Week 73

Kia Ora Whanau!

This week has been a busy one. We had a lot going on and it went by pretty quick.

So to catch everyone up this transfer I have been asked to train a new missionary from Salt Lake City and his name is Elder Dansie. It has been pretty good so far and definitely different. He's a really good missionary already also. We also Whitewashed the area so we have no clue who anyone is. 

Tuesday we had District Council and I had to lead that for the first time in over 6 months so that was weird haha. We later that day we did a lot of finding trying to help my new companion get into the Grove of things. We spent a lot of time trying to get to know the ward as well.

Wednesday we had mtc exchanges and spent the whole day door knocking and helping them get into the work. We tried to visit some members as well that evening.

Thursday we got with some other elders and went to go and do some family History that was pretty good. We had to drive to another area to do a Baptismal interview. We got stuck in traffic so that kinda ruined the rest of our day. We did some tracting as well so that was great.

Friday me and some other district leaders had to go to a training with President. It was really good on counciling with the district. It was also helpful for other callings in the church if I ever get one later in life. We had lunch with all of them and then drove back to our areas. We than did weekly planning and other studies so that was pretty much our day.

Saturday we did a missionary prep trade off with the Tongan ward here and spent the whole day working with youth it was pretty fun. Heaps of door knocking and I hope the kids like it haha.

Sunday Elder Dansie and I gave talks on our first Sunday at church so that was cool. So our first Sunday in this area was stake Conference so we didn't really get to meet anyone in our ward so we had to go this whole week still looking for all our members haha. We got to visit quite a few of them Sunday so that was great.

This week was good. We didn't have anything too exciting but it was good.

I hope you had a great week as well!!
