Week 18

Dear Everyone

I have to be honest, this week hasn't been the greatest week. Our teaching pool got a little smaller as we had to drop some investigators because they were not progressing. We taught a number of first lessons this week, but none of those people wanted to meet again or were interested in learning more.

On the bright side, we get to find new people! We've been working hard to talk with people and not to people. We have met some crazy Aussies along the way, but it's all apart of the journey. We met a lady in the park in Brisbane and to our surprise she accepted our invitation and came to church! Hopefully she agrees to meet us this week and learn more.

We also met a guy named Simon. He just moved to Brisbane, and has nothing but probably his car. We taught him the Restoration and he really wants to learn more. The sad thing is, he has no phone that we can contact him with, so we are waiting for another miracle that we will find him again.

Elder Morris is my trainees name. He is still very golden and has a lot to learn. I've been trying to be the best example I can to him. He's a great Elder and is very eager to learn!

Our goal as a companionship is to get to know all the members in the ward. It is a long process, but it is great to be able to involve them in missionary work during splits. The members in the ward are really great. They are all really friendly and out going. 

The Mission life is great!

Love all of you!

Elder Westbrook
