Hey every one NZ is AWESOME!!!! I am at my first area right now and it is pretty good. We are at a little town at the bottom of lake Tupo calle Turangi, and there is like no one here. We proselyted and knocked every door in 3 days. That is how small this place is. But we are teaching a couple of Families. The Thompson family is probs my favorite here in turangi but the dad is the national Jiu jitsu champion here in NZ. Actually that was the only family. Work is slow, but it is still there. We will be going fishing soon and the trout here are Huge! The Average is 5lbs. They are pretty too. One of the nice things about our flat is that we never run out of hot water because we are right on top of a giant lava pocket. we also have a tiny as branch of about 20 ish people on a good week. When I had my first conversation with a Maori guy here, It was unbelievable how thick his accent was. You couldn't even understand him, even though they guy was speaking english, he sounded like he was speaking in tongues. My trainer is actually from utah in Richfield and he is pretty sweet. He has gone Elk hunting with Karl Malone. If you guys go to my mission page or the Hamilton NZ mission page you can see some more pics of me doing service and also some on the Turangi and Tupo face book pages. Turangi is also at the base of the mount doom and the crazy forest in all of the lord of the rings movies, though I haven't seen any hobbits yet. Everything is expensive as here.
Love Elder Allart
