Week 84

Hey Everyone :D

This week was crazy, 

We helped Sis G strip wallpaper, let's just say I'm never buying a house that has wallpaper... it takes forever to get that off the walls! But before that we had a lesson with 'Jack' and at the end of the lesson he said that the night before he had been thinking about how he could tell us that would be our last visit but he said he couldn't do it, it felt wrong and that the lesson we had that day had given him a better understanding and that he said he would give it a try before giving up on it. That was really cool. 

We went all the way to mission office on Thursday after our exchange (well more splits) with the ZL in Te Awamutu, to pick up a bike rack in case of transfers which now we don't really need (see below 'Pres email') haha But at least it was good to see Elder Marsden. And then we got a call from the AP's wondering why on earth they saw us up there HAHAHA it was all good though. 

Saturday we met K (P's  grandon) who's moved from Brisbane YAY! a young person!!!! he reminds me of B a little bit, just the stuff he says. Mowed Pres C's lawns  

Elder Johnson is going to Manurewa, I'm staying, no idea who my companion is, Elder Morley is ZL here now Elder Sialoa is going to Rotorua ZL, and transfers will be a little different for us here's what Pres said in his email: 

" Attention!!!!! Effective this week we are implementing a new policy regarding Transfers. We will no longer be having "Transfer Meetings" where all those transferring come to a central location. Instead each transferring missionary will transfer by use of public transportation (Bus). During this process missionaries will be allowed to be without their companion. The cost and coordination of the transfer will be taken care of by the mission. Zone Leaders will be given instructions regarding the transfer logistics. It is very important that you adhere to the following guidelines and instructions. Each transferring missionary is allowed 2 bags (25 kilos each) and 1 carry on (5 kilos). Take your bike helmet with you (wear it if necessary). You should include your sheets and pillow case in your bags. You will not be able to take your blankets or your bikes with you. They should be left in your old area and use what is in your new area. "

so that should be interesting, packing would be a pain, I'll probably only ever get one like that. if I even get one that is, Pres Chadderton would be happy for me to stay here till May hahaha. 

Love you, have a good week
