Unusual Size and Persistence

I'd say the biggest take away of this week has been that bugs are the worst thing ever created. They are of unusual size and persistence here. The flies, man I will invent something to irradicate them. The heat has been fun. It is getting so stinking hot and it is a dry-as heat. We are just trying to keep hydrated and motivated to keep biking. 
The Area has been lovely though, we meet people everyday that have good contact with the missionaries but are not interested. We are able to have good chats with everyone. I think it is funny the 20 somethings here play pranks on the missionaries but because of it we are able to hand out Books of Mormon and give them a little bit of the spirit as they giggle for actually talking to us. 
There is a big stigma that religion is bad. The Aussies and the aboriginals stay away from us for the most part but there is a big connection we are able to make with all the other cultures. I think that going into this Christmas season we will have more success. A lot of people here believe in a Heavenly Father and being saved so that is a plus. 
I have loved hearing from everyone. I think for the moment the mission is trying to humble me. If my mission resident had some words that could be said out to everyone is that we are all prideful little potlickers ha-ha. 
I am excited for Zone conference this week and exchanges this week. I'll keep you posted on the watch tan line ha-ha.
