Week 49

We get to Skype in a couple weeks woot woot! I am so sick of summer but going home in March is gonna suck. I'm gonna die. Weather here is worse haha. (hotter)I'm getting way tanned though. It's supposed to be beautiful in a couple weeks though. In the words of President: "Only the best go up North" It's pretty amazing up here. We also cover a small branch of 10 members called Ayr. So we plan on staying there for a week at some point this transfer. They haven't had missionaries visit in years. Today we are going with the Montagues and the sisters, to have a picnic on The Strand and then to go to Castle Hill. There is SO much to do here. Then we are kidnapping Elder Williamson for his birthday next P-Day and going to the Billabong sanctuary. Then hopefully in a couple weeks we will go to Ayr and baptize someone for the first time in 8 years. The thing is about up north is that we get to do different things than those down south. It's pretty awesome. Most stay here for 6 months. So we shall see what happens. President's email this week.... "I sent you and Williamson to break records and baptize".

Week 48 - Transfers (9/18)

So I don't really have heaps to say. On Saturday we were on a trade-off with Elder Livingston. Knowing that transfers were coming up we were working really hard to get everything we could done. Then all of the sudden I got a call from the Assistants to the President...they called to tell me I am flying up north to Townsville. So here I am. Up north, in the country, in a branch, just me and my companion...IT IS  AWESOME! I am super excited to be here. Very few missionaries get sent to the Northern Zone so I am one of the lucky ones. Things here are really different. It was also really weird to be on a plane. I didn't think I would have to go to the airport for at least another year. But here I am! I am pumped. My companion's name is Elder Jason Williamson and he is from Ripon, California. An American companion that is not from Utah. Amazing right? Townsville is a paradise. It right on the edge of the country and surrounded by islands and the Great Barrier Reef. There will be lots of photos. I will miss Camp Hill and the families there dearly, but I am glad to be out of the city. Townsville watch out, here I come! ITS HOT IN TOWNSVILLE AND REALLY HUMID. Only President's, in his words, "Best" go up North... so apparently I'm doing alright. Yayayaya Baptizing area!!
