Week 23: December 17, 2019

Another really fast week in the 澳大利亚 布里斯班 mission! Nothing too interested happened except when me and elder Kong were door knocking. Elder Hohneke stayed at our flat that day because he was looking after an elder from the Papau New Guinea mission, because he broke his leg. So me and Elder Kong went and did missionary work without him.

But anyway, we were walking from door to door, and on the way I saw a guy in a Jazz Jersey so I got super excited so I started talking to him, but when I got closer, I could smell the wine very strongly on his breath haha. But we talked about the jazz for a little bit, until he started talking really really deep church doctrine with me haha. He got into some anti church stuff and was just trying to tear me down and catch me off guard. Fortunately, I for real had the Holy Ghost on my side, otherwise I would've gotten beat real bad. Then he started ripping on Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon, but I was able to testify of their importance and as I was doing so I could feel the spirit so strong, and he stopped trying to fight with me on my beliefs, and I was able to give him a Book of Mormon pass along card. It just made me realize how important the Gift of the Holy Ghost is. I didn't do any of that testifying, but I know that he felt the spirit and that's what stopped him from continuing to bible bash me. So that was a little fun experience I had! Also Monday this week hit a solid 41 degrees Celsius, which is about 108 degrees Fahrenheit. It's starting to get really really hot here and so humid, but hey it's better than -20 and 2 feet of snow right?? 

Have a good week everyone!
