Another Weekly Email

My dad, Elder Ellsworth; my brother, Elder Benson; me; and my mom, Sister Brothers
Kia Ora Whanau,

 This week we had zone conference up in Tauraga and it was amazing! I drove there and we got there safely! :) But zone conference was so good. President gave a training on agency and I learned heaps. Then the AP's gave a training on the Book of Mormon and it was really good! Conference was amazing aye!? I felt like heaps of the talks were on the Book of Mormon and it has really made me desire to have a stronger testimony of the Book of Mormon. I really liked how Elder Nelson asked if we had the choice between diamonds and the Book of Mormon what would we choose. I learned so much. 

 Just so you know, the gas and break pedals are in the same place on our cars, thankfully! Driving is going well. I drove through the Gorge to Whakatane on our way to ZC. It was good. We followed behind the senior couple here in Gizzy. Oh my goodness they drove SO SLOW! The speed limit was 100 and we went 70 at the max... UGH! It was really frustrating, but oh well. We got there safely.

 Grandma and Grandpa's Elder Matene emailed me! I gave him Grandma's email (hope that's okay with her) but he said he really loves them! This week LIsa called us and we rushed to her house and she told us she has a brain tumor. She has had so many trials and now she has this! Some talks at General Conference really helped her though, I think. She really enjoyed conference which made me really happy! 

 I'm getting so fat. The members just keep feeding us and I feel bad if I don't eat everything they give us. 

 I don't have a lot of time to email but i hope you are all doing well. I love you all so much!

The Week of Two Investigators!

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 c...

I'm Out in the Field!

Sister Brothers and Sister Grant (they are in a driving area) Hi everyone!  How are you?  I'm sorry I forgot to tell you when I was leaving the MTC. I left  on Wednesday  morning after everyone else had left so my heart was pretty numb at that point from saying goodbyes! I cried so much when I had to say goodbye to my district. It was really hard, and sometimes still is.  All the Wellington missionaries (Elder Smedly, Elder Harrigfeld, Elder Bishoff, Elder Tonumipea, and Sister Ontiveros) left  Tuesday  morning at  6:30 . So I had to say goodbye to them that night and it was so hard. Then Sister Olive and Elder Biranipwepwe left for Sydney  Wednesday  morning at like 4 so that was so hard. And then Elder Holt was supposed to leave at 7 but didnt end up leaving until like  7:30  so I got to say goodbye to him and that was so hard!  On Wednesday  morning I left the MTC and headed to Hamilton. I had to drive on ...

Hello! First Week at the MTC

This is me in front of the NZ MTC! Hi everyone!  How are you all? I am so happy and having so much fun! My comp is sister Olive (Oh-lee-vay) She is from Auckland (Literally like 10 min form MTC) and is going to Sydney North. My district is the Mormon District. There is Elder Smeldy (I sent a pic with him because we recognize each other). His comp is Elder Harrigfeld (He's from Idaho Falls). There is also Elder Bishoff, Elder Tonumipea (From Samoa). Then there is Elder Holt and Elder Bironipewpew (from Kiribati). We have a lot of fun! There is only one set of sisters in each district because there are so many more elders . Oh! After lunch everyday we go to sports. Sister Ontivaros and I play soccer with like 4 other sets of elders and it is so muddy because it rains all the time, but it is so much fun! The first day I was COVERED in mud (I forgot to take a pic) But it was so much fun!  The winter here is so nice! It hasn't been too cold except for when we went t...
