Hamilton to Home

Week 27

HELLO EVERYONE :D

This week has been great! when you get out there and just get to work and ave the faith that the Lord will make up the rest, miracles happen. We found a Chinese family (they don't speak very good english mind you) but one of the members in our ward served in Taiwan and so can speak with them they told her that they've come to church once before and that they felt good, but they go to another church because they speak chinese there and they can understand. I'm ke jeung lau (Elder Cox ...'ke' is for cox btw)

We also got a referral from Sis M - B - a 13 yo boy who moved into the ward and was being taught in his last area we've only met with him briefly once but I have a good feeling about him; I'm pretty sure he wants to be baptised. and he has really good friends for him too a member family that seems like they moved in with him. they say they've been going to church with them for 3 months or so.

I did meet Heather on this Sunday :D she said it was good to see a fellow Australian, and if I needed anything to just give her a ring and she'll probably drop something off for Christmas. she's in the ward that meets in the same chapel just in the afternoon instead.

No I didn't get to put up any trees :/ except this one... although I did get to put up some lights :P (see photos)

(yep guess who does the temple lights here :) THE MISSIONARIES HAHAHAHA so that was our service this week, go put up some temple lights for a few hours (oh and I guess for another service I fixed the sisters bikes too because they had a flat tyre)

btw Have you guys seen "He is the Gift" ? if not go watch it now christmas.mormon.org and share it on facebook. that's how you can get organised for christmas

Yes we're having a mission conference on the 16 Dec don't know too much about it yet.

Last P'day wen't to the park, there was a flying fox, I got some good pictures send them in next email.

You met Moses hey! yeah he's awesome, speaking of small world..........

GUESS WHO I MET DAD!!!!!!!! ELDER CHRISTIE FROM APM (he said he's the younger cooler one hahahaha) so we went over for a FHE and we had the lesson played some games. anyway we're having food after and he was talking about Elder Morley because they know his family and then he says to me "oh you'll see that everyone in NZ knows each other" and i said "dw i'm used to it, everyone knows my Dad back home..." and then after talking a little more he said something about serving in Perth and i go "what years", "ooohhh '88 (something in the 80's i can't remember)", "i think you'd know my Dad, he served in Perth too", "Cox....... Elder Cox..... looks a bit like you" so i grab my camera and show him the one picture i have of you guys (my setting apart) "OOHHH ELDER COX!!!! I remember him!" and so we kept talking and then he asked about Mum and where she's from and all this other stuff. pretty well - SMALL WORLD. HAHAHA

Recipes... ummm... ones with horse :P haha idk... cheap ones preferably, anything will do.

@DAD: it's not hard to buy spoons its just i'm doing perfectly fine with chopsticks... and yes, you can actually eat weetbix with chopsticks. isn't that right Elder Morley "yeah you did it last night bru" and I have had icecream for breakfast once or twice, that's actually really easy to eat with anything, spoon or no spoon.

@TAYLOR: Sister Paulo asked how you're doing (she knows you from Hebersham stake and me from Rewa) she's in one of the nieghbouring Zones but there was a fireside at the VC last night so and of the Hamilton area Zones get to go (Glenview, Temple View, Rotokari) HAHA you got rain too. I bet its warm tho!!
