No I have not died. The library has been closed for 2 P-days in a row. And......Transfers......me and Sister White are now.....
Still in Geelong.
Yes, nothing has changed. I see everyday that we have so much more work to do here in Geelong! We are talking to more people than ever and working with many of the less-actives in the area. I think the work is going much better with them than with finding more people. However, we continue to see miracles in this area everyday that we are out. :)
We have been doing service for one sister in the ward and had been getting her rides to church because she does not have a license.
This last week while we were doing service her husband (who is a little anti) said that he would take her to church on Sunday and that we did not have to find a ride for her. We were not sure if he was simply trying to get us to stop finding rides but we decided to have faith that it would work. Sunday came. And there she was!!! I think she knows that we truly care for her and she wants to start coming back to church. We are continuing to work with her and show her how much we care. It really is true that we love people into the Gospel :)
This Sunday was actually quite amazing. Heaps of less-actives came to church without us finding rides for them (as is usually the case). It is so good to have other members in the ward actively reaching out to these people and helping them be where they need to. They are such a blessing to the missionary effort.
To share a quick fun story-Last P-day was really fun. They have an open range zoo in Werribee and the weather was (as my mom would say) "Africa Hot." It was about 44 degrees C at the peak. Which honestly felt kinda nice. The weather here cannot make up it's mind to be hot or cold. But I digress. We had a zone P-day at the Werribee Zoo and it was super fun. They have a bus you can ride on out around the animals so you can see them. I will include pictures when I remember to....
Side note: Before we left for the zoo we ran to the store to get some lunch foods. We were in the car and Elder Hart saw someone who was broken down, right down the street from the flat. He immediately called the Elders at the flat so they could go help the guy move his car. I thought about this and remembered a quote that "a missionary is the first to rush to the aid of others." This example of continual service to others has stayed with me. I want to be that missionary that rushes to the aid of others and I am so grateful for the wonderful example of those around me.
