G'day!
It is autumn and all the leaves are changing and falling, it
is so beautiful here! The mornings are starting to get chillier as well, which
you would be surprised to hear since it is Australia. But South Australia is
actually the coldest state I have heard.

This week has been really great. We got to see General
Conference. I loved it! We had a few investigators come as well. I loved to
hear from Thomas S. Monson, our Prophet, even though it was short. I love
Alice in Wonderland, it is one of my favourite books and children's stories. I
love how he related Alice's conversation with the Cheshire (Did anyone notice
President Monson said Chinese?) Cat to our lives as members. Unlike Alice we
know where we are going and we know which path we have to take. I also loved
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland's talk about fearing tomorrow. That really hit home
for me as I feel like those children running away from the tomorrow dinosaur in
that picture. A scripture just came to mind: "Therefore, let the
morrow take thought for the things of itself." - D&C 84:84. I tend to
worry to much for the future, (like what to do after the mission) but I just
need to trust in the Lord and worry not because He has everything under
control. Life is but a weaving.

We had a little miracle this week. While walking around
talking to people on North Terrace by the library we found this lady from South
America. After a bit of talking to her she said, "You know I am actually
baptized into your church." She went on to explain how she got baptized
for her Mormon boyfriend about 6 years ago, since then they have broken up and
she had moved to Australia by herself. She told us we have perfect timing, but
wouldn't tell us why. We just told her the Lord knows HER perfectly and we are
just His servants. She will come to church this Sunday for the first time in
years.

Today we went to the temple, which is why I am emailing on a
Thursday and not a Monday. The temple was gorgeous and spiritually uplifting as
always. I will include some pictures of the temple today with some of the new
district I am in.
Love you all so much. I hope you have a wonderful weekend :)
Love,
Sister Coultrup.
