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 was putting together, but it was so cold that we cancelled and will do it next Saturday. 

  I've met 2 people who have served in Idaho. One is Elder Kartchner. He served in Idaho Falls many moons ago haha. The other is a sister in the other ward who served in Sugar City a few years ago. Such a small world.

 I thought of something else for Christmas. I could use one of those cute dresses. You know the comfy ones.

 Here are some odd tings I have learned in New Zealand. Here they call a counter a bench.So one of my first weeks here we were at Lisa's and she told me I could just put her plate on the bench and I walked into her kitchen and was like, "Lisa there is no bench in here," and she thought it was so funny. Everyone uses the vacuums that have the hose and the thing attached behind so when you vacuum. It's weird. When you vacuum you drag it behind you. Also, when I first got here I didn't understand what people were doing when they say "as" with everything.  haha! I've learned it just emphasizes words, I guess. Like if something it huge you can say big as and it means the same thing ya know. I forgot I even did that haha! It really confused me at the beginning haha! I thought people were swearing all the time.

 Tell everyonen I love them!

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 ...

Welcome to the West Side!

Hello everyone!  This week was transfers! So I am now serving in the Hawera Branch in Taranaki. I went from one side of the island to the other!  I had to ride a bus about 6 hours to Hamilton and then I went like 4 hours to New Plymouth and then we had to drive like 45 minutes to Hawera. M y comp is Sister Schrere (she's from Scranton, PA!!) She is really sweet! She goes home in April. My area is huge! It covers from Normanby down to Waverly (the bottom of the Hamilton mission). So its really different from Gizzy! But its good. And, we don't do any singing. Yesterday, because it was Testimony Meeting, a little boy got up (he's American and I love their family). He gets up and says, "Today I'm going to talk about looking for the good things in life." Then he goes on to say when he grows up he wants to be a miner and he says, "And one day I was just thinking about mining and I thought 'you just gotta mine for the good things in life'"....
