So this week, and last week was Christmas and New years. leading up to Christmas, I was able to do heaps of service with a guy who live down in Turangi (not a member yet)named H and we mowed about three or four lawns with different devices of destruction, including a scythe and a machete. It was wild. I was actually getting pretty good at mowing the lawn with the scythe; they don't trust the palangi with a machete oh well; I could pretty close down giving it a good haircut, but it ruined it when a actual lawnmower came through and made it look ok so what ever. Later, we dumped all of the grass at the Marea or Ma- RR-I ( Maori cathedral) for all of the palangi like my self. we were able to burn heaps of grass and a suit of a missionary that just left. Later, we had a mean feed and were able to go back to the flat. Christmas morning I was able to open all of my presents, and might I say, Thankyou to everyone who sent me something, you know who you are and I really can't express how grateful I am for receiving those gifts. WE used the Nerf pistols to hunt flies in our flat and now we have a hunting show about fly hunting. We did go play Rugby which was awesome, until I tripped my trainer and his knee went straight to my shin. It killed but we kept playing and later found out that I actually got my shin pretty good and turned it like a black yellowish kinda thing but it is healing up nicely now. Then I got to go and skype my Family on our Monday which was AWESOME!!! I MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!! I am still waiting on my Family Christmas Package but It is good it is just taking too long for little impatient me. Later I had my first Zone meeting this week and that was awesome seeing president for my interviews, and meeting everyone. I also got to go shopping a little up in Rotorua And get some shirts. Rotorua stinks though. It smells Like sulfur all the time. We finally were on our way down and now we are in the end of the transfer here and there is three transfers in this area until I move to the next one. I also got to mow another lawn with a broken lawnmower which was awesome! It didn't really have a Wheel on the back so we basically held up the mower the whole time and now we are swole as the goal. We gave each other haircuts this week and now I have got a fat line of obedience carved into my hair because a Samoan gave me the haircut. Oh well my combover hides it pretty well. It was really weird not being able to party or light fire works off for the new year. POW wars is next week, apparently all of the islanders form different cities get together and have a mean game of Rugby and just smash each other. We can't play because it is too dangerous but I can't wait to watch it! I miss you all!
Ofa Atu!
