A new companion

This week has been another crazy week.  We had transfers so we spent Tuesday night in the Pahiatua flat. We didn't get there till 12:00am. Elder Chong had to pack all his gear so it was absolutely crazy!

I have a new companion, Elder Suard. Elder Suard is awesome.  He is from Tahiti and he knows 4 languages! He bodybuilds, he boxed and does heaps of stuff. I am excited to be his companion, we are going to have a great time here.

We also had a boil up with the Riwai Family

Awesome Riwai Family

After picking up my new companion, Elder Suard, we headed off on exchanges with Pahiatua so that they would be finished early, during the exchange we went to the Waihi Falls and to the Ocean. We were on our way to visit someone and because we were only 10 minutes away from the ocean we thought we would stop and grab some pictures. It was a beautiful day and I hadn't been to the ocean on a beautiful day yet!

Then on the way to Pahiatua we took a slight detour to visit Waihi falls! it was in the middle of no where, but it was awesome! You could hear the water running from where we parked the car.

The countryside is beautiful here. So green!

Unfortunately, as a bonus, we found a random dead sheep. We had to take a picture!

I love New Zealand. I love the people. I love the countryside. But more than anything I love missionary work.  It is truly a blessing to serve here and to love this people. I am grateful for the blessings I've had this past week.

Ka Kite!
