Glad to
hear that you had a good trip to Hawaii
This may
sound like a broken record but it is hot here. There is nothing like getting
out of a cold shower and drying off, then 5 seconds later having to dry off
again because of the sweat.
The people
are a little bit hard to understand but not too bad. They speak kind of like a pigeon English. It
is pretty quick but for the most part you can understand. They also mix a few
words of their language with English, so you have to learn them. For example
they would say "look at that goonaba" which is dog. They just mix so
you have to learn some of their words.
The
Aborigine people are quite a bit different, they are hilarious. They like to
relax in the shade and just enjoy life and the outdoors. They dress semi
normal, very plain clothes, nothing fancy.
We do listen
to music, just EFY and Mormon Tabernacle. The five hour car rides would be hard
to make without being able to listen to something.
We have
firesides each week where we invite people and we try and focus on getting the
kids there and involved. So what we did for this last one was taught about
faith and then had the kids stand up backwards on a chair and had them tip
over. So they had to trust that whoever was behind them would catch them. It
was pretty funny. Then we have games for
the kids after the lesson.
We did a
service in Tennant on Saturday, and they had us cook a barbie. We cooked over 1000 sausages, it was crazy. We
cooked the barbie for a children’s Christmas party at the park and they had Santa
there. Santa came in on a sleigh with
kangaroo pulling him instead of reindeer.
We sang
for a local choir as well, that was interesting.
Well time
is up.
Have a
great week. Love you heaps.
love Elder

TERM OF THE WEEK:
mob =
group of 2 or more people. We get called a mob a lot. You could call a family a mob, its just a
group.
