G'day! I'm so blessed to be in Dee Why right now. There is so much going on and I am just loving the teaching experiences that E Modlik and I have and the spiritual experiences we have had lately. This ward is so amazing. They have no fear it seems like when it comes to missionary work and thats really have everyone should be. They just know their purpose and I think they really take the scripture to heart "Love casteth out all fear." Charity, the pure love of Christ. We had a couple amazing things happen this week. We went to see Ema Taimoni she's a nice Tongan lady who actually just got out of the marines not too long ago and E. Modlik has been teaching her but I met her for the first time and I just asked her the quesiton, "Have you had a chance to pray about what E. Modlik has been teaching you?" and she gave me the funniest look! I was just uhh....lol and she just said, "Why? I know its true". I was just dumbfounded and we had a great lesson about the gospel of Jesus Christ after that and we set a baptismal date with her for the 19th of December. It was so exciting. She's acutally related to Sister Hopohate(the Hopoates are a very strong family in the ward) and actually Brother John Hopoate is the Boxing heavyweight champion of Australia and he is a very famous rugby league player. ITS AWESOME! He's a beast of a man! He's the Young Men's president so he has a great impact on the boys in the ward. You'll have to look him up on youtube. Anyways we also had an amazing night last night. We met with Candice cross, the investigator from the last email that got an answer to her prayer right in front of us, at the Teaupa's and we had an amazing family home evening with them. We shared a message about the atonement. I did push ups for everyone that wanted or didnt want a chocolate in the room to show an example of jesus christ's sacrafice for us. Remember that story? It was really cool and so fun and a great way to get the members to love you :). We've been really worried about Candice all week because she told us that her parents are really against her getting baptised into the mormon church so we've been praying nonstop and just asking for a miracle and last night Candice told us that she had spoken to her parents about getting baptised and her mum actually took her to see a catholic priest and the priest tried to convince her otherwise but she just told him, and her mum, that she knew that the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints is the true church and that she was going to convert! HALLELUJAH! HALLELIJAH! It was so great to hear that from her and she is so excited. And so are we! She should get baptised in December too!! We also have a couple of other potentials that should get baptised next month so we're just working hard and expecting miracles. I LOVE MISSIONARY WORK! So basically its been really exciting lately and E. Modlik and I are just having a blast. The weather is getting hotter though. Sunday was so ridiculous. Well I gotta go. I love you all! Cheers!
