Week 3 

Hello everyone

Thanks for the weather :) (I carry my raincoat everywhere anyways haha)

God is looking out for me again this week - got chased by a BIG ANGRY dog on our bikes, we were on trade offs, so Elder Toani from Kiribati (pic included) was with me. just riding to an appointment on the road when this thing starts chasing us, just peddled like CRAZY - we survived - all good.
My bike almost accident was like I don't know I like hit/scraped something with the wheel and went all wobbly and swaying and I should've wiped out and had a massive scrape down my side bc it was downhill too so we had some speed but I didn't even fall off.

well.. Dad's not alone... I'm sick too - got a cold but still out working hahaha. and I CAN"T HIDE!!!!!!!!!!  TELL DAD BRO ONEKAWA SAYS HI!!!

I was in sacrament sitting behind him and he was saying how he went to Sydney and it was so busy and bigger than NZ and that he had to drive to church offices (this was a while ago 2004 I think) and I'm like "oh my dad and auntie work there" and he goes "oh who's your auntie?" I say "Lynne Hunt", "and your dad?", me:"Stoo", Bro Onekawa: "STOO!!!!!" He just about fell over hahaha "STOO has a son old enough to be on a mission?!?! you the oldest??", "youngest". "WHAT?!?!! he hid that well" so by the sounds of our conversation He knows Dad quite well hahahaha 2 DEGREES!!! 

no new investigators :/ but Kenny seems to be getting there slowly and his brother joined in with the lessons (they're an indian family, Kenny is 30, Maneesh is 24 maybe??) so I guess Maneesh could be a new investigator haha. We got dropped by one of our other investigators; " I found something in another church ays so nah don't wants to like waste your fellas time or nuffin" 

but one of the less actives came to church - YAY. the members here are so funny hahaha, one of the sisters in the ward (she's a samoan) always calls me Mr Bean hahahaha.

My friends emailed - yyaaayyy and I got the YSA too :) letter so if iIdon't get time to email Isaac let him know and now I finally have some pictures of family for when the other missionaries ask (there is one photo with dad in it and one with taylor in it)

It's like a granny flat that is a duplex granny flat bc its behind a house and then its split it 2 ... Generally we sit and shiver for our morning exercise HAHA but I've been trying to do push ups.... does Taylor know its just a dumbell not a bar.... his exercises sound like they need a bar like he has. but I'll see if i can do them anyways.

So I lost my camera cable at the internet shop and I was going to buy one but the shop owner just gave me one so hopefully its the same and works for charging :/

and yeah I found out; we don't have cockraoches in NZ - just fleas haha I keep finding random bites on my legs and arms - can't tell if its our flat or other peoples homes.

and MILK IS HARD TO CARRY BACK ON A PUSHBIKE hanging it on the handle bars and riding back is ridiculous.

Love you all
