Hello everyone again, it's-a me, Alfredo! It's been a really busy week and I've been really tired the past few days, and I think it might just be a case of overexertion. Because I'm tired. Like really tired. And I don't get tired. Ever. But it has been one heck of a busy week let me tell you.

So Monday we had that meeting down in Maroondah where there were a few general authorities to come and talk to us, that was pretty cool. That Tuesday after I got done emailing all y'all's we went to go deliver a Book of Mormon to an old man named Ian because he had requested one but told us he wasn't interested in hearing the lessons. When we delivered the Book of Mormon he invited us inside and we shared the Restoration with him, and so we are going to meet up with him again sometime this week.

President and Sister Maxwell

We also had our Zone Conference this week as well, and knowing that President and Sister Maxwell will be headed out in just a few short weeks is a bit sad, but considering President Peter Vidmar and his past in the Olympic games as a gymnast is really cool to know, so I'm excited for him as well. Thursday and Friday were really busy days as well when it comes to doing different forms of missionary work, because we have been instructed to go through ALL of any form of previous investigators that have ever been taught, and that includes all the phone numbers previously saved in the phone, so we have been doing a lot of that this week. Almost everyone we have called or otherwise contacted aren't interested in meeting up again, but that's okay because we keep on diligently pushing along. Saturday we had a great ward activity, and even though nobody we invited came it was still a really good evening.

We have been working a lot with members as directed by the Area and Stake Presidency, and I think finally we are starting to get somewhere. We have a LOT of member teaching lessons this week, and I think that shows they have a lot of trust in Elder Ching and I, especially since the last missionary that served here I heard wasn't the best (that tends to be my luck of the draw, me coming in to clean up some kind of mess). It's great though, because the members can see that we are working our tails off to get somewhere, and I'm still convinced that some kind of massive changing blowout will happen sometime just around the corner! We are going on exchanges with the Zone Leaders tomorrow, and that'll be really good because they can teach Elder Ching and I a lot on how to find people who are prepared, especially through street contacting because that's all they've done on their missions. I'm excited for that. It should be another really quick and tiring week, but the more I look at it, ALL of the weeks on my mission have been that way! It's tough, but I sure as heck love what I'm doing!

(I got all the questions on the Book of Mormon right. 

Woohoo! Geography and history I bombed though...)

It's not a long email today, but that's all good I guess because there really isn't much to talk about! Love you all, love you all long time, keep safe and keep doing what you're doing, and as always, God be with you till we meet again.
