well the week started out good we went on two tradeoffs this week. i went with a tongan elder from auckland new zeland elder uele. he used to be a professional rugby player and came along ways to get on his mission. we had heaps of fun i love islanders so care free and so happy all the time. lots of good things are happening right now we have been teaching an aussie family and they will be getting baptized on saturday it has been really cool watching the change from "Im Catholic, well in the catholic church they do this..." to " I want to be baptized so i can be washed clean and be with my family forever." we are still struggling to find people that are elect we talk to everyone we see, so just patience and dilligence and faith will give us some hopefully. Me and elder Comfort are having a blast still just doing the work but laughing at the same time. It is hektek. i went on a trade off two days ago with elder wang foo- a tahitian elder who just learned english he has only been a member for about a year now. When he would teach he didnt speak the best english but he had the purest teaching and the spirit was pumpin. we were driving back and he was teaching me some french because they speak that in tahiti. and i just thought how much god loves me to give me such cool as expirience riding in a car in wester suburbs of australia with an elder who speaks hardly any english from tahiti teaching me french and bringing the most important message to the world. We talked to each other about it and just laughed because it was too crazy. we had heaps of fun, now he calls me crazy utah boy. I was reading in the doctorine and covenants the other day i dont know where at but it was talking about how the reward comes after the tribulation. and it got me thinking about choice and how everything in life comes down to a choice. Our becoming is determined by our desire but desire is acted by our choices. we can either choose freedom or captivity, no one but ourself can interfere with with the outcome either good or bad. Me and elder comfort were tracting the other day and we found a dead dog on the side of the road. so of course i waited for the cars to stop coming and grabbed it and got a picture with it. so now i have a rat, a possum, and a dog. all i need now is a kangaroo. I havent seen one yet and this it is the national animal freak. maybe one transfer i will get sent to the bush.. who know.
