Week 35

Kia Ora Whanau! This week has been a pretty weird and different week. Some days felt like forever and some felt like 10 minutes long haha weird how the mission life works. But in the end we got 1 person to church this week so that's an improvement! Tuesday we had District Council as always it was pretty good this week and we got heaps of stuff organized and sorted out so that was good. We did some door knocking and not too much success but we did find one person that we might be able to follow up with some other time so that will be cool. We than had a lesson with Maasi and we went over the baptismal interview questions with him and was preparing him for his baptism that was supposed to be on Saturday but sadly it has to be moved all the way to June because of the mom having to work weekends and not getting work off.. So we decided to push it back that far so that the whole family could be there which is for the best! Wednesday was pretty long haha. We started off the day doing our usual driving around trying to visit people and our car brakes started to play up and make bad sounds so we decided to stop and check it out. Ended up calling the mission office about it all and set up an appointment for the car in Auckland for Friday. The rest of the day we were walking so that was great haha Thursday we were able to do a bit of driving cause we did a test drive for the car and things started to get better and than later the noises stopped so mustve been a rock or something who knows. So we got more work done and was able to make some less active visits and set up appointments for them later on. Friday we spent ALL day in Auckland walking around trying to find stuff to do while our car was in the dealership for 6 hours not even getting worked on until the last hour so that was pretty useless haha. Nothing else happened just driving and studies. Saturday we spent the whole day trying to visit some people that were found by last missionaries and trying to see if they were still interested or not. So we ended up doing heaps of driving to get all that done. Not too many people were interest or home so we ended up doing more door knocking. Sunday was pretty good. We had Maasi show up to church so that was great. We taught the youth during Sunday school and they were awesome. Super small class but it was fun and we played a few games after the lesson. It was fun. We were finally able to visit a less active family and the husband completely opened up to us and told us how he's trying really hard to come back and get back on track. So we will now be visiting him way more cause he says he needs help staying motivated and support. So we are excited for that family especially cause they have a 9 year old that needs to be baptized. So things look promising for them! Over all this week was pretty good. We have our typical ups and downs and you wouldn't think it but working with 3 missionaries rather than 2 is way harder cause we all want to be involved but sometimes it's hard to get everything to work out like that haha. Oh well the Lord knows we can do it so we must press on! I hope you all had a great week! I hope as things are getting warmer over there you all are enjoying it. As for the great New Zealand it's starting to get cold haha so here we go into my first winter! I love you all and hope you have a great week! Ofa atu! Love, Elder Wilding
