Normally, Transfers are on Wednesday, but due to some miscommunication of sorts, our transfer was Today! Elder Iumalo came up from Rockingham and spent the night with us, and this morning, Elder Swoboda departed on his bus to go down to Bunbury.
Iumalo and I are excited to be together again. We all went over to the Turner's home last night to have a family prayer with them. David and Edward are really going to miss Elder Swoboda. But they like Elder Iumalo now too, so that's good :)
We've been having a great time with them! David and Edward are solid investigators. Edward, especially, has made a huge change in his life. They're so willing to live the gospel, and do whatever it takes.
Sunday we had Stake Conference! All 5 wards in Dianella Stake gathered together at the chapel next to the temple. We seriously had a convoy going on on the way to the chapel- Us, the Turners in their two cars, then our Ward Mission leader got behind us, and then a couple other families as well! It was awesome.
There were some really good talks during the conference, including from the stake patriarch, and the temple president and matron :) Really cool. Edward was really struck by how important marriage was in the church. :)
Teresa is doing good. She knows the church is true. She's just got to make that step, have the courage to go for it despite her family. We're continuing to encourage and support her. She'll get there.
Guess what? There were 10 baptisms this past week. Barriers are being smashed here. :D It's so awesome!
I love you all! Thanks for the prayers :) I love being out here, I'm happy to be able to share this wonderful gospel with the people around me. I love to see the change it's making in so many people's lives.
Have a wonderful week!
Love,
Daniel
