Kia ora Farmington Whanau! 

So, This week we Had it pretty good. First off, we found a new investigator her name is Anastasia and she sent a pic of me and Elder rich to Megan, in other words she is the bomb! She is super keen on learning the gospel and basically wants to be a member, she already has her own testimony on believing the church is true. 

Next, I had my second Tongan Dish called Loo and it is soo good. It is corned Beef wrapped in Taro leaves with Coconut Creme and it is the bomb! I just need to try horse next and dog. I have heard that dog is the best meat and that it is out of this world. One of the Tongan Elders started telling us stories about how they would kill the dogs back home and eat them, It is wild! We also found a Lizard in our Chapel this week named PIP and he was a bro. We let him back into the wild by the chapel though.

We also have been blessed so immensely with Investigators this past week we found two, a white guy named Shaun and then a Muslim named Emron. Emron is mainly looking into the church to see the similarities with Islamic religion and the LDS faith. We also had a awesome fireside last night were we had a Samoan brother get up and basically make fun of the Asians with their eyes while we had some Asian members in the congregation. It was legendary. 

We have had a awesome time here in New Zealand. This place is amazing I never want to go home. Every day the island people are so kind and loving and god blesses us so much with Amazing opportunities to help and serve these amazingly wonderful people. Aotearoa is amazing. I know that this is where I belong.

Kia Ora whanau!

Aoteaoroa Is Awesome! I love it so much here! We had a week of miracles this past week. We found three new investigators, and one of them being a family. It is awesome. We also found a pray-mantis named phillip. He held on to our car hood and we went 100 ks. Don't worry that is the speed limit here, haha. We biked 10 ks for a jar of nutella, haha. But we didn't really have a whole lot happen this week. I wish i could say i got into a fight with a couple of bears, but there are no bears here. I guess me and my manliness just scared them off the continent. Yea nah though NZ Is the bomb. We met a newain who is a hard out conspirist and spends way to much time on the internet. He believes that the world is covered by a glass dome and that only god can open the dome. Crazy people from Papa New Guinea Well and this car has some wack rims., pretty uneventful week, love you!

Kia ora Whanau!

So this week, was very eventful. This week, we were able to have my first two sets for baptism! It was awesome! We also went on splits and we were able to eat a donut from the first Krispy Kreme in New Zealand. It was Awesome! They are so good. I have been showing everyone in our ward how Andy showed us the put it in the Microwave for like ten seconds and it is soooo good. We also took some missionaries out on a Mtc Exchange this week and it was fun. I got a american going to the Vanuatu islands and he was fun. He was from Utah too. We talked about what has happened in the states since i have been gone. Wow! you guys have gotten a lot of snow. So I also hit my 4 month mark out here just barely and that was awesome! I also Met Elder Thompson from the seventy and he is pretty awesome! Elder Anderson from the 12 is here in New Zealand so we might actually get to talk to him, criss cross apple sauce make my dreams come true! We also ran out of food this week and that sucked.Last night we had 3 hardboiled eggs, and 8 chicken Nuggets! Ha It was the bomb.

We had this thing happen at church and well, I just tell the story, So, imagine, as a missionary, you have to greet people as they come into the chapel one by one with stuff like" Oh hi, how are you" and such when all the sudden, someone walked in with a beautiful dress, and I was like, aww man that  is a nice dress and I looked at the Lady's face, and she had a freaking beard! apparently, that is a normal thing here for the women to grow beards! It threw me for a loop though I was so confused. But after that, our week kinda just kept moving along. I had my interview with pres  Cummings last week and he told me that what Me and my trainer did in Turandgi; my first area that got shut down; Was a amazingly good job. He said that us elders did the better than what anyone has done down there, and that he had to shut it down because of the lack of  missionaries, and it was just something that I needed to hear. But I am so happy to be here now in Auckland. We had a guy go home in my intake. pretty sad, he will be missed.

Kia ora!

Hi guys, so basically, this week has been insane, I just don't have the cord with me to send the pictures. This week, I got my first Samoan feeds. HOLY FREAKING COW. They apparently like to feed you here until you literally have coming up, and then they are like,"OK would you want seconds?" Oh my gosh for real though these people will get offended if you don't take seconds, but besides that, the food is super good. Except over at the Tongan Elders flat. It was pretty bad. they decided to give pig head and a Tongan Potato. But for real they basically chopped off a pigs head and threw it into the oven and then said eat. It was nasty. The tongue taste a lot like a fried slug, and on the top the tongue has heaps of like matted hair. Then I went and had this potato. This potato was weird as. I took a big Bite into it and it has the outside of a potato but the inside of a very thick, over flowered pancake. I wouldn't suggest it because the food it extremely THICK

After that wonderful insping words of food, I want to tell you guys about our new friend. So we go and usually run at our park across the street, but our new friend likes to fight shadow ninjas on the grass. I call them shadow ninjas because there is literally nothing there and he is punching at the air and like kicking at the air too. It is the funniest thing in this world, because you can obliviously tell that the dude doesn't have any idea what he is doing, but he tries so hard to win. But, oh well.

next, i want to say that all people looking into going on a mission, learn about cars, because these people are putting me to the test with service. All of them are asking me to go and look at there cars and to try and fix them, but i just don't work like that, so i am telling people that i built cars back home, not fixed them. 

In closing, New Zealand is great, The poly families are good out here at feeding us, and we have shadow ninja warriors in our park. I miss you all so much, 

OFA ATU!!!
