Elder Caden Kapp: Keep me in TTG

HOLY COW, was this week full of miracles and such a joyful week. Hi everyone! How have you all been? If you can't tell, this week was so good for us here in the Tea Tree Gully. First things first, I want to talk about what happened yesterday. So, a little back story, we met another aboriginal family this week. We had an amazing lesson, and they wanted to come to church. So Sunday morning, since there were no buses, we walked an hour to their house at 6 am. And they said they were too tired and sleeping. After 15 minutes the mom came out and we sat on her driveway and shared a message and prayed. But then she went in and said she's too tired for church. We were a little frustrated, we just spent an hour and half trying to get them to church. So we left because we had to walk another 45 minutes to catch a bus. But while at the bus stop, they called us saying they are getting ready and are going to come. And sure enough, they came! They absolutely loved it! It was a roller-coaster of a morning but so worth it.

Also this week, we went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders. So Elder Arnold came here with me. It was such a good exchange. We had a some lessons, visited less actives, and found heaps of people. And then to close the night, he and I got the mega feast from Hungry Jacks! It was a lot of food, but hey, new memory haha.

The rest of the week was just full of so many lessons, services, and member visits. With some finding here and there. This area is so good and I never want to leave it. So make sure you're praying I stay for next transfer haha. It's crazy to see the Lord's hand in his work. Like it shows that it's his work, and people are prepared to receive him. It's just on us to trust him to lead us to those people. This leads me to our next miracle, Tyra. So there's been this street I've been wanting to knock for so long but for some reason we never had time or something would come up. But the other day Elder Shum and I both felt so strong that it was time. So we knocked it and man was it going bad. No one would let us utter a word. We knocked one whole side and then the next. All felt lost until one of the last houses. We knocked, and the person who answered asked us if we could teach them right then and there. They loved the Book of Mormon, and the spirit was so strong. It was such a blessing and miracle.

Then some random stuff, last pday was lit. We had chalk wars and played egg roulette. And painted each other's shirts. So fun. We saw a bunch of baby kangaroos, which were so cute. We had a service and I caught a large lizard so that was cool. So yeah that's my week.

The little spiritual thought goes back to a quote years ago. "No empty chairs." I could have it off, but you get what I'm saying. When we're up in Heaven, will all our loved ones be there? Who'll be missing? Why? We need to be doing our best to make sure every single chair is filled.

As always, I love you all. I hope you have a most amazing week. I'll talk to y'all next week.
