So we found out transfers and I am going to Albany, which is 400km south of Perth at the bottom, so I am going country again. It is supposed to be really beautiful, all the missionaries that serve there love it. I think the branch is around 30-40 people, not too sure. My companion is Tongan but I know he spent time in either NZ or Australia. I served in the same zone with him for a while so I am excited to serve with him. There are also a pair of sisters down there and a senior couple. It will be weird being away from heaps of other missionaries, but at least there are some other missionaries unlike Karratha. The Zone Leaders also generally come down and do exchanges every transfer so I look forward to that.
This week was a good week. On Saturday we found a new investigator tracting. She invited us in but her husband was not home so we could not go in but we were able to talk to her for a while at the door. They just moved into the area and are looking for a church to go to, so it is perfect for us to knock on her door. We also had fun after that. We were in a three way for a little bit and went by a park where a guy was playing basketball and we started to play with him. Then his friend came and we started to play a real game. They thought they were going to beat us because we were in white shirts. One of my companions is not good at basketball so he sat out, but my other companion is really good and we had fun smashing these two guys. And we were able to talk to them about why we were wearing white shirts and ties and were able to show them a different side of missionaries. I learned though that playing basketball in one pair of my shoes is probably not a good idea because I got a massive blister, but it was worth it.Love,
