Hello everyone,

 

This past week we have had four elders at our flat. One of the companionships bathrooms was being fixed, so they have been staying in ours until it is fixed. It has been great to have another set of  Elders here. We have laughed and had a jolly good time. One of the Elders is origanally from Rexburg, Elder Sawyer Clark. So it has been great to catch up with him about hunting and all the bow hunting stuff. There just isn't very many people here that are into things like that. I think its' because guns are illegal here.

 

Our friend Mahdi came to church with us yesterday! He is from Sudan and we have taught him twice. He said next week he is going to come with his son to church so we are really excited. He isn't origannaly Christian but has been interested for a few years and has been waiting for someone to teach him more :) good thing we can do that. He is a great man.

 

On thursday we ate at a poshe restaraunt with a member. I got a 20oz. steak oh it was heavenly! Then for dessert I got creme brulle. It was the first time I have ever had it and it was tasty. I also for the first time had crab as well. It was been a week full of first with food. one of the members brought us food on Friday night, he drove all the way down to Rockdale to get a kebab! It is a long way just for a kebab but it was suppose to be the best one. It was good, just really spicy.

 

On Friday night we had a sports night at our chapel. It went really well some of the young men brought their non member friends with them. So we played chair football and ping pong. I realised just how out of shape I am, and how bad at football I am. They school me left and right. It was the same way in ping pong as well. I got smoked!

 

We have what's called a mission homefireside. once a month. It's were missionaries from across the mission bring people that they are working with there. If that's less acives, recent converts, or investigators. Last nights was jam packed. There were probably 400 people there! And we had a flash mob singing called to serve it was pretty good. All the faces of people were priceless. I also got to catch up with people like Shuet Yee from Wrexham and some other members from there. And got to see Elder Kunzler my first companion. Me and him had a really long talk about life. THis week I really have been blessed. Thank you for all the prayers on my behalf. I know that I feel them and appreciate all the good role models I have in my life.

 

Love you,

 

Love Elder Hammond
