Wow, 8 months down and 1/3 of the way through my mission. Honestly really weird to think about that lol. Also s/o to my boy Christian for getting his mission call to ___ (it's a secret).
I got the hardest rejection of my life this week, we door knocked a door and this lady opened looking kind of friendly, and that look turned extremely angry, and then she slammed the door SUPER HARD in our face. Idk why that one hurt the most cuz its happened a couple times lol, but anyway I immediately remembered a talk by Elder Holland called Feed my Sheep, where a missionary has that happen to him and knocks the door again and baptized the person, but I was too scared so I left a kind note for her haha. Honestly though that hurt more than any rejection I've ever gotten in my life- more than the friend zone and being ghosted if you know what I mean.
This week I had some weird meals haha, not too many dinner appointments and we are both trash cooks so heres some examples of food we've made: highlights of food this week: curry, tacos, butter chicken, ramen, pancakes and craft mac n cheese, corned beef and baked beans, more ramen, some weird as quesadillas lol, more ramen, more canned corned beef and potatoes, and lastly, more ramen. Welcome to the mission life 
. however, 救恩 s/o elder seves relatives for coming in big time with heaps of food. Now we just need toilet paper because all the stores here are selling out on toilet paper VERY fast haha.
On a more serious note it's been a crazy week because we got a new Bishop! And he is SUPER keen on missionary work, he called us over the night he got set apart and he gave us a lot of stuff he wants us to do. I guess this next week is gonna be pretty productive haha.
Highlight of the week was when we were door-knocking though. We saw a lady mowing the lawn so we went and helped her, and she was sooo confused why 2 guys in church clothes wanted to mow her lawn. But we did and turns out she is very interested in what we believe in. Hoping some good will come out of it because our teaching pool is still a little dry from the sisters.
on an unfortunate note though, me and elder seve got a call on monday from an unknown caller. A lady started speaking Chinese and told us that I owe the chinese government heaps of money and if I dont pay them back then I will get thrown in jail or something. So if you all could please help me out it would be appreciated. My venmo is mattensign4 and if you want to send me packages of relief the address is
7/146 Racecourse Road
Hamilton, QLD 4007
Hopefully I can get through this.
