It has been a while since I have done an update about the
life here in Karratha. I am enjoying it; at least everything besides this heat
wave that swept in recently. It has been in the hundreds the whole time and I
am always so sweaty ha-ha.
We have been working our butts off contacting lately.
Between tracting and attending basketball games, we are doing what we can to
increase the teaching pool here. The Saints, as they are called, is the branch
basketball team and they just swept the finals this past week ha-ha. We have
been able to run into some kids that are keen at understanding why their
friends go to church. The problem now is just getting parental consent about
teaching them.
I have been doing a new study of the Book of Mormon. I am
into the beginning the chapters of Mosiah. I am using the Student Manual and it
is a wealth of knowledge and is helping me to learn a bunch about the
chronological and background facts. I enjoy marking up the scriptures.
Since last time I did a weekly, I have given a talk and a
priesthood lesson in the branch. They went alright I guess. We have been
focusing on Remembering the Sabbath with Elder Bednar’s talk about the promises
from 2017 October General Conference. If you want some cool stuff to listen to
church wise, I would recommend the BYU speeches; specifically from Elders Maxwell
or Holland.
I would say that the biggest thing for me lately has been diligence
and just keep plowing through the hard days. My companion and I are doing well
though, doing heaps of services and enjoying the time we have to be
missionaries.
I hope all is well. If I had some words of wisdom it would
be to always wear a hat and to shower regularly ha-ha.
