No, I can't hug!

Talofa Lava!

'Ou te fa'afetai atu mo lenei avanoa e tusi nei tusi. E iai se vaiaso lelei i'inei!

It has been a great week! Honestly, I can already feel that I am going to enjoy this transfer thoroughly (the right way!).

Last P-day, I mentioned I was going to be up in Sydney. I stayed in Mortdale zone, and after emails and whatnot, because heaps of the trainers were staying in Mortdale, we had a massive touch rugby game, like 9-on-9 which was awesome! So much fun. Most of em were Americans, so this particular Fijian Elder (Tuitubou) and I took advantage of that by using some plays designed to beat a disorganized team. Haha that was so fun!

Make sure to stay busy, but don't be busy doing nothing

That evening, like last time, we had a trainers dinner/meeting at the mission home, which was really good! It was cool to catch up with Pres and Sis Back, as well as some other missionaries in the mission. Some of the things that I learned from the meeting were to make sure to stay busy, but don't be busy doing nothing. Or in other words, be effective. Also, to help my new companion, think back to how I felt as a new and inexperienced missionary, and go from there. That evening, Pres pulled me aside and asked me and Elder Janes to assist with picking up missionaries from the airport, which was a rare opportunity that I have never heard of happening before (where trainers are asked to assist). Normally, it's just Pres and Sis Back, and the AP's that go. And he chose us over 20+ other trainers! What a privilege! It was fun to see all of the greenies come down the aisle, and to be able to greet them as basically the first person they meet in Australia. And to get to drive the mission van around again, like the good 'ol Bankstown days was awesome!

Meet Elder Hayward

I got to meet Elder Cocker's cousin (well, "kiwi cousin", meaning really good mate), an Elder Harvey from Auckland. He is the man! He was one of the brand new missionaries that I got to meet. There were quite a few Americans. I also got to talk with a Samoan guy fresh from Samoa. It was hilarious because we were conversing in Samoan basically the whole time, and every time I would say something he would just crack up laughing, because he thought it was the funniest thing hearing me speak coherent sentences! hahahahaha

So, I got my new companion. He. Is. Awesome!! Straight from the MTC, his name is Elder Hayward! He is serving from Sandy, Utah (like 3 min. down the road from the Back's). He is tall, same height as me, played basketball for his high school, and is such a good guy! He is such a well-prepared missionary! Honestly, one of the most well prepared new missionaries I have met! Elder Hayward paid the price before the mission by studying and learning the gospel, and as a result of his preparation he will be a great leader in the future. He teaches powerfully. His confidence in teaching and his reliance on the Lord are very impressive for one so young in the mission. He is a great companion, easy to get along with, always good for a laugh, and overall just a great guy!

No, I can't hug!

Okay, so some laughing moments. M_ (investigator) and I managed to convince Elder Hayward that there are vicious drop-bears that attack you without warning, so you have to watch out when you walk under eucalyptus trees. Another funny moment was hearing people comment on how american my comp sounds. It's pretty funny.

The third funny was when we were teaching our Filipina investigator H_. As you know, she is like a 60 year old woman, so kind to us, so the first full day in the field, Elder Hayward and I went to teach her. We had a great lesson, teaching about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She accepted the invitation to come to church, said she will continue to think about baptism. She made us some nice Filipino food, some sort of stir fry stuff, and also baked us muffins! As we stood up to leave, H_ (who clearly forgot we don't hug) approached Elder Hayward with arms spread wide, just waiting for a hug, she approached and was probably about one foot away from E. Hayward before he realized what was going on and freaaaaaaaaked out, jumping up, and his arms flew towards his face to brace himself as he blurted out quickly "No, I can't hug!" Hahahahahhaha I couldn't burst out laughing because we were in her home, but I had a good laugh in the car!! Hahaha!

A baptismal date

Favorite teaching moment was with V_. We just had a simple lesson where we introduced lds.org to him. He has been coming to church regularly now, so we decided to set a baptismal date once again with him. He is so ready! He has been taught everything necessary to be prepared for baptism. He accepted the 12th of September as a baptismal date and asked if I could baptize him! How neat! That will be really cool! The ward is happy for his baptism, and after it was announced, many members took initiative to congratulate him and help him feel welcome. How exciting! I think it is really neat to see the difference between when I first began to teach him and now. Before he would struggle to commit to attending church, but as we encouraged him continually, taught the doctrine, and enlisted the help of the members of the ward, he has committed to live that particular commandment and to endure to the end after his baptism!! Woohoo!

Big news with M_

Big news with M_ (investigator); he is moving to Campbelltown in 4 weeks. He feels that he has been guided to this particular path, and has decided that he wants to be baptized in the ward he will move to. I think that will be good for him, because that way the ward will know for certain that he is a new member, and will be involved in helping him continue to grow in the gospel. It is a bit sad that I won't be able to see his baptism, but we agree that that is probably what is best under the given circumstances.

Zone leader confusion

The weirdest thing that happened this week is that I may be a zone leader? But I don't know. There is a story behind the confusion. So, Elder Canizales (one of our zone leaders) was called midweek to be an assistant, so they did a few emergency transfers for that. Okay great. That's fine and dandy. We all assumed that his replacement was going to be a zone leader as well. But apparently not. The one person that talked to pres (Canizales' last comp) lied about being the zone leader as a joke, took numbers and everything, then told Elder Janes that he lied, and laughed about it. So Elder Janes called the AP's, and because he apparently thought that I was in on this joke, and that I was called by Pres Back, they had a conversation and it was somehow brought up that I was a zone leader, which the AP's didn't deny? Ahhh..... We are all confused. Not that it matters that much, but I just want to know whether I should prepare a training for this week or not. I'll let you know next week, at any rate!

Okay, anyways! I gotta go now! I love you all so much!

Alofa atu!

Sad to see my firstborn son in the wilderness go

Hey y'all!

It has been a crazy week, with transfers and whatnot! What an emotional roller coaster!

Monday, we had a district P-day, at another beautiful place, called Minamurra falls! I didn't get too many good photos, because my camera decided to play up, but it's okay. :) I'll send what I have home.

Weird stuff happened this week

I had a trade-off with one of my Zone Leaders, Elder Janes (the one that I am really good mates with). That was heaps of fun. We worked in Dapto ward boundaries, and had the opportunity to go around and see a couple of the people that I knew and was close with when I was there. We saw K_, which was cool! It was also good to have a chance to teach and further improve teaching skills. I think that I have taken for granted the opportunity that I get to teach the Gospel, and the Divine Authorization to do so. I will definitely bear that in mind this week, that it won't last forever.

Lots of weird stuff happened this week. For example, a couple days after our scheduled trade-off, we had to do another trade off with the same companionship, because one of them was sick, and couldn't go to their appointment. We came down, and I stayed with the sick missionary to give my trainee a chance to teach. Elder Kerr has really grown since I have been with him. My goal for him was for his testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel to grow, so that he can go out and preach more powerfully. It has been really amazing to spend the transfer with him and have my own testimony grow just seeing his faith. What a great guy. He has become more confident in his teaching. He teaches simply and powerfully. What a great trainee!

We made something called Lu Sipe

Other highlights; we met up with M_ our investigator this week on Thursday night to prepare for our Tongan class. We wanted to practice making Tongan food so that we would be better prepared for Saturday. We made something called Lu Sipe with M_, and it actually turned out really nice! I really enjoyed it! It was good, because we were cooking in the home of a member, and had to leave to go to MCM (Missionary Coordination Meeting) for an hour while the food cooked, so M_ stayed back with the member, and continued to develop a friendship with him. M_ is the man! We ended up teaching him on Saturday, but we didn't have a whole lot of time to talk because we had to shoot off to go to class. Thanks for your prayers on ours and his behalf!

In regards to the Chilean family, yes, we are still seeing them every week. The relationship is there, there is just little opportunity to teach and share messages with them. We are working on that. They are so good! Such great people! According to the Doctrine and Covenants, they really are prepared for the Gospel, and to embrace it again. D&C 35:12 says "And there are none that doeth good except those who are ready to receive the fulness of my gospel, which I have sent forth unto this generation." Because of the good that they do, they are ready to receive the fulness of the Lord's gospel. That applies to everyone! So keep your eyes open:).

Sad to see my firstborn son in the wilderness go

Okay, so apparently some of you got inside info on transfers. Let me fill you in on everything else. So, as you heard, I am staying in Wollongong. Woohoo! I am so happy about that! It is a bittersweet transfer, because Elder Kerr got transferred out. I am training again, but am sad to see my firstborn son in the wilderness go. :( He needed to go to the Spanish ward, so I am happy for him that he is there. He is with a missionary who has also been out for only 6 weeks, so I am sure that he will grow quite a bit over the course of his stay there in the Spanish ward. I know that I won't be training another Spanish speaker. I already asked President. Maybe a Samoan? That would be sweeeeeet! Who knows? But anyways, I am currently with Elder Janes, who is also training, and we are in Bankstown with some of our missionary mates, including Elder Thomas? You may remember him from Dapto days. He was Elder Anderson's companion. He also served in Campbelltown at the same time I did. So it was fun! He is the man. (BTW, he just told me that if we go to NZ we need to go to a place south of Hawks Bay called Mahia.... Just so you know).

Also, my district has changed. I am still serving as a district leader, but unfortunately the districts have split so I don't get to go and do trade-offs in Dapto and Mittagong anymore. In fact, I only get to go on trade-offs with the Zone Leaders. I don't mind, whatever the Lord has for me! But it was fun to be able to associate with other elders and sisters every week!

Anyways, thanks for all of the prayers and the love! Hope you all have a great week!

Alofa atu!

Clearing up or adding to our confusion

Hey guys!

It has been a long week, but it has been fun!

Some of the highlights of the week: I had a trade-off with a young missionary in my district on wednesday. His name is Elder Murphy. He is the man!  He is currently serving in the Mittagong branch (where Elder Anderson and I went on a trade off together over a year ago). He is serving from England, and has been in the mission for almost 4 1/2 months. He is very well prepared, and I was impressed by his confidence and teaching abilities. We also had a good time one with another. En route to various destinations we stopped at one place in his area called Fitzroy Falls. I will send some pics, because it was beautiful! We met a few people while we were up there, and had an enjoyable time both sharing the gospel and appreciating God's wonderful creations!

Fitzroy Falls!

God does indeed direct us

As usual, on Friday I gave a training, and this week I genuinely felt that my choice of topic was inspired of God, which was big for me. Other trainings in the past I have felt of course guidance while preparing, but this was different. From the get-go, I had some confusion as to what to train on. I had two battling topics in my head, and felt a bit torn in two. One topic was to train on the Book of Mormon as a tool in missionary work. Logically, that made sense to me that it would be useful for the members of my district. But something kept nagging in the back of my mind. While considering the needs of the members of the district, I had a subtle feeling that I should train about companionships, more specifically about specific ways to teach in a united manner. I knelt down and prayed for guidance. And I had a profound experience that I rarely get, where I clearly recognize an answer from God. Doctrine and Covenants 9:7-9  describes very well how I received inspiration.
7 Behold, you have not understood; you have supposed that I would give it unto you, when you took no thought save it was to ask me.
8 But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right.
9 But if it be not right you shall have no such feelings, but you shall have a stupor of thought that shall cause you to forget the thing which is wrong; therefore, you cannot write that which is sacred save it be given you from me.
I did actually have a stupor of thought when I thought about training about my original topic, and I did actually feel a burning in my bosom when I prayed about the second. I guess the reason I wanted to share this with you all was to be able to testify that God does indeed direct us in our various stewardships on how we should act. This applies to parenting, church leadership, the workplace, and any number of other settings. God will answer and lead you if you turn to him. I know this is true.

Clearing up, or adding to, our confusion

We had more contact with J_ and M_. It was kinda weird to be honest. They had loaned us the movie "The Prince of Egypt" and were so happy for us to have a chance to watch it. We tried to explain that we wouldn't be able to watch it, but I don't think they fully understood. So we just took it and put it in the flat, to return at our next appointment. That Sunday, they sent us the text. We were quite unsure what that meant. Did they not want us to come over any more? Were we meant to keep visiting, in their eyes?

To kind of clear up, or add to, our confusion, we got a text from J_ mid-week, saying "Hey, are you guys done with the movie?" Her nieces wanted to borrow them. We set up a time to drop by and give it back. She wanted to make sure M_ was home, which we assumed meant that they wanted us to come inside? Ugghhh. So confusing.

Then the appointed time came, and certain circumstances led us to believe that M_ was actually the one that wants to live the agnostic lifestyle. We are not sure, but there is still hope for them! Thanks for your prayers!!

On Saturday, we did indeed get to attend the Tongan class with M_. Firstly, though, we had a lesson about some commandments, specifically about our Spiritual CPR (Church/Sabbath Day, Daily Prayer, and Daily Reading). It was actually a great lesson! He has a greater resolve to live the gospel. We really need to just be bold and commit him to a baptismal date!! He is so ready for it!! Tongan class was fun, learned lots of great things. We rode with M_ on the way there, and on the way back, I needed to stop at some public toilets, and the nearest ones were on a beach, where Elder Kerr and I did a bit of exploring and took some fun pics! (see below)

They want us to teach their friend

Lastly, yesterday, we visited a less-active family, and they were so excited to report that they had a referral for us, and they want us to teach their friend (J_) in their home! The dad has such a strong testimony. His current relationship with his wife is what is holding them back most from participating more actively in the gospel, because the wife was offended some years back. But this may be a great opportunity for them to come back!! Who knows? The family name is U_, they are from Niue. I will let you know how it goes next week!!

That's pretty much my week at a glance! This week will be interesting. I wonder if I will figure out transfer details early, like I normally do. And I am curious as to the changes that will happen over the course of this coming transfer. It will be quite interesting. I guess on Tuesday, you will know well enough!

Ezra: I have been through too many transfers to count!! A long time, huh? It has seemed really fast for me!

Love you all heaps!

I love every minute of serving the Lord!!

Hi guys!

My week was full of ups and downs!

Our hearts both sank when we read the message

So, firstly, a bit of an update on J_ and M_. We went and taught them the Plan of Salvation this week. J_ prepared us a mean physical feed, and then we delivered a mean spiritual feed. They had some wonderful questions, and the Spirit was definitely present. We were all edified, and we are confident that they are feeling more and more that our message is true.

That was what we felt until last night. We had previously invited them to church, and they said they would try and make it. When they didn't make it to church, we texted them and just checked up on things. We got a reply back that they really enjoy our company and stuff, but they are happy living an agnostic life style, and don't want to join our church. Our hearts both sank when Elder Kerr and I read the message. Oh well! To gather the elect we'll go!! I have been fairly lucky on my mission to not have been dropped by heaps of investigators, mainly just rejected on the outset. But it's okay. These things are for experience and help me to grow!

Young and so innocent

There was some excitement in Dapto ward this week! There is a Maori part-member family that had 3 kids get baptized. One of my responsibilities as a district leader is to interview the baptismal candidates of those in my district, so I got to go down and do a power trade-off with Elder Janes to do the interview. There was an 8 year old, 9 year old, and 12 year old that got baptized. These three sisters are the sweetest little things I have ever met! So innocent, and excited for their baptisms! I learned a lot from their absolute trust in their parents, and in the missionaries. They asked some really cute questions during the interview. For example, one asked "But what happens to those people that don't get baptized? Why do I get to do it and they don't? Isn't that not fair?" I reassured her of the Love of God, that He loves all of His children, and provides an opportunity for all to embrace the gospel, in this life or the next. The response brought so much relief. I wish I could be that young again, and so innocent! With such pure desires to do good, and be obedient, and so much love and concern for everyone else in the world!

Due to that experience, and other experiences, I was inspired to study about becoming like a child. I found some neat verses in the scriptures to supplement my studies. Without going out of my way, in my normal Book of Mormon reading I read 3 Nephi 9:22 "Therefore, whoso repenteth and cometh unto me as a little child, him will I receive, for of such is the kingdom of God. Behold, for such I have laid down my life, and have taken it up again; therefore repent, and come unto me ye ends of the earth, and be saved." Jesus Christ died for us, so that we can all become innocent and pure, as a child. Further instruction on the process of becoming like a child is found in Mosiah 3:19 "For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father." Those were the things that I saw in those young girls. They had yielded to the enticings of the Holy Spirit. They came before the Lord (his representative) so submissively, meekly, and all of the attributes taught about in these verses. It is laid before us. We must hearken to the Spirit, and rely on the Atonement to help change our nature and refine us, so that we can be as these little children the Savior so often speaks of. Additional light came from studying 1 Pet. 2:1-3, and Matt. 18:3-4.

Members, find opportunities to get the missionaries around your friends in a casual way!

Saturday morning, we got a call from our ward mission leader with a special request. He asked us to come along and help him do some service, so that we could meet his friend he wanted us to start working with. We showed up at the designated location (a house owned by a friend of Matt H. that no one lives in and needed cleaning etc.) and there we met a super cool guy named A_. He is the man! Matt and A_ have been friends for a number of years, since they worked together for a short period of time. We had a good time working together, having a few laughs and getting to know A_ better. What was really neat was how A_ began to ask questions about the church, simply because we were present. he asked some awesome questions, and all three of us gave some awesome answers. A_ was comfortable speaking with us because we met him with the mutual relationship of Matt. If we would have knocked on his door, he probably would have slammed it. But the member doing the inviting, and most of the teaching in such a casual way really opened A_ up so that he could ask some sincere, soul-searching questions! We hope to be able to work more with him in the future. Moral of the story; Members, find opportunities to get the missionaries around your friends in a casual way! That will help the church come up very casually and comfortably in conversation, and opportunities to teach that would have otherwise been passed, will arise!

Mission Conference with Brad Wilcox

The climax of our week was a mission conference with Brad Wilcox, who came to Sydney for a time out for women thingy. He is the man!!!!! He taught us the doctrine of us being in the latter days and having a "Birthright", with which comes added responsibility, which eventually led to us being on missions. He was accompanied by Sandra Telixytyuiyu or something, a gal that sang on Broadway, and her husband who both shared wonderful thoughts. Sandra Teloiuweryiouw sang us a couple musical items, which were beautiful! (parent note: we think this must be Sandra Turley)  It was soooo cool to be there, and I got the added treat of seeing some missionaries who are going home this week. Elder Anderson for example. And Elder Naidu. I caught up with Elder Tuua. I miss those guys! Not to mention about a quarter of Campbelltown 3rd ward, because the conference was at that chapel, right after they finished their meeting.

Elder Anderson and Larsen - farewell Elder Anderson

I love every minute of serving the Lord!!

So yes. A long week. Lots happened. But I love every minute of serving the Lord!! It is amazing! It is exhausting. It is the best thing that I have ever done for my life.

Hey Ez! Get better, okay buddy? I don't like when my bro is sick! I think there are yoyos in Australia, but I am not sure!

Hi JJ! Well, in my mission, there are.....6+6+7+9+5+3+5 wards/branches. Pretty sure I didn't miss any!

Everyone is growing up! Good to hear you are all alive and whatnot!

Love you guys heaps!!

What would my missionary self think of me today?

G'day!

Sounds like it has been quite a hectic week for all involved!!

My week was another great one!

Lots to write about, lots of wonderful experiences to record! We had a trade-off this week with the Elders in Mittagong branch. I went with an Elder Madsa, from the Philippines. He is the man! He has a neat conversion experience. Apparently he is the only member in his immediate family, and the rest of the family is Catholic. He was baptized when he was 13, and has developed and furthered his testimony since. I loved hearing some of the experiences he shared, testifying of how Heavenly Father helped to prepare him to serve a mission. And we had some great experiences while trading off together. Do you remember where I used to say trade-off's bring miracles? Well it still holds true today!

The Legendary Kangaroo selfie - is this legit?

Hahahahahhaa this is Elder Losa (Rose) the Elder that was in the other Samoan ward in Campbelltown
at the same time. He is the man!!! Hahahahahaha

I have found the Filipino community... are very welcoming and kind

We decided to go and visit some Filipino former investigators and potential investigators, to see if having Elder Madsa and his language ability would be in any way helpful. We visited a woman named Helen, and she turned out to be quite receptive! I have found the Filipino community, like the Islander community, are very welcoming and kind to religious teachers, missionaries, and other ministers, even if they are from a different denomination. Helen allowed us to come in and share with her a bit of our message, and she agreed to listen once more, this coming week. Neat stuff!

We also met a couple guys, one named W_, the other E_. W_ is Filipino, and E_ was raised in Australia, but has Fijian background. W_ was raised Catholic, and E_ Jehovah's Witness. They were super cool! Very open to us and happy to listen to our message, after which they invited us to come back on specific days next week to accommodate both schedules individually. Honestly, Australia is the best! There are so many individuals with so many diverse backgrounds! What a neat place to serve! And thanks be to God for the blessings (however small) that came as we were on our trade-off.

Now, my brain is even more confused!!

Interviews with President Back were this week. I always really enjoy the interviews, because President Back and Sister Back are the best!! It is just a neat experience to be around them, counsel with them about how I can help others to grow spiritually, and personally too. They are indeed quite knowledgeable when it comes to the Gospel, and also in-tune with the Spirit when it comes to responding to and asking inspired questions. Some hints for the upcoming transfer... President has yet to decide if he will keep me in Wollongong. He told me to not count out moving to a different area for some other curve-ball... I don't know. We shall see. I still have heaps of time before the transfer, so I don't have to worry about it!

Another fun aspect of our week; so M_, one of the guys that is investigating the Church at the moment, has a strong desire to learn Tongan, so he found a Tongan class up in Mortdale ward boundary, and asked us to join him. We got permission, and had our first class on Saturday. That was super fun! Hahaha it is a great way for us to be involved in the community, showing that we love the Tongan people. And now, my brain is even more confused!! :) yay! We are excited for other finding opportunities that will come from the class. And also for the amount of travel time we get to spend with M_!

Thank you David Potts for this pic of Elders Kerr and Larsen!

What would my missionary self think of me today?

Sunday overall was just a fantastic day! Fantastic testimonies shared in the meeting, fantastic spirit guiding us as we taught gospel principles, fantastic new individual who has been prepared for the gospel, fantastic building of relationships with members, who have referrals for us in the future. Just an overall great day! Honestly, that was one of the most powerful Sacrament meetings I have been to. M_ commented on it as well. We were all edified by the spirit greatly. A couple thoughts that stuck out to me were as follows: "What would my missionary self think of me today?" (or myself at my spiritual peak) That was said by one of the Bishopric members, after he shared how he gained a testimony of the Restoration while bearing testimony as a missionary. Another individual said "It is not necessary to understand everything, we just need to know enough."

She sat there, thinking about the question. Her eyes started to glaze.

After Church, we went and visited some of our less progressing investigators. One of them has a daughter who is super prepared for the gospel. She came to the door as we knocked, and informed us her mom was out of town, due to the death of a member in the family. I almost wanted to walk off then, and simply try again later, but something held me back. We continued to talk with the daughter, and she began to open up and tell us about some particularly harrowing challenges that she has been going through. We were able to testify of the redeeming nature of the Atonement, and of the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ in healing wounded souls. She invited us in, and we shared more. We gave her a Book of Mormon, shared how the book teaches purely and simply of Christ, gave a couple examples (Alma 7:10-11; Alma 36:3).

She told us how much her family means to her, especially her 2 year old son. We asked what it would mean to her to know that she could be with her son forever. And the Spirit kicked in powerfully! She sat there, thinking about the question. Her eyes started to glaze. She said "Sorry.... There's just been a lot on my mind, lately...." Then she excused herself for a moment, and came back, after composing herself. The words had sunk in. That was exactly what she wants and needs. She needs to feel the assurance that she can be with her family forever, that God lives and loves her. She was very grateful for our visit and we are excited for the future opportunities to meet with her!!

Quite a full week, that's for sure! Lots of appointments this coming week, and thank goodness for that! We are very excited for the work here, and how it is moving forward!

Love you guys heaps! Have a great week!
