3 months and 15 pounds later I am still doing great! In this last week not a whole lot has happened.
I went on exchanges with my District Leader who had his 1 year mark on my birthday so we got to celebrate together which was fun! We went to Kaka point and Nugget point for the day and went on a little adventure just walking around just enjoying the ocean and beautiful beach!

Gore has been pretty tough.. finding people is near to impossible here. With such a small branch, not many members help out or share word of the Elders. So we are pretty much on our own. Lot's of door knocking. Which so far hasn't gotten us any new investigators or anything. Sometimes Satan tries to get into your head by telling you that you aren't working hard enough, or your not a good missionary. But lucky for me and the other missionaries out around the world, we have the chance to have an EXTREMELY close relationship with Heavenly Father, and I know when he is working in my life, I'm a successful missionary. All it takes is patience and prayer through long suffering. D&C 24:8.

Many of you may be wondering how my accent is coming along... It's not. hahahahah It's too hard. No person from america could train there mouth to move as lazily as a kiwi or maori moves their mouth 😅 But i'll keep at it!!! I'm going to start working on my maori phrases as well. I've been learning a few lines in Tongan from my companion which is super cool. like... "Oua nake eke omai taimini" (That's for Christian Bain).

Anyways!! Love you all! Please email me with updates about life and stuff (:

Ofa atu.
