Transfers Week! (Crazy Stuff Going Down)

Kia ora whanau,

This week is transfers! Transfers happen every six weeks. We get the call tomorrow and will see what's going to happen. I'm pretty sure that I will stay in Gizzy and Sister Brothers will leave. I am almost done training! YAY!! I'm too impatient with transfers news. On Thursday the people will leave and new comps will come. We will find out on Tuesday though. We already know the Elders' transfer news because the Zone Leaders both left! Elder Van Hauwart has finished his mission so he left and flies home tomorrow, and his comp Elder Latu is transferring to Hamilton so he left this morning, too, with Elder Van Hauwart. So Elder Ellsworth (our current district leader) is going to move to the other ward (I think) and become Zone Leader. The Elder he is training right now will have a follow up trainer. Some crazy stuff is happening, aye! 

All is well with teaching. We have some people we are teaching. We set a girl for baptism yesterday (December 16!) and one of our investigators stopped drinking coffee! So yay!

This week we also had exchanges and Sister Schwendinger was with me in my area. It was really good. Oh, and last night, we went to a fireside in Nuhaka and it was amazing! It was about families and it was so cute! This little boy spoke and it was the cutest thing I have ever seen in my entire life! Like no joke! It was cute as! And then the Elders sang and it was so amazing. They also had us, the Sisters,  sing because the speakers went to the wrong chapel and we had to wait like 30 minutes for them to come. So we sang for everyone. It was alright. I much rather enjoy listening to others sing than doing it myself. Oh well. Oh yeah, and then today pday is cut an hour short because we have to go sing as this world peace thing... ugh! oh well! We sing heaps here! 

It was a good week! 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...
