G'day from down unda!

Okay, so last week I got shocked by a cattle fence. We were doing service at this guy's house and I was emptying his lawn mower over the fence. I didn't know it was electric, so I leaned on it and I got a massive shock to the rib cage. It felt like someone was punching me. It hurt really bad, but I'm all goods.

We had a ward activity for Australia Day on Monday. I went fishing with all the little kids and I caught one.

It was the only one we caught - probably because we were using sausages for bait.

I kissed it as per the OZ culture and threw it back.

We had said a prayer that we would catch a fish with all the little kids and promised we would send it back if we caught it. Dang I love little kids so much! I love teaching them and spending time with them so much. They really are so close to heaven, They have so much joy and happiness in them. I can't wait to be a dad and have kids of my own.

I'm starting to get a sick accent! Not really though. I can turn it on now and it is more like a Kiwi accent, but it's slowly coming along. This week was pretty sick ay. We went to this less active lady's house. Her name is Marlane. She got an Ipad a few months ago and is playing all these crazy games on it, but she was having trouble with her email. She was getting all these dirty emails from a male enhancement company so she had us try to get them to stop. We tried to just send them to the spam folder, but the company is using like 30 different email addresses to send them. We are gonna go over again this week and try to figure it out. Marlane is really cool. She is great at fishing, which is like my new favorite thing. She has a pretty cute dog too. There was a MASSIVE thunder storm when we were at her house. I tried to film it but I didn't get any lightning.

It is so cool that the Bergerons received their endowments! It is so good to see them stay so active in the church. There are so many more less active members than I ever realized there were! It is a little frustrating.

Church was pretty good. First, there was the really old guy in High Priests that was visiting. He was SO crazy! He was really weird and had to comment on EVERYTHING. I also noticed that High Priests make a lot of jokes about them dying soon.  We had two investigators there, Neil and Eva Betts. Neil stayed for all three hours, has been keeping all his commitments, and had friends all throughout church. He seemed golden, but after church, I went to set up another appointment. He said he didn't want us to come back. It hurt, but its all right. That is what happens in missionary work.  Eva came out of the blue. She has never come to church and we didn't expect her to, but she did. So, now she is that much closer to baptism.

In Gospel Principles on Sunday, Brother Renfreys was all, "When I meet Judas... him and me are gonna have words." Ha ha, he is the one from Tasmania that wrestled a shark. Anyway... another funny thing that happened was in priesthood, we do a weekly scripture thought. The Elders Quorum president did it this week and then asked a Deacon in the branch to do the next one. He goes, "Who me? Aw dammit!" It's funny because the only ones who think that dammit is a bad word are me and Elder Cram, so we started busting up laughing and no one understood why. Good times.

I love you all so much!
Elder Jamison
