I love being a missionary

The worth of souls. This week we had a Missionary Devotional. I had such a good time talking about missionary work with the members of the ward and we played a game in our workshop. We used money to represent worth, so I had people guess Canadian money and the worth of it. After the game we talked about the worth of a soul and how every soul is worth so much to our Heavenly Father. Man, it was such a good time. 

The weather here in New Zealand is crazy! The winds are mad, they go really really really hard in one direction so that at some points I feel as though I'm at a 75 degree angle no matter what way I face!  When it rains it looks like small drops of snow falling because they are getting pushed around in every direction before they hit something.

I got mail! It feels so good to get something in the mail, to tear it open and to know it came from home. 

I really love the ocean. It makes me appreciate what was made for us so we can enjoy life. We also got invited to go to the Matariki, the Maori New Year Celebration! It was really awesome!! they had the boys school come and sing Lord in Maori which I have to say is better than the original by far, and then they did some Poi dance and that was really cool. But the crowning event was the Haka they did. Holy man it was really awesome. I have a great video but can't email it because it's too big.  I will send my SD card home and you can post it that way.

I love it here in New Zealand, it's an amazing country.  But, I love being a missionary even more. I love having the opportunity to help people and show them where they can find people. It truly brings joy to my life.
