Heyyyyy everyone
So a lot happened this week and
I'll try and tell everyone the important things.
So we left last Monday for Australia and ended up traveling
for a grand total of 38 hours so that was just the best 10/10 would do again
;)...But in all honesty it wasnt too bad like there was a section of the
traveling that was a 13 hour plane ride and I slept for like 12 of that so I
wasnt like jet lagged at all when I got here. It was just orientation stuff
when I got here and then on wednesday night we found out where we were going. I
got sent to Darwin which is a 4 hour flight from Adelaide (where I arrived in).
I couldnt go up till friday evening tho so I stayed with two Elders in Adelaide
and that was pretty good. Friday we flew up to Darwin and I got in at like 10
30 at night. I have two companions cuz I'm in a trio with Elder Dickson (from
Canada) and Elder Syme (From Mississippi). They're both super nice and good
trainers. Elder Dickson only has like 3 months of his mission left and Elder
Syme has a good deal left but he ran track as well in high school so we talk
about that alot,
Last weeks schedule was pretty wack cuz I was just getting
here and it was different cuz of just weird meetings and stuff but we should be
getting into a usual groove soon. I'm trying to pick up all the slang here, its
not as bad as people said it was going to be like its pretty easy to understand
everyone just words here and there I have to learn. The aboriginals are
sometimes hard to understand cuz they talk really fast and sometimes throw in
their tribal languages so that can be confusing. Australia is pretty cool tho,
its like super pretty and the people are really nice and friendly but as soon
as you mention religion they pretty much shut off so thats fun. But yeah its
good here, the work is hard but I think thats the way youd rather have it.
I should be emailing every monday (this week is different
cuz here it is like 10 40 on tuesday) but yeah I hope everyone is doing great!
Miss and love y'all
Elder Nelson
P.S. The place we live in is the pink palace and we are with
another trio of Elders so there's six of us there its pretty wild
