Hey howdy hey it's time for more of my story! A few big things have happened this week, but because a lot of those big things happened away from our missionary work. We went to the temple on Friday, and man I just love going to the temple! And also because Elder Casil's ankle is still crooked we haven't been able to do much missionary work. And he still very much enjoys his three hour siestas during the indoor periods of time. BUT we were able to go to Ian's twice this week, and one of them was with Ross Gilbert, probably one of the best fellow-shippers in the game! He was a huge help in teaching Ian, and not only was he such a big help but he took our challenge to invite him to church this Sunday, and on top of that he also invited Ian to dinner at his house next week on Monday along with us missionaries! Ian is doing really well, but he keeps forgetting to pray about what we have taught if it's true, and that's what will confirm for him the truthfulness of the message. But he keeps other commitments to read verses and parts of the Book of Mormon, and he is really looking for the truth. We'll just have to keep working with him in all that we do. Ozzi and Rawry are doing good too, and I bought a "Book of Mormon Stories" picture book at the mission office a few days ago, so we'll be relying on that to help them teach.

I think the cold weather is finally starting to set in, because on Friday we got stormed with heaps of wind and rain that went until Saturday night, and although it's sunny outside the temperature isn't rising or changing by the hour like it usually does. I think the ridiculously hot weather is finally over, but then again, I could be wrong. The weather has given us like four false alarms on winter within the past month or so, but I really think fall is finally upon us!

But last week P-Day we actually did something awesome! We went to this place called Phillip Island, which isn't in our District but we got permission to do it from the Zone Leaders. It was really cool because we got to go see pelicans being fed, we went to this awesome place called A-Maze-N-Things, went through a giant life size maze, played mini golf, went to some place called Cowes Pier, it was awesome. But since I'm still confined to using my glasses I had to wear them...

And like the clutz I am I ended up dropping them off the pier and into the ocean. I was pretty gutted about that because now I was blind, but luckily I was able to buy a second pair for only AUS$39.00, which is only about US$30.00. Pretty cheap for prescription glasses! Liam Winfield got one heck of a hilarious picture of my facial reaction when I dropped them into the water.

Pretty slow week in total, but Elder Casil's ankle is healing up nicely and is doing well, so we should be able to get back to track on working again this week. Love all-a-ya, have a great rest of the week, and as always, God be with you till we meet again.
