Hey everyone!!

Its been a loco week with lots to report! Transfers were this week and lots of changes were made! I'm training and I'm oober scared to break my little sister friend! Her name is Sister Larita and she is 4'6!!! for reals! I look like a giant compared to my sweet sister. She is from the Philippians and she is a doll. I love her to death. Sister Stott was moved and we received a new set of sisters into our appartment. 4 girls sharing a tiny flat is quite the entertaining sight. My flat mates are from Tahiti and Japan and they are wonderful! I'm learning so much from them and I am planning to be fluent in cebuano, tahitian, french, and Japanese by the end of the transfer;) Its been a good time. It is raining like mad here and Im soaked from head to toe daily. Being a missionary is amazing.  

(Chelsea letter to home funny stuff)

Like I cant believe its only been a week since I emailed!! So first off, Im the palest human ever in this mission, we went on a way fun hike in the RAINFOREST. Did you know I'm in Australia? Sometimes I totally forget! hahahaha we went on exchanges this week and had a gnarly time! Story of the week: So me and sister Mugua were trying to visit an investigator and as we ended our pray we look out the window of our car and there is this super old lady, like ancient!!! and she had pulled out this window screen and was trying to climb up this latter and we come out and she is balling and just freaking out and she got locked out of her house, so SUPER CHELSEA jumps through her window and it was just awesome! My message this week is on service! Do it. There are so many ways to be charitable. Get creative, maybe someday you'll be as thug as me and get to call breaking and entering christlike love:) I love you guys! 1 year more!!!!

Love,

Sister Chels Lou

We are so blessed to have the gospel in our lives! I love you all heaps!

HOOROO!

Hey Hey Guys!

Its been a good week. We did a lot of service this week which is my favorite thing ever!! We gardened and painted and did all sorts of fun things. We are going to a waterfall today in the rain forest! so that will be fun. I was asked to speak in sacrament meeting as a walked into the chapel. I have a testimony of the Holy Ghost. I actually didnt do much at that pulpit but i felt so calm and I was able to share so much. I talked about when the tempest was raging and Christ calmed the sea, and I said something like sometimes Christ doesn't calm the tempest in our lives but the tempest in our souls. It was awesome. Like I learned so much from those moments in front of the Wollongong ward. I just love this gospel so much. The other day I was tracting and I was on the verge of a mental breakdown and I just started praying and asking why we have to do so much and see so little come to pass. and then President Hollands voice came to my mind "Salvation was never easy Sis" I'm so grateful for this experience. I love being a missionary!

Stay positive and happpy! I love you to the moon and back!:)

Love,

Chelsea

Justis went to scout camp as a counselor in training. One of his leaders was going on a tip to Australia at the end of the summer and it just so happened to be Wollongong and to visit The mission leader in the ward Chelsea is serving in (small word aye...) He so kindly delivered a package to Chelsea and her companion Sister Stott.  She was so excited to get peanut butter M&M's,clothes, bath and body spray, kool-aid to name a few. Thanks Bull Family

Got Worms?

Member gave me a dress, I think we pull it off! (actually I have worn it all by myself and It is quite cute solo.) 

KIRI Loves the Kool-aid!

Quote of the week. "Could you die on your mission if you went to a really dangerous place? With like HEAPS of Nephites??" -Ryan age 6

"I don't know Ryan, I mean, It's a miracle I've lived through the 1000's of Nephite encounters I face as a missionary" Hahaha its been a great week:) Its acutally been a double cheeseburger weekend so thats been awesome:) We had zone pday on friday which was so great except it ended with a little bit of crisis when we got the other sisters car locked in a service station and had to sleep 4 extra girls at our house and get them all dressed and ready to go to time out for women the next day at 5 am:) You try fitting two 6'2 Tahitians in your little Chelsea clothes, its a challenge.  But time out for women was AMAZING! I got to meet David Archuletta again which was splendid, but I also got to meet my like all time role model Elaine S Dalton. Holy Cow she is incredible. She gave me the biggest hug and I am so sure that woman was called of God to lead the young women of my generation to the mission field:) Pretty much going to name my children after her:) We had a mission conference yesterday with Brad Wilcox and with a woman named Sandra Turley who was Cosette in the closing cast of Les Mis on BROADWAY! So yeah, Its been a really good week, feeling pumped for the work! I love you all:) Keep smiling and love each other:)

Love,

Sister Moon

Pouring Down Arachnids: Australia's Nasty 'Spider Rain' Explained

by ELIZABETH PALERMO, LIVE SCIENCE

Millions of tiny spiders recently fell from the sky in Australia, alarming residents whose properties were suddenly covered with not only the creepy critters, but also mounds of their silky threads. But that's not where the frightful news ends: Experts say that such arachnid rains aren't as uncommon as you might think.

This month's spider downpour in the country's Southern Tablelands region is just the most recent example of a phenomenon commonly known as "spider rain" or, in some circles, "angel hair," because of the silky, hairlike threads the spiders leave behind. Ian Watson, who lives in the region affected by the spooky shower, took to Facebook to describe what this strange "weather" looks like, according to the Goulburn Post.
