Hey mates! Hope everyone had a splendid week! The weeks just go by slowly but surely! Life moves on whether we want it to or not! Time is so precious! There is nothing we can do to get time back! Don't waste the precious time we have been given!  The weather is starting to turn cool again over here! It is darker sooner at nights and in the mornings again. So crazy that I have made it to fall. I am excited to experience the Australian fall time! The leaves are just starting to show signs of turning colors. I hope everyone is starting to enjoy the warmer weather in Utah. It was probably the most mild summer I have ever experienced in my life. It never got super hot for weeks on end like I thought it would. Living next to the beach does have its benefits.  Fun Australian things: -Stick fences! There are just stick fences everywhere! There are like no normal fences or walls. They are just made all out of these sticks. I can't imagine if there was a fire….the whole nation would bur...

I am so grateful for the chance to repent and I often ponder with awe at what He did for each of us! What He did for me personally! He suffered and died for me, so that I may have the opportunity to live both spiritually and physically again! I am grateful for Him and the power of the atonement and the power of the resurrection that is made possible only through Him! He is truly the rock of everything that this gospel stands on. Jesus Christ is my all! Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afr...

Good day mates! It was another crazy week! I am always amazed about how much can happen in one day! It is truly astonishing. If you use your time wisely, there are infinite things you can do in a day! Time is precious!  I also hope everyone is enjoying the cold weather in Utah! It blows my mind to think that it is cold over there! It has been a really mild Australian summer and I have been loving every minute of it! Such nice days!  Fun Australian things: -Otter pops are called zooper doopers  -Nike the shoe brand is called nik not nike over here. It is spelled the same but the Australians just pronounce it differently like everything else they say haha. But man it is hard to get used to people saying nik instead nike haha.  -Australian elevators are built differently haha. Instead of level 1 being ground floor it is another button like G or something. So all the foreigners get confused and always push 1. And the elevators always have mirrors so we all just stare at ...
