Transfers!

Departing Faithful Missionaries from the great Australia Perth Mission.



We certainly will miss these wonderful, faithful, missionaries of the great Australia Perth Mission.  They have served with love in their hearts for their companions and fellow missionaries, and especially love for the people they were called to teach about Heavenly Father's plan of happiness, which centers around his son, Jesus Christ, and his atonement for every one of his children.  We will miss them greatly.  They are returning to Marshall Islands, Tahiti, Philippines, and Australia.  We love you.  Go forward with faith and continue to serve, to learn, to grow, and to change.

Bunbury Zone Come and See Fireside

There was a wonderful spirit at the Bunbury Zone Come and See Fireside.  The musical numbers were inspiring as were the messages shared by two recent converts to the Church and by President Fife.  Thank you all who worked so hard to make this a sweet experience for our friends and visitors.  

A few pictures taken of our missionaries and members after the clean up from the fireside.

A Special Visitor!
Look who showed up to pay us a special visit several weeks back!  Elder Tapumanaia!  He came all the way from Melbourne to surprize a young man whom he taught and baptized  15 months earlier, who was leaving on his mission!  What a treat for us!  We love being visited by the former missionaries of the great Australia Perth Mission!  We love you and you are and will always continue to be in our prayers and hearts.  Thank you, again, for the wonderful service you have given to bring the gospel to your brothers and sisters here.

3 - 10 September 2017
Interviews
District Meetings
3 Week Follow Up Training
North Coast Stake Conference
Come and See Fireside Dianella

It is always wonderful to have interview weeks roll around!  You missionaries are wonderful and inspiring to meet with!  

When we attend District Meetings it never ceases to amaze us what inspiring teachers you have become!

3 Week Follow Up Training was held this week.  Lots of instruction, training, and role playing!




North Coast Stake Conference was inspiring as some time was spent hearing conversion stories of members of that Stake.

The Come and See Fireside was inspirational and well attended.  Beautiful sharing of recent converts and their journey shared in how they found the gospel.  The music was really exceptional as well.  Lots of visiting afterward and good food!




This great man  pictured here with his sweet wife, was baptized last year.  We're so happy they were able to make it to the fireside.



Conference Quote:
My dear associates in the work of the Lord, I implore each of us to prayerfully study and ponder the Book of Mormon each day. As we do so, we will be in a position to hear the voice of the Spirit, to resist temptation, to overcome doubt and fear, and to receive heaven’s help in our lives. I so testify with all my heart in the name of Jesus Christ, amen."  President Thomas S. Monson

Who would not want the blessings of hearing the voice of the Spirit, of receiving more help to resist temptation, and to overcome doubt and fear?  What a blessing to have our Prophet remind  us of the blessings that can come from studying and pondering the truths we find in the Book of Mormon.  Let's share it with all the people we can here in Western Australia!  There are  many people he has prepared for us to find, teach , and bring to the covenant of baptism!

24-27 August

Zone Conferences and Rockingham Stake Conference!

Zone Conference:  In the morning we focused on our Savior, Jesus Christ and his capacity to help us change and develop gradually over our life times into Men and Women of Christ (PMG 6).  The joyful gift of repentance.  In the afternoon we spent time in Chapter 11 of PMG, and reviewing Elder Renlund's great explanations of how we can better help our friends and investigators understand the blessings and the promises of the different parts of the doctrine of Christ we are teaching them.  We need to feel motivated to change.  Hope is a great motivator.  Forgiveness is a great motivator.  Personal peace is a great motivator.  Feeling the love of our Heavenly Father and the guidance of the the Holy Spirit daily in our lives is a great motivator. etc.  

Rockingham Stake Conference focused on the joys of Member Missionary Work!  Many wonderful stories were shared by converts to the church as well as members who have felt joy as they have shared the gospel in their own personal ways with their families and friends.

Here are a few pictures of these two wonderful times shared with some of the great missionaries of the Australia Perth Mission!
