The Mountains of Green

Hi there, everybody! It's been a pretty good week, here in Greenmount. It's the closest I'll probably ever officially be to the mission office :D

It's also very close to the airport, but nobody'd better be thinking of that right now.

Greenmount is really nice. And, like its name, is very green and very mountainous (relative). We're on bikes, and so now I'm really giving the gears a workout :D We've got a couple of awesome investigators, too! One is named Teresa. She's of italian heritage. She works at the library that we use for our emails. Teresa is going to get baptised soon. She has read the book of mormon, and Knows, without a shadow of a doubt, that it's true. I feel awed at her level of conversion. She is not feeling just that it's something good for her to do, she knows she Needs it and very much wants to make it a part of her life. It's awesome. Opposition is always a player, it seems, though, and her family isn't happy with it. The ward has been very supportive and encouraging, and we're certain that she'll be all right.

My district is very small! It's me and elder Swoboda, Sister Jeffrey and Sister Billy, and the zone leaders. So. Small district meetings, methinks. But they're all good missionaries. Sister Billy is fresh from Micronesia, from an island called Chuuk (pronounced Took). (For those of you who remember one of my other companions, Elder Naruo, she's from the same place as him. They know each other. Small world hahaha!)

Elder Swoboda is from Adelaide. He's been out about 6 months. We actually met about 6 months ago during a mission conference, and neither of us had any idea we'd be serving together. Cool.

Yup, so the work continues here in Perth, Australia. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers :)

Love to you all!

Elder Reeder
