I love Melbourne and I love my mission.
We are emailing really late because today we got permission to go to the Australian Open! We spent all morning there and it was AWESOME. It was so cool to see a few of the tennis matches and to spend the day in the city again. (I love Melbourne soo much!! <3) The Open is constantly on back home in Utah, but it was even better seeing it in person this time. We went with the 4 other missionaries in our ward and it was soo much fun! :)
We had our zone conference this week which was awesome! We talked a ton about goals and what we want to accomplish in 2018. I only have a couple months left on my mission (side note- I am actually super sad and starting to freak out about it because I swear I just got here....) but I was able to think of things that I want to do before I go home and then for the rest of 2018 (wherever I may be).
Also we got to watch President Monson's funeral as a part of the zone conference and it was soo amazing. I sobbed like a baby :):)):). I love President Monson SO much and I am so grateful for his example, his council and his love for this gospel. He lived an incredible life and touched so many lives. I hope to live my life in a similar way and will miss him dearly.
However, I do know that this work must go on. In the most recent General Conference, I was overwhelmed with the Spirit as President Nelson spoke and again when he spoke at President Monson's Funeral. I know that he will continue to lead and guide us with this love for the Savior.
All of our investigators are doing great. We are meeting with a handful of peopel right now that are progressing really well. We have been soo blessed these past couple transfers with people to teach. God is soo good.
OH! Heavenly Father has been teaching me patience this weekend because on Friday our car started making this super annoying beeping noise. It would beep twice every second no matter what we are doing. It beeps when we are parked, when we are driving forwards or backwards and right when we put the keys in. It is honestly horrible. We had our mission vehicle man check it out and see what was wrong.. but no one has ANY idea. (don't worry mom and dad.. it is safe. just likes to beep. :) haha) Well long story short, we just drive with the windows down and the music playing so we can't hear it (and to keep me sane) and we are taking it to the shop this week to get it checked out.
That is pretty much my week! It has been good and I am still loving Glen Waverley and being with Sister Chen. She is the nicest human and is soo patient with me. I am so blessed.
have a good week.
love and miss you all.

Sister Chen gives Alyssa a hard time, because
she parks SO far away from the gas pump.
