Kia ora everyone! This week has been pretty interesting and fun! Monday we had district pday and went on a ferry ride to the center of Auckland it was pretty cool! We than went to the museum and spent a few hours there looking through the war history and the old Moari tools and antics it was so interesting and really fun!
Tuesday we went to the Auckland city mission and served the poor again it was super busy that day and man were we running around trying to make sure we had everything stocked up and ready to go. It was way fun and exciting. I love going there and getting to talk to the people!
Wednesday was alright. We had district council and I gave a training on goal setting and how to help achieve them. It was pretty fun. We did heaps more tracting and we went to go visit a less active bit his step dad opened the door and we ended up talking about his life for like 30 minutes or so. He's about 85 I think and told us all about what he did and it was so interesting. I love listening to people talk about the days back in the 60s or 70s haha.
Thursday we spent most of the day tracting and visiting or attempting to visit members haha. Nothing to special went down that day haha.
Friday we had weekly planning and than went with Brother Prasad to do some gardening for a friend of his and that was pretty fun. Weeds are kinda easy to pull here they dont root down like back home haha. It was super hot though but I think it's better than being cold aye! We than had lunch at the Prasads and than went to go tract again. We know there is someone out there for us we just need to go get them.
Saturday was pretty fun. All our plans went our the window and than we got a call to fill the font for Bishop Pillings granddaughters baptism. So we got to attend that and that was really fun. The members support each other so much and I love it! Sad thing about Saturday was the family that was supposed to feed us apparently went to the beach and forgot about us so we ended up getting ourselves dominos pizza haha. Pretty fun day though and we even talked to a potential person and he said he was interested in learning more about Joseph smith and what happened with him so hopefully that turns out good. He is a scientist that believes that God created everything not science so he's on the right track! We hope to see him this next week.
Sunday we went to church and than had to take off to a members house to take them the sacrament. This lady's husband has cancer and her son had a stroke a few years back and is partially disabled. So they aren't able to go to church sometimes when her sons legs get bad.. but it was great to visit with them and help them out with all we could. Had another lesson with Selena and her sister on the plan of salvation this time. It was amazing. We had a great lesson and at the end of the lesson we set her sister Erica to be baptized on the 16th of February! I'm excited for her and hope that this will be another big step for the rest of the family excepting the gospel into their lives! We attended another ward baptism as well and got to visit with bishop and his wife about the baptism for Erica. The ward seems very excited and is super supportive! Very exciting day. Sadly Jimmy didn't show up to church so we didn't get to talk to him.. hopefully next week though.
This week has been really good. It's nice seeing the work move forward in my district we have 7 people set to be baptized and they are all solid sets and it's going to be an amazing next few weeks! Transfers will be coming up soon so we will see if I will get to attend Erica's baptism. I'm hoping I stay for 1 more transfer!
I hope you all had a great week. I love you all and wish you the very best!
Ofa atu!
Love,
Elder Wilding
