Dear, Family
 Wow this week has been one of the most nerve racking weeks of my mission. So this week we had a mission tour by President Pearson of the Presidency of the Seventy! What a powerful servant of the Lord. He talked a lot about things that stop us from growing. In our lives we are going to face challenges and trails and these things are frontiers to our faith. Whatever they are We can have faith but we can also have doubts, discouragement, and distractions, These things they stop us from changing and becoming like our heavenly father. So we can have Faith but if you are filled with these D words they stop us and hinder our progression. The only way we are able to move on from these D's is by letting them go. It's through the Atonement of Christ that this is possible. It's not just the saviors part and the Atonement fixes everything. It take everything on our part to overcome, remove, or change in order to break through these frontiers of faith. Something I've been doing and praying about is to overcome the very barriers and frontiers that are stopping me. I feel with my new area I will have to make changes I have to become better than I've been and this is something I want to accomplish. I got transferred to Toowoomba it's in the mountains it's west of Brisbane so it's in land. I love my Savior Jesus Christ he is the lord and master he is our exemplar and I pray and do what I can to follow his example. Stay close to Heavenly Father as we learn of our Savior we will come to know our Father in Heaven.

Dear, Family
 This week has been really slow. Not much happened it just seemed like a really boring  and unproductive week. So Monday we went to Childers which was in the other missionaries area and we blitzed it with them. because they don't get out there like ever so because it's an hour drive away so they visited members and we found all day except for a dinner appointment with our ward mission leader out there then we drove home. Then just this Friday we worked out in Bagara and that was fun in a way we have been doing these challenges with the zone and the challenge was to mention or bring up the word mayonnaise 10 times during our finding. and we completed that which was alright kind of fun to look for ways to bring that in and have some fun. Then we visited with a less actives non member husband and he let us hold his bearded dragons which was really awesome! Also on that day it seemed like there was just going to be a storm so it was cold and the sky and ocean were like a dark blue it was really pretty. Other than that all we did was find. So yeah my faith to find has been really tested these last few weeks. My studies have been good Been studying the doctrine of Jesus being Jehovah so when JW try to bash I'm not confounded at the door. I love the scriptures if we would but just look and diligently search them the mysteries of god will be revealed to us and the spirit of understand will help us to comprehend the very things we need to know. I love This work it can be hard at times but as I look back even just yesterday the good always out weighs the bad. I know this church and gospel are true. It is by the correct priesthood ordinariness that are preformed within the church and it's holy temples that we will have the chance to gain exultation. I love and miss all of you and hope you have a good week!
