Elder Caden Kapp: Near Death (Not really)

Hello fam bam,

What's goin on at home? Anything cool or exciting? This week was pretty baller. Except I almost died!!! Ok not really, but here's what happened. We were door knocking and I was walking up the stairs and there was a snake. Not just any snake but a ticked off one. It definitely didn't end with it chasing me down the stairs and me running very dramatically, terrified for my life, with the guy who lived there watching from the front window. Yeah... definitely didn't happen. Oh also, we've been seeing some big as heck spiders. Like have the wildlife been juicing? Idk but it was a crazy week for animals. Also saw more koalas so that's pretty cool.

This week we had some amazing teaching appointments. It's good seeing our friends progress. We've also been trying to do more Facebook finding and with many, many requests, I got accepted to the Indians in Adelaide Facebook group. Those are some rad peeps who love talking about holy stuff. (Hope no one is reading into this email too seriously) Honestly, we've been finding some super cool people who want to learn more about the gospel and it's been super cool. I'm excited to see where it takes them!

I don't remember if I talked about it but we had zone p-day last Monday and that was a blast. Played lots of volleyball and other games. It was good having a chill day with a bunch of missionaries. Then on Wednesday my comp and I literally went mountain biking to get to these families to visit. It had stairs and jumps and was just a blast. Such a fun way to go visit people haha. That same day we went to the temple and let me tell you, it's amazing. If you haven't gone since they redid stuff, you need to go. "Wink" "wink" It's honestly my favorite time going to the temple. It's so so peaceful and relaxing and the spirit is unmatchable there.

On Saturday we were able to see a baptism in our zone. It was super amazing and such an incredible experience. I love seeing new friends be baptized. Then after my comp and I went to Sushi Train. It's an expensive sushi place where the sushi just comes around on this moving thing in a circle. You just take what you want and depending on the color of plate, is what the price is. And then we had the genius idea to have a eating contest. Note: DO NOT have an eating contest at an expensive sushi restaurant or else you'll blow $50.00 on sushi. It was so so amazing though and you know I won haha. Then on Sunday we had transfer calls. And I'm... going no where!!! Only two people are leaving our zone. It'll be good.

This week I invite y'all to read my favorite chapter in the Book of Mormon, Ether 12. It has one of my very favorite words throughout it. The word is faith. This word is crucial for our religion because it's how we get by. Without faith we wouldn't be part of anything or hope for anything. I love this chapter of the BOM.

Well I hope you all as always have just the most stupendous week! Love you all!!!
