No emails the past 2 weeks

Long Time,Well the past few weeks the internet has been really sucky and even today I almost didn't email, but we finally found a cafe that had a connection that was working okay. So forgive me if you will. I have actually had a lot of really sweet experiences the past few weeks, so I will try and include a few. So I don't have any good excuses, but I’m thousands of miles away and you can't do anything so ha!!! Deal with it mom :) jk
Um, well where do I start. In the last three weeks we have had interviews with president, Elder Brown got sick for the first time, we had a temple training because we didn't get to go to the temple, and I don't get to go for 2 years which serious blows, we had a really good baptism the past weeks, and we have another on Saturday where we will be baptizing the smartest most powerful investigator I have ever had on my mission. And Sunday we had 19 investigators at church and 12 of them were boys between the ages of 16 and 24, and all 12 were in white shirts and ties. Sweetest picture ever! So freakin sweeeet!! So the past while has been very busy, hectic, and fun as ever. Friday we had a temple training. It was cool because President really taught us some sweet things about life. We talked a lot about the significance of the temple and how it is the greatest blessing in our lives if we will use it correctly. We can take any problem to the temple. And even while we are in the temple its like we don't have any problems at all. It’s a win win situation. They say that whatever you think about in the temple is who you are, because there satan really has no power, so its a good way to judge where your heart is at. If you can’t have good clean thoughts in the temple, you might want to take a good look at yourself. We talked a lot about marriage actually and how everything we do prior to kneeling at the alter in the temple is to prepare us for that covenant we will make, and how everything we do after that moment is to help us keep that covenant. In all eternity the single most important thing we do is get married in the temple. It was pretty crazy to think about it in that way, but right now I don't want to think about it. So I won't. So that conference was really sweet. We got to ask President and Sister Sabey any questions we wanted, and they gave us some sweet feedback. I really want to go to the temple, so bad, but I guess it will be that much sweeter when I get home.
So that’s a little bit about that, now interviews were really sweet with President. That was a few weeks back. Um from the way things seem and just from the feeling that I have I think there is a good chance that I could be transferred this coming transfer. I have been in Moree for a really long time and 9 months is a little more than normal, and I have trained Elder Brown for a while now. However I love Moree and I would love to stay right where I am at. The ward is sweet and there is some serious progress going on there. It’s crazy. The Lord has really been blessing us, and I would love to continue thework there, but a change would be sweet too. That’s kind of just how I felt after my interview with President. He also said that he could tell I came from a very strong family and had great parents, so you must be doing something right. But don't get a big head. Your work isn't over. Miles is definitely your greatest challenge ha jk.
I don't know if I have told you about my new mission goal. We are supposed to baptize a referral from a recent convert and then help a recent convert to prepare names for the temple and then get them to the temple to do the baptisms for their ancestors. This is a sweet goal because we have been doing a lot of work with the new family search site and yesterday we spent all afternoon on the computer with our powerful investigator Andrew doing his for him so that he can go to the temple right after his baptism. It should be sweet, and it will be very fulfilling and we are going to try and do it with all of our recent converts so they learn to love the temple and will go back. Now on a different subject. I have been trying to come up with a way to get the ward more involved with the missionary work, even though they already are a lot of help, and I think I am going to get every member of the ward council a Preach My Gospel book and then try and get the ward to help take over more in teaching the final lessons to our recent converts along with our help. But I want them to take over. We will teach a little about it in the next ward council and see what they think. This will help the recent converts to get to know their various leaders in the ward and it will bind them to the members, and not us. Plus we have to many recent converts right now and we are having a really hard time being able to meet with all of them and then our current investigators too. And we can't neglect anyone. So if you have any ideas or feedback there let me know what we can do. But I think we will try that for now.Our baptism this Saturday should be sweet. We should have about 8 people if all goes well. Other than that, not much is happening. There was a dove standing on the overhang all through church on Sunday, so I guess the spirit was present. That was cool haha. Really things are just going 100 miles and hour and I’m trying to keep up. Seriously there is a lot going on and we have so many people to teach right now. When we come home at night I am exhausted and I have been going to sleep like 1 hour earlier than normal, which I never do. The work is sweet, but it’s still work. I had to leave a few thingsUm, well where do I start.

I had to leave a few things out this week that I’ll try and remember for next week, but its good to hear from all of you and read your emails. Please make me some cards that I can give to members in Moree with my name, phone number, address, and stuff like that, like a business card, so they can keep in contact with me when I get transferred. Um send me some easy cheese in the spray bottle please, that’s all I want is some cheese haha. Other than that everything is awesome. Hynm number 72 says "Ponder Anew What the Almighty Can Do". That has serious been something I have been pondering a lot lately. I have come to see that he can do anything, if we just trust in him. I know the church is true and that if we will stay faithful the Lord will work miracles in our lives. Let’s all look for his hand in our lives, and we will come to see just how much he does for us. I love you all and hope you have a great week.
Love Elder Adams
