Hey everyone! So this week went really fast. My comp. and I were doing heaps of exchanges because he is the district leader so I got to go to all sorts of flats this week and stay the night and go on exchanges with some other missionaries. So that was a great time! I actually went on an exchange with an elder from Bundaberg up in Queensland so he taught me how to make homemade ginger beer so I can actually make my own now and its so much cheaper than buying it at the store!
But anyways this week was great! I got to participate in a baptism. So the guy had a back and neck problem and is like super heavy so he asked for 2 missionaries to be in the water to make sure he didn't get hurt. So I got to stand behind him and lift him out of the water while elder crowton held his neck still. It was a great experience and I was glad I was able to participate.
The heat down here is killer at nights we are just sweating, but we have come up with an ingenious way to cool the house by leaving all the doors open! But as all good ideas, it comes with some drawbacks. We actually aren't sure what the first one is so if anyone has a name let me know. Also I put my hand as close to it as I could. The spiders here jump and so its actually very scary if you have no idea what kind of spider it is because some of them can kill you and others can only hurt you very much so hopefully it looks like an accurate size.
Have a great week! Remember the true meaning of Christmas
Love Elder Jackson
