Well right now we are in the push the rock stage, i love this stage but i dont at the same time nothing is really going right now. we just wake up and do our thing and hope that we will see some miracles around us. we have been teaching this guy named george and he is from lebanon. his parents only speak lebaneze, and they cook us delicious lebaneze food. Its better than mexican food. yep i said it its my new favorite food i think i might have to marry a lebaneze lady heck jacki gets to marry a mexican?? haha well george has had the book of mormon for about two weeks and he is already at jacob! he is smashing it. oy but he is also in trouble with the law. i always get to teach the winners. haha he was a body builder and then he just went on a 9 month journey to the bush to find himself. and now he is getting the gospel. He was telling us that the limelight was everything he said that he hung out with whoever wherever, he was mr. Australia for body building. So he lived the pretty crazy lifestyle. he told us that he was never able to find happiness he accomplishes things but then he is back to square 1. he is really cool and he loves us coming over and meeting with him. We were on trade offs yesterday and in the zone leaders area there is a mosque. Where all the muslims go.. it is there temple and only muslims are aloud it looks really cool and it made me think about what others think of our temple. about how cool it is but how the cant go in because they are not members it made me appreciate it even more even though i dont understand any of it. i felt blessed to have grown up in a gospel strong family. Elder Watkins seems a little bit down because he realized how tough this really is and how many trials are going to come before him in the next two years. I am teaching on of the brothers of a missionary that served a little while in our ward the tongan elder from new zeland. well anyways they are looking pretty good him and his wife just need to get married. junior is there friend that lives with them. He said that he knows that what we are teaching him is true but he just wants to live party life for a little bit longer. Im pretty much adjusted to australia now...meaning i dont even remember about utah really what it is like. i hope that everything is good back home over and out.
