Cremation?

More door knocking experiences! We met this one older lady, who told us her stories of her travels around the world. We shared a bit about the Plan of Salvation, and asked her what her beliefs are about afterlife. She said that she wants to be cremated, because that is how your soul is released from your body... something like that. I think I'd rather be cremated then buried in a box too, but still deciding...

Also met this guy named Dan while door knocking, and after chatting to him for a bit, he let us share the Plan of Salvation with him too! We plan on going back this week to teach him a bit more, it's just always great to have the opportunity to teach people at the door.

We've also started teaching a nonmember that has been living with a very active family, and she's doing awesome! She's even told us that one of her goals is to serve a mission in the future, and she's not even baptised yet... you don't hear that from nonmembers very often.

What else have we been doing this week... well I couldn't continue on without my fix of lawn mowing. We got to mow this lawn that hadn't been mowed in a few months, and that was one of those things that was oddly satisfying to do. It was a long project, and pretty big, but I always love seeing the lawn go from overgrown to neatly cut. So that was fun.

It's also been the Commonwealth games! Didn't get to watch any of it though, but got to hear a lot about it! For all my Americans out there, it's a pretty long event, over a week long, kinda like the Olympics, but for all the countries under the commonwealth. Apparently New Zealand and Australia smashed most of the competition. And now it's done, so finally all the roads that were closed off for 2 weeks are opening back up again!

And lastly, we had a culture night for the Pimpama ward! It was to celebrate the ... 175th? Birthday of the Relief society program! So they put together a dinner thing for the ward! There were around 6 to 8 different tables, each presenting different cultural decorations and objects, and then heaps of food, from all the different cultures that were presented. Amongst all of it was Tongan, Samoan, Maori, South American, Asian, and European... I may have missed one or two. You don't usually get to eat Taro and Mexican food all at the same time.

Anyways, thank you all for your love and support!
