Week 89

Hi Everyone :D

Yeah it was a good birthday. Sis Rudd called and sung happy birthday The Sprouse's had us over for a roast (and the Pretious' came too) Primary sung to me once church finished and gave me a card, Elder Sprouse announced it bc he was conducting sacrament meeting yesterday and L's girls, G and A, made some cupcakes that afternoon. ZL even text haha

This week has been a bit slow. we haven't been able to catch up with W,

H has moved, still in the area though, but he had a disagreement with his housemates.

M said he doesn't want to see us at the moment because he is busy.

The AP's came and stayed the night on Wednesday, they were on there way thru from Taranaki and their GPS took them the back road which leads them to us haha Elder Tibbitts was surprised how small our ward list was. so I don't remember if I told you but at zone conference Pres Rudd said "I'm going to be mad if I find out anyone has been tracting for more than 1 hr in a week" so when the APs came we said well what do you want us to do!! We don't have enough members to be working with! so they said you can be the exception you can tract... so we have been with little success. but we can only keep trying.

And we had the A&P show haha (not AP show :P) agriculture and something haha went bc everyone in town was there so just go and be seen and all. talked with some people there shame they're from Gisborne

J was at church again yay! and he had a button up shirt on, usually he'll come with a basketball jersey on or something. he's doing good lost his job at the meat works which is good bc they aren't great influences there but it's all good bc he found another job with the shearing gang.

we found some blackberries on a path. Yum! (See photo!)

We mowed M's lawn and the Sprouse's lawn this week because they both have house inspections this week. by the time we got to the Sprouse's, it started to rain a bit so we did it running until it started raining too much and they told us to stop (lucky it was already done haha)

No I haven't heard anything about the Haka video. speaking of which, I did the Haka on top of a mountain we climbed for P-day, I forgot some of the actions so I just made it up as I went haha. They used it (the mountain) in filming Lord of the Rings and Mount Doom is in the background. (you can see the photos in the other email) We climbed up, tried to feel like Ether or Moroni or Mormon hiding in the 'cavity of a rock'.

love you all, have a great week!
