G'day family and friends

G'day family and friends,
Its good to hear from you this fine day. As usual its a B-E-A-UTIFUL day on the Gold Coast. Its been a good week. We didn't quite hit twenty lessons like Matt. But we had more lessons this week then we've had in over a month. We are finding new investigators but the problem continues to be holding the second appointment. Everyone on the Gold Coast seems like they are on Holiday [mentally, and in all other respects]. everyone just tells us to pop by, or 'call in' while we are in the area. So we struggle to get people to hold appointments. Annie and Zinia Prasad came to church this Sunday, and Annie went into Relief Society. Annie's Husband Neal Prasad, who has come back to church in the past 6 months, since I've been here, spoke in sacrament today. It was very special and a bit emotional for me. He hasn't spoken in church in over a decade. It made me feel like we've had some other success' here, though we haven't had any Baptisms lately.
Elder Stringfellow and I are getting along well. We work towards a common goal and nothing else matters. Jade didn't come to Church this week. We found a new guy to teach named Cameron. He is 23 years old and a bit of a drifter. He has some interesting beliefs and is really into "your thoughts become reality" "sacred Geometry" "star trek" and he wants to join the free masons and go "intergalactic". He listens to us and has committed to read and pray about the Book of Mormon. But he says that he wants to join the free masons cause he reckons that is the real stuff. We find some "one in a millions" here on the Gold Coast. Pray for us to find some Elect families so we can take home Matt's title of liberty broom.
We've had some success with getting a few less actives and recent converts back to church. There is a lot of them here.
How was sister Lisa Prina's homecoming talk? I wish I could have heard it. I want to go ask her about all of her mission stories and see all of her cool mission pictures when I get home.
Tell Sara B happy birthday for me! They all look so big in the photos! I can't believe it! Is Ellie already talking and saying stuff?!
I get home March 30th, so a little over a month after Matt. All the hype will have died down by then. haha. I come home with a huge group of Missionaries. We're gonna put a big dent in the mission. My MTC companion, Elder Hogg, is actually my zone leader right now, so i get to see him very often. We went on a trade off just on Saturday and reminisced about our missions and the good times. We had a really good group of missionaries in our intake. I arrive at around noon on march 30th. Look forward to seeing you then. Its good to hear you like your t-shirt Matt. i hope john got his.
well I'm being kicked off the computer. I love you all and hope you have a great rest of January. I know the scriptures are true.
Love, Elder R.A.Prina
