Oh yeah, I forgot about balute. Balute is that half developed duck egg that the Phillipinos boil up and eat. Well we went to a fillos house and they made six for us 4 misionaries. (for fun not for real meal) and well the daughter can draw really well. so we told her that if the six eggs were eaten, she would have to draw us four as super heros so we could blow it up and put it on the flat wall. So well, I and Elder Zabriskie ate two! yeah yeah! That is one of the pics. I was gagging the whole time.. but got it down. I could do fear factor easy.

Today we are fixing some things and cleaning and rearranging the place. Getting a new view on things. Also going to Bunnings to get some drywall and patch repair things.... hahah... I'll tell the story when I fix it all up. Oh and thanks Dad for teaching me very handy things. Like how to fix holes in walls.

Don't know how the wall could have a hole in it. . . .

" I'm getting this thing cut out of my neck ina week or two. There is nothing wrong, it is just and annoyance and it won't go away unless it is taken out. So yeah! don't fret about it... nothing big"

"My child has fallen among cut throats!! How much is a ticket to Australia?"

We are still in Meadow Heights- aka muslim heights- and living in the 4 man flat. It has been very fun and a good struggle. Thank you for teaching me how to live clean... and how to actually clean.
Life has been going really well! I had the opportunity to give two blessing this past week and they really just helped me out! I am just beginning to learn how the spirit communicates. If you listen .. you can hear it!
Really having a blast and a half and I'm excited to have a new companion! My first American one! hahah

elder williamson the zl on exchanges


this is lori.. he is really funny bloke -(like that? i'm trying to sound aussie)

Things have been going really well. I went on exchanges this past weekend with Elder Williamson. I heard that he was quite a difficult Elder with which to work. I expected the worst and I actually had a good time with him. He is the Zone Leader. I am really trying to be as humble as I can, so I just told him that night, 'tell me the things I need to work on and don't sugar coat them' ... I hate when people do that... just tell them strait up ya know?! Anyways he told me some good things I can work on and I'm trying to get better. This transfer has flown by. it is the 6th week allready and transfers are next week. Elder Tupou thinks President is gonna throw me in deep water. I'm really worried. I'll at least learn how to swim!! or... to float. anyways, i'm thinking of gettinga tasmanian liscence?! It costs 25 bucks and they don't take my usa one... so then I like have proof that I lived in Tasmania?! Good suvanieer (spell check) maybe?! Um yeah, I have to stop wearing some of the ties I have. Pres. didn't like the really dull pink tie I wore to interviews... so I thought the almost glow in the dark orange one is not a good idea to wear. Maybe only on pdays. Yeah, well, other then that all is going well!
