It's been a pretty uneventful week this week, sad to say. Tuesday was transfers, and Elder Casil and I are staying here in Moe. Monday was interesting because we spent all day getting to and from the doctor in Moorabbin, because since we're limited on the amount of kilometers we're allowed to drive we had to incorporate the train and bus systems into our travel, which have been dodgy for the past few months.  Tuesday and Wednesday were DEATHLY boring because we stayed inside all day long, and all day those days Elder Casil just napped. I hate naps because they just throw off my sleeping during the night, so I was awake by myself with absolutely nothing to do. I kept asking Elder Casil if he wanted to play any games that we had in the flatt, but he just wanted to nap all day. To keep it blunt it sucked.

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.
