Sister Rose in the Land Down Under: Today is the Day!‏

Gday Everyone! :)

How are yous all doing?? I hope you have had a great week! :)

This week has been such a great week! But first I have to tell yous all something that I forgot last week...I sang my first solo last Sunday...I got asked on Saturday if I would sing in a fireside and man it was so scary!! I think it went good though! I have never sang a solo before but it was fun :)

This week we had Zone Conference and it was so great!! I absolutely love President Vidmar and Sister Vidmar! They are so good!! They always keep things upbeat and fun here in the AMM :) CHUR is the new thing here in the AMM. It stands for Christ Helps Us Rise. I absolutely love it and it is such a good reminder that even when we fall short, Christ is always there to help us rise back up! We watched a talk given by Elder Holland and one thing that he said really stood out to me, "Heavenly Promises are always kept." It is such a powerful thing to remember. Anything that is promised to us from our Heavenly Father is always kept no matter what. We don't have to worry about him forgetting about it or forgetting about us because he always remembers us.

I love that so much! The missionaries in the AMM are so awesome! I got to see the NZ haka! The elders did it for all of us and it was so cool!! I will try and attach it but man it was so funny as well! :) Elder Wiser and President Vidmar have this constant battle of handstand competitions.....and on Friday..Elder Wiser won!! It was so funny!!

This is the after picture...It was probably the best thing that I have seen! They went for 2 minutes!! It was crazy az!!

Fono is getting baptized tomorrow evening!! :) She is so prepared and is so excited to be baptized as well!! I love her to death! We have started reading the book of Mormon with her to help her understand more about what is going on and she is understanding more which is good :)

We had mini missionaries this weekend as well! They were 16 years old and were so cute and little! But their testimonies were so powerful! I couldn't believe that the testimonies they bore lead us to finding so many potential investigators! It was amazing! :) They were Sister Menzi and Sister Moore! They were so awesome! :) I love them to death!

So as I have begun to drive in Australia we have a song that we listen to every day that reminds us how important it is that we open our mouth to those who don't know the truth that we carry with us! The lyrics are "Today is the day I will open my mouth, I will shout from the rooftops, the truth will come out. And I share in my soul with the words that I speak with the words that I speak, with the Love that has made me this way. Yes today is the day I proclaim what I believe."

It has helped me so much this past week in Opening my Mouth and proclaiming the truth!! I am so grateful to be serving the Lord in the Australia Melbourne Mission :)

I love yous all heaps!! Have a great week :)
