Good Morning America!
Thanks for all the prayers and support!
It's fun to hear about everyone's week from all around the globe! Life in Australia has been pretty busy! I got a new companion last Tuesday named Elder Chinsoi. He's from Thailand and is learning English. Being with a language learning companion is honestly so fun and challenging. Elder Chinsoi is very inquisitive and likes to delve right into the subtle nuances of the English language. Earlier this week, I had to explain the difference between active and passive voice using a white board and an extremely limited vocabulary. That's definitely a skill that I never thought I would use on the mission! Hahaha
Last Thursday we had another Mission Conference (we've had so many I lose track). It was super spiritual. It was good to get to hear from President and Sister Runia. Sister Runia really brings the fire...she's really smart and President Runia really rounds out the relationship. It's so great to get to know and serve around them. One thing that they have encouraged us to do is called the "Big Three" (I'm still trying to work out why it's called that). What it consists of:
1. right when you wake up in the morning, write down 3 things you're grateful for
2. pray until you are happy
3. during the day, study everything you can about the Savior (President Nelson has a challenge to go through all the Topical Guide references to Jesus Christ)
4. before you go to bed, write down 1 experience where you saw God's hand/love in your life.
5. report to God on your day through prayer.
It's pretty simple, but it's a powerful habit if you can do it consistently. For those of you looking for a spiritual boost in your lives, I challenge you to commit to live the "Big Three"
