G'day Mates! I hope everyone had a happy Halloween!

I apologize for not writing a mass email/ blog post each week! Missionary work is way busy. But I know it's the most important work, and also the most rewarding! There is so much sadness and rejection in missionary work, but also the most happiness and fun all at the same time! It's way cool.
The last few weeks have been awesome! We just had transfers and I thought I would for sure stay in South Harbour because I'm still a newer missionary and I needed to finish being trained by my companion, Elder Hung! But our mission president called and said I was being transferred to the City to be with a new companion, Elder Ball! It was so unexpected for both of us, but so amazing too! Elder Ball has been on his mission for the same amount of time as me, so us being companions right now is so unusual! I knew Elder Ball in the MTC because we were going to the same mission, but he is a Mandarin speaking missionary! He's from California and he's the coolest.
Such a crazy transfer! Elder Ball and I are going to be so amazing together though, I know it. We're going to work so hard and be so obedientr. It'll be so fun too because we can teach all the english speakers, chinese speakers and korean speakers! We'll mostly teach in english though since everyone knows at least a little bit of english! I'm pretty sad that I had to leave my old area and all of our investigators though! Elder Hung and I saw so many miracles and met so many great people! I know that he and his new companion will be awesome though!

So the City is crazy! So many people and so many activities in the church! I'm serving in a YSA ward so it's super fun with the crazy young, single, (and ready to mingle) adults, so it's really funny. It'll be a lot of fun, but also a lot of work, and I'm so excited and determined.
 Our flat is super cool too! We're on the 27th floor of our building so there's an amazing view of the harbour and the city! So beautiful! I'll send pictures soon.

I'll write more about the city and my new experiences in the upcoming weeks! I hope everyone is doing great and having a good time in the good old USA! Thanks for the emails, everyone! 

Love, Elder Litster
