked in one day? 72 k's. (That's 45 miles.) We found out there are some families living way out in the country, and we decided to go visit them. And then we had to bike all the way to the other end of our area for an appointment. What a day. Allie, I saw a statue of a pink elephant, and thought of you ;)
So, back to transfers. *Drum-Roll*
I got a call yesterday from the Assistants. I have a Plane Ticket to Karratha! I'm leaving today sometime, and taking a plane tomorrow, up to the near-northernmost part of WA. IT'S HOT UP THERE! But exciting :D I'm packing my one bag, and leaving everything else (bike, etc.) at the mission office for storage. It'll be cool. And kind of sad. It was becoming really fun here in Kwinana! My new companion will be Elder Pasina, and he will be the District Leader. Elder Segi is going to Train now :) There are 12 new missionaries coming into the mission tomorrow!
(Oh yeah, fun fact: The mission HQ in Salt Lake City usually gets around 500 requests a week, average. The week after General Conference, they got 7,000. Is missionary work increasing? I THINK SO.)
Yup, that's what's going on this week, down in Oz.
Random event of the week: One of our recent converts, named Kevin, was driving up to Kalgoorlie last week. He hit a kangaroo. Apparently that's a pretty common thing to happen.
Hey! It's the Christmas Season! I hope? Happy Holidays :) go ski!
Love,
Elder Reeder
