ANZAC

So this past Tuesday we honored ANZAC day, which I believe stands for Australia New Zealand Army Corps. It's kinda like a memorial day and they hold a service at dawn, at about 5, and honor those who served in the army. It was a cool experience, and we got to hear bagpipes play, speeches given, and a choir sing. Just another cool historical moment in Australian history.

Anyways, this past week has been good! We had a baptism for Tyson, and it went well! It was interesting, knowing that this would be Elder Apable's last baptism and Elder Ahn's first! Anyways, some families from the ward showed up, and a lot of his friends, and the program with very smoothly. He even bore his testimony, which was awesome to see, because he was really nervous about it but did it because it meant a lot to him.

Also, we got to hear Elder Nielson of the 70 speak to us! One of my favorite things he shared with us was, "Don't let satan win the battle of your soul". When you think about it, this life can feel like a battle within yourself. You have the world, or satan, telling you to do certain things and be a certain way, and you have to fight it and overcome the natural man in order to reach exaltation in the end. As a missionary, you see people winning that battle and unfortunately, you see some people who are starting to lose that battle and you are desperately trying to help them turn the tides, or even see that they are losing such a precious war. Anyways, that will be my little spiritual thought today.

This week we also met someone from Destiny church, a curch that started of in New Zealand. We came back and mowed their lawns for them, and in turn they rapped some songs for us! They were really good, and it was all about praising God and spreading His word, it was pretty interesting. I'd send a video but it would probably take the whole day to upload, so sorry. Apparently though they rap in the city about all these messages of joy and stuff, and it get's quite a lot of attention.

Anyways, thank you everyone for your love and support!
Elder Ho
