G'day mates!

G'day mates! I hope you're all doing well. I haven't gotten any emails as of yet today. Not much news as of yet this week. The Elder Neil. A. Anderson Mission tour got canceled last Friday because of the massive floods in Brisbane. They just went to Sydney instead.
My companion e.Stringfellow and I are doing well. the work in Mudgee is still slow, but we are finding and teaching more people through our own efforts. The Prasads came to church again this week. Annie didn't go to relief society though, she says she thinks its boring. Haha, I don't know what to say to that.
The members in this ward are great and they are taking really good care of us. And they seem to be getting more missionary minded. I could be here until I die (come home). So I am giving it all I've got in this area. Final stretch. Today is just a normal Monday pday. I think we are just doing some activity with the zone at the stake center. We weren't able to tie down Jade for a lesson this past week and he didn't come to church either because he said its to early now that we've switched to 9 AM. So i was pretty disseminated in him. (Devastated).
I hope that the natural disasters in Queensland soften the hearts of the many Godless Aussies. Australia has been well over due for some humbling natural disaster. But people are really starting to pull together as communities to work on putting Queensland back together. I hope that they also begin to open their hearts.
We've heard a lot of negative things from people we've tracted into and talked to recently. Holding to the Iron Rod of the scriptures helps me to keep my head up and look forward to these last days and know that if we are prepared we shall not fear. I love the Book of Mormon. You can learn so much from it about so many different aspects of life.
Mark are you all right? we talked to James Miller on the phone on Christmas and he said you got in a scooter accent or something. I haven't heard from you in a while so i just wanted to make sure you are still alright. Hope you are, 'cause i still would like to go flying with you as soon as I get home... (after we go to Wendys of course.)
Hope you all are doing well. Please keep - The Prasads, The Pagels, Jade, and the Mudgeeraba missionaries in your Prayers.
John and Matt did you get your Christmas Pressies? Hope everyone is having a wonderful new year and is able to fulfill all of their Resolutions. That is what the gospel of Jesus Christ is all about. Change.
Love you all, hope you have a great week. Remember who you are and what you stand for.
Love, Elder R.A.Prina
