Thursday was fun because since I wasn't allowed to drive we
had to use the train and bus from Moe to Clayton, then the bus from there to the doctors
appointment. Things just went wrong with the train systems, so even though we
had left our flatt at about 7:30AM to get to our 11:30AM doctors appointment,
we didn't get there until about 1:00PM. Long day on the public transport and
trying to figure out the bus schedules and where to go! And then we didn't end
up getting home until about 5:00PM.

Saturday we went on exchanges with the District Leader, Elder Johnson, and
luckily for me I was able to go with the District Leader. We had a great time
working and we had some pretty funny experiences, like some dude just opening
the door with a really expensive looking accordion in his hands and told us
"Tell me this: did Adam and Eve go to heaven!?". Like what!? First
things first buddy, why did you bring an accordion to the front door? But yeah,
interesting.
I also got a haircut from Maddy Pollard, who's a member who owns
a hair salon not too far from us. I
had to get it on Saturday because she
doesn't work on Monday and on Wednesday we have a HUGE Zone Conference thingy
going on where one of the Seventy are supposed to be there. It's called a Mission
Tour, and I'm still not too sure what it is. But all I know is that it's
important.
I can feel Elder Casil beginning to distance himself from me
further and further, and I'm not really sure why. A lot of missionaries who
aren't from America do not like American companions, and nobody is really sure why. Of
course, not every foreign missionary is like that, but a lot of them hold
resentment towards Americans for some reason. But yeah, Elder Casil barely even
speaks to me, and even though I try to get him to talk so we can have a good
conversation he's always so shut up towards me, but when it comes to being with
other missionaries he's the chattiest person in the world! It does frustrate
me, because when I try to talk to him on it he just says short phrases like "Don't
worry about it" and then resumes ignoring me. I try to incorporate him
into activities that we're participating in, but I feel he just does not like
me because he never talks to me! This week I've been doing a lot to get him to
open to me, but this week he's been the most shut out to me than ever. Not
really sure what to do, but I think all I can do right now is to endure it
because I don't see much change going on here in the nearby future. :(

That's my week, pretty uneventful. Although we did do
missionary work there wasn't much that came out of it. Hopefully this week is
better, but we'll just have to wait and see. Anyways love y'all's heaps, I'll
catch ya later mate, and as always God be with you till we meet again.
