Rolling with the unplanned

Hey Family,

What can I say about this week..... It has been really eye opening and over all I would say I pretty good week.

Monday- P-DAY! This weeek we had distroct P-Day. We went to a park for a picnic and to play some games. We had to leave early so that I could go drive with the AP's to see if I could get my car! I passed their test and I'm officially driving in Australia. (Which is on the wrong side of the road??)

Tuesday- Zone meeting which was great then we went to go kill some time before we had transfer interviews. So we went to the Mayland area and tracted there. After interviews we went to see a potential and after we had dinner at the Vincent's house.

Wednesday- The most unplanned for day ever! During our studies we received a phone call from the English testing center. They said the needed us to come down to the center to clear some stuff up. So we called the senior couple over the ESL program but they were five hours away. So I had to drive all the way to the city. Me someone who just barely started to drive in Australia. But we made it there and back just fine and we though we were all done with it but…..

Thursday- Once again another unplanned for day. We received another phone call from the testing center during studies. e had to go all the way back to the city again. I can now say that I hate driving in the City. After we got back we only had time to go to MCM. So just like that two days were gone.

Friday- We had to go to the mission office for Elder ho to be able to help another Elder apply for BYU. After that we had a meeting with all the district leaders in our zone so we just stayed at the mission office. After we had time to go see some people and were able to have some good discussions.

Saturday- We woke up and left to go do some service for the Berryman family. They needed some help running a concession stand a fundraising netball tournament. This gave me a chance to learn all about netball. 

Then we went to see one of our investigators Jok. We had a great lesson with him. After we went to a Blitz. We had a great talk with a door to door salesman who was a little confused on why we were knocking on doors. But we enlightened him.

Sunday-What a great day! Church was great even though I had to speak in sacrament. We had a surprise! A man came to church that no one knew. We talked to him and found out a member in another ward gave him a Book of Mormon and invited him to church. Member missionary work works! after church we ate lunch at the Brown's house. After that we visited some people.

Monday- Queens Day! Or in other words it was the Queen's Birthday. We had a district meeting. After we had a picnic for members investigators, and less Actives. This was great it gave a chance for members to start to fellowship the people we are working with. After words we visited some people.

I hope all is well back home. If there is anything I can do for anyone just let me know!

Love,

Elder Leatherow

PS ~ I will be watching conference one week after you all so please don't spoil it for me!  We can talk about it after we have all listened and been spiritually uplifted.
