Rain!

WE GOT RAIN!! For the first time since I got here, which was December 2nd. It was the best storm ever too. Got some golf ball sized hail, lots and lots of rain, and so much wind. The only thing that was missing was tornado sirens haha. The best thing about it was that it was on a P-day and the zone leaders were at our flat hanging out with our district and when it started raining we went outside and started running around in it. Don't worry, we didn't get sick. But it was so much fun. Luckily some missionaries from up north called us and told us it was coming so we were able to get the cars in a safe place.

We had our interviews with President Maurer on Friday and they were like the shortest interviews ever. I think President is getting excited to go home. After Zone Stewardships he challenged a missionary to a basketball game (and lost) but it was just funny. He's getting more and more laid back I can tell.

This is most likely my last week in my first area, boo-yah! I wanna go country next transfer, I think that would be sweet. Maybe up to Broome. Or down to Albany or Kalgoorlie where it would be a bit colder this time of year. I can't wait to find out where I'm going, if I'm going. But the impression I got from President the other day was that I'm going to be moving, which is sweet.

Not a whole lot happening in the terms of missionary work in this area. We are still teaching the same people we've been teaching for the past few weeks or months and haven't made much progress. We did run into some new people this week and were able to teach them, but we'll see how they go.

We did have a great service opportunity this week. We were running to the butcher because we had no food and the butcher was about to close and we saw a lady putting some stuff in here car, it was a lot of stuff so we decided to help. She told us there was even more inside so we went in and helped her. When we finished helping her she told us what all the stuff was for, she said she was selling this stuff to try to raise money to buy her granddaughter and new walker or something and she started crying and asked us to pray for her and her granddaughter and her son and then she asked us if we have any reading material for her so we gave her a restoration pamphlet. She was so happy. We couldn't get her address from her but hopefully she runs into some missionaries down the road or something. It was just a really sweet experience. We weren't there to get meat, we were there to help her. But, we were still able to get our mince before the shop closed? So it was all good.

We're having a zone p-day today. Should be fun. We're going to give blood at noon and then going to the chapel and Sister Maurer is going to make us lunch and then we'll probably play some basketball or rugby. Hopefully basketball, I suck at rugby lol. Hope you all are having a good week. Hear from you soon!

Love,
