The time here is flying by! It feels like the weeks have turned into days! Things right now are kind of crazy in the Australia Sydney Mission, but at least it keeps things interesting. hahaha As far as the work goes, it seems like its always two steps forward, one step back. A lot of the people we're working with took a step back this week, which was hard, but I'm just counting on the two steps forward that's coming in the future ;)
I'm at that point right now where it feels like I've been on my mission for my whole life, so the really cool spiritual experiences we have kind of blur together. We did have a baptismal interview this week for the other ward in our district! She's super prepared to join the church, but nervous about what her family will think because they're all really strong Catholics. One thing she said in our interview was that she feels like having a living prophet is so modern and trendy (maybe not in those words hahaha). She felt like the idea of having modern day prophets of god really attracts the younger generation because it's such a bold/real/applicable stance. It just made me stop and realize how cool and trendy this gospel really is! hahaha (really though)

To Mom and Dad: I joined in fasting with you yesterday, and I can't say that I have any insights. I'll support you whatever you decide.
Also Happy Father's Day to Dad! In Australia it's celebrated on the first Sunday in September (why? I'm not sure, but it happens to line up with rugby finals--not sure if that's a coincidence or if it's intentional)
We've got a fun P-day activity planned to go on a hike about an hour away by train, so I should have some better pictures next week! The church is true! Read Alma 40-42 this week. Those are some solid chapters.
