G’day family and friends. This week was pretty nuts! 

On Wednesday I went on exchanges with the Armadale Elders. I was with Elder Antonio. He is super funny. We helped a Malaysian family move from his ward into ours. We tracted for a few hours after that! It was fun! We were talking to a phillipino lady at the door, and she let us in, and so we started talking a bit about her religious background and she said that she was baptized a Mormon in the phillipines 30 years ago! What the heck!! Anywho, Then we talked to another Phillipino lady who was a born again. She cried as she told us her story, and it was good, but then she said, “you know I think the reason you came to my door was because you need to learn from me, not me from you.”love the born agains ;) Then we went to our ward trunk or treat party. It’s funny because I was at the same party last year! It was fun J

We decided to drop a few of our investigators this week. It was good because we had some cool miracles happen! We met an Indonesian lady while tracting that said that she really missed going to church. She said that she would come to church if she knew people. So we told her that we’d introduce her to some people! She also has an 8 year old son who her family from back home wants to be baptized, so we told her that we do baptisms, and her face just lit up! She told us that her son always asks these crazy doctrinal questions and she wants someone to answer them for her! (Adam and eve’s kids getting married… ;) )

We also got a call from Sister R who said that she has been working on a family for us to teach. She said that the dad of this family is really just searching for more spiritual enlightenment right now. Apparently he has been doing some simple things that Sister R has been inviting him to do, and has been having experiences! So she set up a dinner to be able to teach her friend’s whole family!!! Such a miracle. All of their beliefs are like parallel to ours as well. J

We also had a pretty crazy Saturday. We had a zone service project in a swamp. We all got pretty dirty. Elder Tua’itanu and I had another service project after that. Then we had to help out with a baptism. It was pretty rushed, but ended up being pretty decent. Then we had to rush to our chapel for our ward cultural night. Hhahahaha it was sooooo funny. I straight up joined the Samoan, phillipino, and Tahitian cultural dances. ( I was invited to be all 3) but since my dance moves don’t really go with any of the cultures, I probably looked pretty disrespectful. But luckily everyone in the ward knows me…. ;) But yeah it was pretty fun!

Ohhh!! One more thing, We got permission from President fife to go to Narrogin and Albany to do this member zone conference thing so we can “refresh” the members how to do member missionary work! Super excited!!! We are going to Albany branch on the 13^th. It is apparently the furthest church unit away from Salt lake in the world!

One thing I learned this week is about how much our intentions matter whenever we are talking about the gospel to someone else. If our intentions when we are talking to them are to just baptize them for the sake of baptizing them, they will be able to feel it. But if your intentions are to show them you love them, they can start the real conversion process. Everyone in my life that has been involved in my conversion process has helped me because I know they love me. I finally have realized that the only two things I need to worry about as a missionary is 1) having the spirit with me, and 2) Loving everyone I come into contact with. I’ve applied it this week and it made this week a lot different than anyother week I’ve had on my mission thus far J

also, we are going to be feeding a cat for the next 2 weeks, and we have to wake up at 5:30 to do it, so we can help this older man.  

Love you all, CTR! 

Love Elder Beeson
