Kiwi Katy - Serving in Hamilton

This is a little message that was posted onto my (Mom's) facebook page from Debs McClutchie, a sister in the ward Katy has been serving in Gisborne. "We are so Greatful for the Sister whom served in this part of the Lords Vineyard and taught amongst our people we are so blessed to have her in our Stake she has been transferred to Hawera on the opposite side of the North Island of NZ on the coast."

Hi everyone! I hope you are all well!  This morning we went and took Sister Mavae to the bus stop because she is finishing her mission! So I'm in a trio right now with Sister Baylosis and Sister Joyce! It's really fun! I should find out tomorrow if I;m transferring or not!  I think I'll be okay if I stay. If I leave I will be sad, but I'm ready to go. I' m sure when I go to say goodbye to Debs McClutchie (if i leave)  she will tell you what happens haha.  Don't have a lot of time because we went to Talaga Bay and stuff.  I'm a little sunburned! Today we had to go take our car to the tyre place because 2 of our tyres were flat.  but it was a good day! Arohanui, Sister Grant

The Gisborne Zone - otherwise known as the greatest zone in the world! Hi everyone!  This week was really good! On Tuesday  we had district meeting at the Kartchners' flat because Elder Ellsworth (Elzy) was sick and we all thought he would feel more comfortable being at the Kartchners'. We also had exchanges and Sister Mavae was with me in my area. On Wednesday  (HAPPY BRITHDAY GRANDMA!) Sister Mavae and I went and had lunch with Lisa and we had KFC (I love KFC!) On Thursday  we walked to appointments in the morning because it was such a nice day. On Friday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!) we had a Thanksgiving at the Kartchners' flat. It was really fun! Everyone brought food and it was fun as! Saturday  we had an activity out at Browns Beach and we had a pioneer trek. It was so much fun! It was cold as though! We had handcarts and everything! It was so cool. Here are six strange things about New Zealand: 1. They call dinner tea here. 2. ...

Kia ora everyone!  How are yous doing? This week was really good! We had zone conference which is always really fun! We stayed in Tauranga with Sister Brothers!! It was so good to see her again! I forgot to take pictures though... what an egg... It was fun though!  I'm sorry I can't really remember this week really well. Oh! So yesterday I was supposed to give a talk in sacrament meeting but then right before it started I was told my talk is postponed until next month so I was like sweet as! But I was also confused as to why it was postponed, but I soon found out! We got a new bishopric! So our bishop was Bishop Hayward, but now it is Bishop Brown, and the 1st Counselor is still brother Enoka. But the 2nd was brother Pihama, but now it's brother Lauti! So that was pretty crazy! It was a good week though! All of our appointment that were set got cancelled, but thats okay. On Saturday  we were supposed to have a pioneer trek activity that Brother McClutchie w...

Hi everyone!  Sorry about last week's email. It was lame as. But this week was good. I can't believe it's November! Its crazy! Time flies. There is Christmas stuff up in stores now but it's weird because it's getting warm and doesn't seem like November at all! I have lost the cord for my camera somewhere, but when/if i find it ill send pictures.  This week we did service for an investigator. We mowed her lawn and pulled weeds and stuff. We did it as a district so that was heaps of fun! Halloween was also this week, but it isn't as big here as it is in America. Also is it getting cold? It's getting hot as here! It's the World Cup for rugby league and New Zealand is hosting it. But the other day Tonga and Samoa played and they are rivals. We got a text form the APs telling us not to go out on busy streets because there would be fights and stuff. Not so much in Gizzy but in the bigger places like Tauraga and Whakatane and Hamilton and South Auckland...
