G'day g'day!
Greetings from
Dandenong!! My new area is about half an hour away from the city, close
to the Dandenong mountains! My new companion, Sister Vermeulen, is from
South Africa and she is the coolest. We're doubling in to an area that
some elders left about a transfer and a half ago, and we're starting
pretty much from scratch. We've done a lot of tracting, street
contacting, and tracking down former investigators to find some people
to teach. We've had pretty good success so far! The Lord is definitely
lending us a hand.
The ward here is amazing and so
supportive! We've called heaps of random people from the ward list and
asked if we can come introduce ourselves, and everyone has been so
welcoming! There haven't been sisters in this area for ages so the ward
is pretty excited to see us, which is definitely encouraging. :)
We've
been doing heaps of GQing at the Dandenong Plaza, and one day we ran
into some other sisters... nuns, that is. :) They've spent the last 50
years living and serving in Paupa New Guinea. They were so great!
Dandenong
is nearly as multicultural as the city, which is thrilling! We've met
heaps of Sri Lankans, Cambodians, Sudanese, and the occasional Malaysian
and Vietnamese and Chinese. And they say America is the mixing bowl!
Love you all!!
