G'day
Just to start off with a few answers to questions. Suzie was baptized this last weekend it was an awsome experience, to be able to see some one walk into church and 3 weeks later get baptized. Elder Vogel baptized her on saturday and I confirmed her on sunday, then later that day we drove down to the fireside with Elder Callister( his wife is frome Grace).
Her baptism dress is the same dress she wore for something kinda like a prom. 2 of the triplets live at home 1 boy 1 girl the other triplet is a girl and the older boy is in the navy in Darwin NT. Well things are going great here in toukley its not every week you have someone like Suzie walk in and want to be baptized and start helping us teach people. the other missionaries envy us now because miracles like that don't happen very often.
Today some other zone members are coming up to toukley chapel and we are going to play some basketball. most of the zone is american now it's kinda weird. usually there are some kiwi's or ausie's in a zone but not any more.
Well time is going really fast for me and i think its only been 8 months not 9? but anyway its seems to fly week by week. Alot of the contacting we do is cold the members don't help us find very often, we maybe get a couple refferals a month.
thanks for the pics of the kids i am going to have to send home my card soon there are some good pics and stuff on it.

Well gotta go love you heap!!
