Transfer Week

                     I got a call from my zone leaders last Saturday through Elder White saying that I need to pack my things up and it means that I'm getting transferred this time and I don't know where. It is so sad for me to leave  Dural area cause I've been here for likely 7 months and I do really love this area. The Lord has something to do with me in my new area and with my new companion.

                     The day after transfer calls is Sunday and its our missionary fireside at the Baulkham Hills Stake Center. Our zone was assigned to organized the missionary fireside this month and its about the Plan of Salvation. Our zone leaders created a new idea of organizing it and its gonna be a play this time with the Plan of Salvation which is God's plan for the happiness of all His children. I'm so happy that night that we could be as a zone for the last night that we have together. Many of us missionaries in Baulkham Hills Zone will be leaving the zone. Its been a wonderful time for me to serve here in Baulkham Hills Stake / Dural ward so I took some photos for it.

Welcome to KOALA PARK

        A member in Dural Ward ask us missionaries if we have been to the Koala Park in our area and we just said no and it cost a lot of money to be there also. The member just told us that he would love to bring us all there this week and then a member set a plan for all of us.

The weather this day seems to be odd because it rains a lot but still we decided to go to koala park that day.

- a koala in the eucalyptus tree and we find out that the life span of a koala is only 10 to 12 years.

tails.

Last week of the Transfer

                 This week has been so stressful because of the upcoming transfer meeting this Monday 8th of September 2014. We were all talking about transfers and probably there will be a big changes in the zone this month because most of the missionaries served in this zone for a long time and I'm one of those missionaries. I've been here in the Baulkham Hills Zone for 7 months and also with Elder White and Elder Brown from New Zealand and Elder Keefer from USA and I really  love this zone and area. I was just 3 months that time when I first got in here and now I'm on my 10 months in the mission already which is so great. Time flies so fast in the mission.

                 It's the start of spring season in Australia this month and it was so good but still  the weather is quite  cold. It's been a pretty good week for me with my companion this time and even though that transfer meeting will be on this Monday. It's very sad to say that this might be our last week as companion and I really hope not so. I really love my companion because he is very funny and he also makes us happy all the time in the flat. I really love it here in Dural because of the loving and caring members that we have in the ward and our area is very accessible with the Sydney Australia Temple which is so great. But still I need to accept if I got transferred this Monday and I know that Heavenly Father knows what's the best for me in the mission. I also got some cool photos this week with my companion and with the other missionaries in our zone .

- This is me with one of our stuffed toys in the flat . I do have a stuffed toy and it's a leopard which is so cool.

          I also take some photos with some of the members in Dural Ward in case of being transferred from another area this Monday which will be so sad for me. But as we know that changes is part of our life.

                  Time flies so fast and its quite amazing to know that I'm almost out for 1 year in the mission. The Lord really knows what the best for us and I'm so grateful to be here in the Lord's errand. It's a wonderful experienced for me to be out here in Australia Sydney doing the Lord's work.
