Hello again people from America, I hear the government started up again or something like that, I was rather confused by that information it was just suddenly thrown out there and we got laughed at for being from the states.

Had a beautiful week, although I don't have too much time so this will be rather short. Had a hard out Sunday, gave a talk and then was asked to share a message to the primary and then was asked to teach sunday school and I already had to prepare a lesson for Priesthood. So it was just fullaz. Luckily it all worked out, plus we had a fire drill in the middle of it which caused me to miss out on the ice lollies in primary. The lesson in Sunday School was just pulled out of a hat about why we share the gospel and helping them share the gospel. The lesson in Priesthood was on Ch. 20 in the Lorenzo Snow manual, which went alright I guess. Not too many had manuals and that made it a bit difficult share Lorenzo Snow's experience in the temple with the Saviour and that is a very powerful experience and testimony.

The week went alright had a few lessons, but when we had a member out with us to help with the lesson, all of our appointments fell through. Learned a few stories from our fellowshipper about his mission to the Philippines and how people would run away when they heard him knock and he could see them scurrying away through the fields around their homes.

Fun-fact! Damn and hell are no longer curse words in my mind, too many times heard from the pulpit to feel that way. And now they just come out like normal adjectives, thank you New Zealand!

Nothing to really say this week other than read the first presidency message in the hymn book and to constantly sing songs!!

Kakite,
