Time is going by quickly! We are into the month of August and we had a couple of great days of weather this week! It was up to about 20 deg. C and sunny all day! What happened was there was a very warm wind from the Northwest. So we got all the warm air from Australia. That resulted in a wonderful couple of days. We also had a good week with missionary work.
So on Wednesday evening, we had our plans and back up plans fall through. We decided we would go to visit the Branch President. When we got there, his wife answered the door and told us that we had "perfect timing"! Naturally, we were curious. So her son had moved in just recently from Christchurch and told her that he wanted to stop smoking. She told him, his name is Jesse, that we had a stop smoking program. I had heard about it but I had never before used it as a missionary. So we had to get a copy of it and came back a couple days later to teaching him the stop smoking program. He accepted all the commitments and even told us that he wanted to come to Church on Sunday. Jesse is a member but he has been away from the gospel for a little while. So he did not come to Church on Sunday, but we had dinner at their place on Sunday night and we got to catch up with him. He is doing pretty well! He went from being a chain smoker to only one or two smokes a day. And he still says he wants to come back to church. So I ask you all at home to pray from him for this next week while he gets completely clean from smoking. His name is Jesse Fxxxxx. Thanks!
We also got a new investigator the other day. It was a referral from the Sisters. His name is Jason. He was pretty busy but we were able to have a short 15 min lesson with him. He told us that last year he lost three of his family members, including his wife. So we are going to do all we can to share with him the Plan of Salvation and especially eternal families. We can see that he is a really sincere man. So hopefully we can help him and give him strength and comfort at this time.

Well that was about all for this week. Tonight we are going to a member family from Argentina and they are going to cook us a meal too so we are excited to do that! But that is all for this week! Hope you are all doing well! Love you lots!!!
