Overseas Adventure: June 2011
http://mjbennallack.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 13, 2011. A Visitor and a birthday! What a wonderful experience it was to assist Connie as she went to the Temple for the first time. There are some moments in our mortal existence that are truely choice, and are defined above others. This was one of them! I am very blessed in the friendships I have been able to make while living here in Denver. Rick and I were able to go again with Connie on Tuesday. Elder Jonathon Bennallack with his new district in Tulon. In the afternoon, Tom, Sarah and ...

Overseas Adventure: March 2011
http://mjbennallack.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 24, 2011. Spring has arrived in Denver. Nearly two weeks have passed. I have spent a lot of time just content to be at home trying my hand at painting. I have found solace and peace as I have absorbed myself in trying to create something of merit. I have been satisfied with the results, although I can see room for improvement and will repaint two paintings. I had Chuck critique them yesterday, and I highly value his suggestions. I have found myself to be an emotional crack case! It starte...

Elder T. Bennallack - Australia Melbourne Mission 2011-2013. Tuesday, October 22, 2013. October 2013 - My heart is full of gratitude for the opportunity to serve! It has been such a busy week! We boarded the Spirit of Tasmania on Wednesday. Night As nice as the ship is, I was dreading it because I knew it would be crazy on the water. The days leading up to us boarding there have been powerful wind storms all over Melbourne, with so many trees down all across the city! In the morning. It wasn’t ...I was a...

Elder T. Bennallack - Australia Melbourne Mission 2011-2013. Monday, December 5, 2011. December 2011 - Ballarat. Seriously, when I got off the plane, I couldn't understand some people! I guess it doesn't help being in the country where it's so thick, but still I have to really focus to understand people! And I didn't think I had an accent at all! But I guess I was wrong. everyone I talk to thinks I'm American? I say I'm from Adelaide, and they're like, but you have an American accent? An older man took h...

Overseas Adventure: August 2011
http://mjbennallack.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 1, 2011. California Roadtrip - Homeward Bound and A Mission Call! Our journey reversed itself. We passed the turn off to Lake Mead, followed the meandering road through the mountains, entered the cactus covered desert area, all the while listening to country music on the radio. I lay the seat back flat and drifted off only to wake as the car slowed down and we were entering Las Vegas. Rick had found a Post Office so we could post to our granddaughter Zayla who is turning TWO! There serious...

Elder T. Bennallack - Australia Melbourne Mission 2011-2013. Tuesday, July 3, 2012. July 2012 - Serve with your Might, Mind and Strength. This week has been great! We have been able to see many miracles and teach lots and lots of lessons. Moral of the story: whether a full time missionary or member missionary, we always being watched. We are a peculiar people and people watch what we are doing. This is why it's so important to act in a dignified manner. In general, I have really noticed the difference in...

Elder T. Bennallack - Australia Melbourne Mission 2011-2013. Thursday, April 18, 2013. 1 April 2013 - Easter Monday. Well I'm actually off to the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) today to see the 'Cats' and the 'Hawks' play (AFL Football). You have no idea how excited I am for it! President gave us permission so I can teach Elder Kirklin, seeing that it's a Monday game :P . This week has been an amazing week, we have been working really hard and everything seems to be falling into place. I love this work.

Elder T. Bennallack - Australia Melbourne Mission 2011-2013. Tuesday, April 10, 2012. April 2012 - Wagga Wagga NSW. This week has been probably one of my favourite weeks of my whole mission! I am seriously the happiest I have ever been! In reply to Dad's question, we have an older Statesmen Camery. It's done 70 000 km so hopfully it will get traded in soon but it's ok. We meet in a really nice new chapel and the ward is amazing! My week has been a ripper! I'm getting along so well with Elder Lambe! The b...

Elder T. Bennallack - Australia Melbourne Mission 2011-2013. Wednesday, March 21, 2012. March 2012 - Gold in Ballarat! On 'exchange' with the Melton Elders. Has it been raining heaps in Adelaide? It was like flooding here! Tracting for hours in the rain drenched! So much better then the heat. This week has had it's highs and lows. But on a whole, it was a great week becuase I had a lot of time to reflect and try to improve in my own Chistlike attributes. Down time at the flat with the Elders from Melton.
