Hey everyone! So this week has been great! My comp. and I have been really hitting the less active list hard because at Christmas time it's hard to find anyone who is actually staying in Australia for Christmas. But, the ones we have found we try to visit whenever they have free time. This week we had a mission wide fast for fast Sunday and it started at 5 sat. night and ended 24 hours later. It was really ruff cause sat. night we had been invited to a ward sports activity and so we went and played some basketball and footie(rugby) and foolishly forgot we'd probably be hungry after.... and to make it worse they had a bbq right after. But, that didn't stop us we stayed strong. The next day my comp. and I definitely saw the blessings of our fast. We had 2 investigators show up to church which was a great thing because we hadn't ever gotten anyone there. So that was definitely a great blessing!!
So onto Leo, well Saturday afternoon we came home for lunch to find a lizard on the carpet so, of course, we had to catch it! So after catching it and putting it in a tupperware container I decided to have some fun while the lunch cooked so I built a tupperware mansion for Leo. It was definitely a great time! Then after getting pictures and stuff we released Leo back into the flat to eat spiders and other stuff that live here. So that is the story of Leo the Lizard.
The new video for Christmas is out its called "A Savior is Born" I'd invite you all to go watch it and then ponder how you can use it to help people remember the true meaning of christmas.

Did you hear Taylor Swift was here last week?!! haha ya she was in Sydney I actually got to use that to open up a gospel discussion with a girl on the bus! We talked for like 30 min about missionaries and stuff and like she wasn't interested, but I gave her a card and she said she'd check it out all because I was like a normal person. So it is true God uses all your skills from back home!
