Really good week, lots of fun stuff happened. We started the week off by fishing
last p-day with our friend patrick,
so I got pretty burnt but it turned into a nice tan so it's all good! Got about 50 mosquito bites
so I'm still recovering from that ha. When we were shopping too I found some a&w rootbeer,
which is the best because Australia doesn't have rootbeer so I introduced my companion to it,
I miss rootbeer and all the flavors of mtn dew so bad, shout out to the dew pong gang though!
I got a chinese name as well, Elder Lin gave me a pretty sick one. I'm trying to find him an
english name but hes pretty picky so send me some cool english names Haha. My name is
高毅翔. (Gāo yìxiáng) finally, the best part of the week. Something really big that happens in
bundaberg is every year around january to March baby turtles hatch on the beach and people
from ALL around the world come around to see it. So I asked our mission president if it was ok
to go see and he said yes! Coolest night ever, so awesome. Literally hundreds of baby turtles
hatching and running into the ocean. Super cool but unfortunately we weren't allowed to
take pictures for most of the time because it distracts the turtles. So sorry you'll just have to come
see it in person hahaha. Without a doubt the coolest thing I've seen in australia. Because of that
I've decided to join the campaign "save the turtles" and along with reading the scriptures and
praying everyday i also want to invite you all to stop using plastic straws and stop buying
unnecessary plastic items, save the environment and recycle :)

Other than that, the missionary work has been slowly picking up here and we are finding
new people who are potentially interested! We have a friend we are teaching on baptismal
date in April, the only problem is it's about a 2 and a half hour drive to her house hahaha.
Oh and she's not very good at answering her phone so we ended up dropping 300 kilometers
the other day to go to her house when she wasnt home (we only get about 2400 kilometers
a month so its really rough sometimes). But hopefully we will be able to work more with her!

Also just something funny, I got an email from mark yesterday (screenshot included down below)
asking for some photogenic pictures of my name tag in cool places in australia so he can use them
as well, perks of having the same last name I guess. I'll let you all try and find out which ones I took
and which one he took ;)
