This week week was pretty good! After a few days of being in the flat sick we were able to go out and get some work done it was great!
We started off with the Auckland City Mission on Tuesday and went to pack food and some hygiene packages as well. It was really fun. We get to do it quite often and it just gets us out with other missionaries and doing some work together. We also went on Wednesday and that time we served food at the other building. It's always fun getting to help out in that way as well. It's always a humbling experience!
Thursday we had a full day of finding planned out and then that morning right as we were about to leave we received some referrals and we were able to go and visit them. They are from Brazil and we taught about the restoration and invited them to read and pray and now we will visit them again hopefully this next week. Later that day as well we went and saw a South African couple and taught the both of them about the restoration and invited them to do the same and set up a time to go and see them on on Monday. Pretty successful day!!
Friday we had weekly planning and started an exchange with some elders. I went with Elder Tenney from Orem Utah and we went ou and did some finding and didn't really see much but Elder Yardley and the other elder went and had a lesson with a Mexican couple that we found the previous day! They were very accepting and now we will be teaching them as well! So that was pretty good!
Saturday we ended the exchanges and Elder Yardley and I did some finding through Facebook and went to go follow up on some potential people and we sat down with another lady and shared the plan of Salvation with her and will see her again on Wednesday hopefully! We had a pretty solid day.
Sunday we had a pretty crazy one. While we're were walking to church I talked to a guy and he said we could come by his place another time to share a bit with him. That was pretty neat. We than had a guy that Elder Yardley talked to on an exchange walk to church and we sat by him and helped him understand what we do during sacrament. Then after sacrament a Chinese man walked in and started asking about the church as well. We had a member that speaks mandarin talk to him and we hope to see him again or send him to the Chinese Branch. Later that day we went to go and visit a couple we taught a few weeks before Christmas and we set up a time to visit with them next week! Things were going super well on Sunday!
Overall this week has been great!! One thing for sure I learned this week is New Zealand is more culturally diverse than I thought!! We found 2 South African couples, a Mexican couple, two Brazilian guys and one Maori person to teach this week! Absolutely crazy how many different kind of people live here! We asked the members to fast for us and the work in the Howick area on the first Sunday of the year and we definitely know that because of that we have found so many people! Fasting does work! It might be hard but it works! I hope you all have a great week! And enjoy the cold😎😂
