Letters from April 18, 2008 (finally) :)

Dear Family
Transfers were just last week. My new companion is Elder Harrison from South Jordan. He has only been out 6 weeks longer than me. We are in the Dural Ward so I am staying in this area at least another transfer. Elder Harrison is senior companion, but I know the area. He was in Bathhurst before this & it is a country area, so being in the city is alot different for him. We got a new car, its an '08 Camry, too bad I cant drive. Only the senior companions can drive.
Well everything is going good in the area. We are still mostly in the finding stages. But we did have a lady at sacrament meeting last week. She didnt stay the whole time, but we went & visited her Wendesday & she didnt like how children were in the meeting. She looked on Wikipedia about some church history. Hopefully we can resolve her problems and start teaching her. Other than that there is not much going on here. It is starting to get chilly over here. Alot of the members are over in Utah now, so Sacrament Meeting attendance was heaps fewer than normal.
Well I think you are listening to Conference right about now. I hope you are enjoying it. I am watching it on reboradcast next week. It will be good.
We have dinner with Bishop Krok tonight so I better get ready. Bishop is awesome. Hey look up Matt Krok on the web. (thats his son) Good family, well gotta go
Love ya heaps

Thank you for that package with all the goodies & toys. Elder Brown has never had swedish fish so he enjoyed that. They dont have very good candy in Australia. Some stuff they dont have, that I miss is, Reeses, Swedish Fish, Tootsie Rolls, Yummy!! Thanks for sending Brent's letters they make me smile. It sounds like he is going to do good in Cape Verde.
Sis Scruggs brought over some homemade cinnamon rolls, (they dont have them in Australia) they were really really good. It made me miss yours, but yours are heaps better.
Can you send some more contacts for me. I am on my last pair after I got poked in the eye. I need more socks & garments, but I can buy them here. That is about all I need. I dont need Oreos or Top Ramen or anything. :)
Thanks, Love you heaps

(this little note was written last and makes me feel a little bad)
I found some writing paper in the flat and I also found some pens. Well I think something went wrong with the mail a couple weeks ago we got new office missionaries and I think they messed up bad. The past 3 days I have gotten 10 letters, but they were written ages back, like over a month ago. So please forgive me for not writing as much as you.
Thanks for all the letters though.
Elder Harrison & I are working hard & trying to find people that will listen to us.
Yea!! we get to watch GC. We get to go to all the sessions. I hope you like the paper and pens.
Love Elder Andreasen
