Australians are so weird sometimes

Happy Father's Day!!!!!!!! You see, I am EXTREMELY GLAD that I was reminded because here in Australia, FATHER'S DAY ISN'T IN JUNE!!!!!! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, talk about a week! The only things that you really need to know about are how we picked up 2 more baptismal dates!!! So, we are up to 4 dates!!! 2 on the 3rd of July, and 2 on the 31st of July. It should be a very exciting transfer! You may be wondering though, wait, WHO WILL IT BE WITH. Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in the history of the Mission of Elder Connor Evan Bennion he is getting a REPEAT COMPANION! Elder Makai and I will be together for at least another 6 weeks and that is BECAUSE WE HAVE WORK TO DO!

Here's more about our 4 dates:

1. Guan (July 3rd). Chinese University student who has an OUTSTANDING belief in Jesus Christ, and said the line of the century when we asked if he was going back to China soon, he said, 'I'm going back in December, and when I go back, I'm going to build the LDS Church there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He hasn't even been baptized!!! He's so awesome!!!!!

2. Ali (July 3rd). We contacted Ali about 3 weeks ago and left him with a Mormon.org card not really thinking anything of it, but because the Lord prepares His children, Ali went and researched the website, and then approached us about a week ago and said, "YOU NEED TO BAPTIZE ME!" He is amazing and honestly wants to be baptized. Here's the scary part, he is from Iran and when he told his family he was getting baptized they practically disowned him. But, he said that he doesn't care he knows that this is true!!!!!!

3. and 4. Leo and Wang (July 3rd). These two practically have the exact same background! They are practically the same person! Both University students who are going back to China form about the 10th of July to the 18th, so, we had to push their dates back to the 31st which is actually the LAST DAY of this transfer.

That's really all that you need to know. Honestly. It has been a GREAT week and the week that lies ahead will be even better.

I LOVE AND THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND YOUR LOVE!!!!!!

Love, From Down Under,

Elder Connor E. Bennion
