Elder Caden Kapp: Possums Are Good at Faking Death

Hello everyone!

This week was the most stellar for me!!! It was filled with miracles, exchanges and lots more. So, let's get to it!!!

To start off, miracles. So, this week we had the feeling to knock this certain street and were able to find loads of new friends. We had follow up appointments with some and they went amazing. Hashtag miracle number one. Miracle number two, we were knocking the same street and while at a door someone drove up and called to us and told us he lived there but was leaving and wanted to come back and tell us he wanted to visit with us. So, we left our number at the door and he's been texting us. Someone who's actually interested in meeting us. Hashtag miracle.

Next exchanges, so this week I was able to go on exchanges with the Zls. I went to the city with Elder Johnston. And let me say, what an amazing time. We walked to the church office which is on the 7th floor in an office complex. It's a super long walk and on the way we just did street contacting. We talked to some super cool people. And the whole time Elder Johnston would just ask me what way or who to talk to. I was like dude idk I've never been here. But he said go by the spirit so that's what we did. And we ended up in a park and I had such a strong feeling to talk to this guy on a bench. So we went over and he wasn't interested at all. But then I noticed there was thus other bench a couple feet away. So my thought was I just missed my shot by a bench. So we went and talked to the guys on the other bench. And man were they interested. They didn't want us to leave. They kept asking questions and loved the Book or Mormon we gave them. We got their number to set up a follow up appointment. So that was such a good experience. So later we were doing fb finding and someone called us out of the blue on it that we just added. So we answered (usually wouldn't) and ended up teaching him. He's super cool. And it was such a surprise haha. Then to end the day we had a teaching appointment with two of their friends. That lessons went amazing. The spirit was so strong. They received everything amazingly. And on that note, we ended our exchange.

Now just random stuff that happened throughout the week. We had our ward talent show. That was super fun, we had some friends come and met some new ones there. It was also a blast of a time. Pday for today we went hiking to these waterfalls. We were wearing like shorts and stuff. It took a couple of hours and on top of that, it was pouring. Literally the whole time. And it was freezing. But we still had a blast, just drenched and will all have colds and die. Oh also on that hike we saw a tiny snake and ofc I tried to pick it up. (Not a good idea in Australia). It wasn't being very nice so we let it go. Then we hiked back. Got subway, showered, changed, and just chilled and played spikeball.

Then the rest of the week was filled with lessons, member visits, and other stuff haha. So yeah, that's my week. It was probably the best week of my mission so far. Knock on wood please. Well I love you all! Sorry I'm literally the worst at responding to emails. I might do better, I'll certainly try. Jkjk I'll do better. Thanks for all of your love and support! Talk to ya in a week and by then I'll know about transfers. I really want to stay! Ok love ya, bye.
