Happy New Year

Hello, Everybody

 This week has been really slow. It feels like we did nothing the Holiday make it so hard to work. So for Christmas eve, Christmas, and New years we have curfews we have to be in the flats by 5:30 pm. So yeah stinks sometimes you just don't know what to do. But yeah so nobody is home everyone has either gone away or do not want us around :) For Christmas we ate heaps of food! So a majority of the work we did was Knock...Knock...Knock It was good not really to many rude people, they just weren't happy or in a good mood that day or any day that matter #AussyLife. No it's good we did find some people who were interested. What were are really trying to do is build up our teaching pool with investigators so we've been going through former investigators and the door and trying our best to use members. Rock Hampton is great such a great town it's a bit beat up and warn down in some areas apparently when the Cyclone does hit it usually floods so most of the home are raised up. Right now we aren't teaching to many people that are progressing toward baptism very quickly. Working with a lot of part member families. This Saturday we might have a baptism but not to sure really weird kind of their is a 9 year old girl (Kisharana)  who is Cousins with the Watane Family who is baptizing their 8 year old daughter. and They are trying to rush the baptism of Kisharana because the family is over her from New Zealand. We weren't teaching her until about 3 days ago so we are rushing the lessons but hopefully everything works out. Just not the most ideal situation which I don't feel to comfortable with. Also talked to a Anti-Christ while door knocking most people don't want to argue so they either just yell or tell you to go away or polity decline. but anyway I can't remember how we started talking to him. But it was really cool it was almost like the account in the Book Of Mormon where Alma testifies to Korihor of the Divinity of God and Jesus Christ (with out the part where he's struck dumb). He just kept talking over us and wouldn't let us answer his questions. Then he told us "it's not true" and that was the manner of his speech. We then bore powerful testimony of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Walked away feeling so good for defending the faith and staying true. Continue to build and protect the faith you have it is a gift of God! Cherish it! I love you all have a wonderful week!
