Kiwi Katy - Serving in Hamilton

Kia Ora!  This week was great! On Pday we went to this museum but I didn't take pictures because I couldn't' find my camera, but don't worry I found it. It was just in my coat haha! It was a pretty cool museum. There was a lot of like Maori history and stuff! It was really neat!  Then  on Tuesday  we were supposed to leave for zone conference but it got changed to  Thursday . So  on Tuesday  we just went and visited people and hung up some peopl'se laundry and stuff. Just the usual.   On Wednesday   we went and visited a member at Kiri Te Kanawa. She has brain tumors and stuff, but she is the most positive person ever! The only thing she complained about was one of her neighbors who always cries so she doesn't sleep very well. She is such a positive person! Then, we went and cleaned our flat a little bit because we had flat inspection (we got a 10/10 woohoo!) Then we left for zone conference!  We met at the chapel and were supposed to leave at

Intake picture with Pres. and Sister Cummings Hi everyone!  This  week was great! I mean every week is great, but this week was so great!  On  Monday we did normal P-day stuff.  We cleaned the car and the flat and we went shopping.  On Tuesday  we had FHE with the ward so Sister Brothers and I wanted to make a treat. I made chocolate chip cookies. I made heaps of cookies! Like seriously so many. And we were running late (no surprise there, right haha). So I'd just piled the cookies onto a plate really fast and we got into the car and I spilled them all over the floor of the passenger side and we had just cleaned the car! Like I spilled probably 20 cookies all over the floor! So as we were driving to the chapel I was tossing cookies out of the window haha! It was really funny! Then  on Wednesday  we were contacting former investigators and we went to this one house but the lady said she wasn't interested so we decided to knock on the neighbor's door. We did and we met

Kia ora!  This week was pretty good! I can't believe I've been in Gisborne for almost 3 weeks! I sure do love it here!  This week we had an appointment with Donna, the referral we got from the Elders last week, but she was about to go shopping when we got there, so we have another appointment set for  Wednesday . Hopefully she will be home *fingers crossed*. This week we had exchanges! I went with Sister Kearon and went to the other area (Tahapara area). I met this old couple named Dave and Molly. They aren't members, but Dave went to church college and has many friends that are members. They are very kind and gave us hot chocolate and biscuits (cookies). It wasn't even cold outside (like maybe 60 degrees) and they were freezing! It makes me laugh.  Also, this week we went to the church for a rescue night (where we and members go out and visit less actives) but no one showed up so the YW invited us to go with them. We decorated cakes.It was fun! (A no

Dear everyone, I hope you are all doing well! This week Sister Brothers and I tried so many times to visit people, but they were never home. It was kind of frustrating, but that's okay! This week will be better I hope! This week we got a referral from the Elders and have a new investigator. Her name is Donna and Sister Brothers and I feel like she is looking for a church. She goes to like 3 in Gisborne (they all have free food haha). I'm really excited to get to know her better.  This week during study time I've really been focusing on reading my Book of Mormon. Before my mission I only read it one time and that was so I could finish Young Womens. But as I've read it now I've noticed how it really does answer questions of the soul. Every day I learn something that will help me during that day. If you haven't been reading the BoM, I challenge you to start reading it.  Thank you all for the support! It's not easy being so far away, but It'
