Kia Ora!Well this week has been good! They start to all kind of seem the same though haha.
I had my first Hangi since i've been in New Zealand so that's cool! A Hangi is an Island way of cooking. They put lamb, pumpkin, chicken, pork and heaps of stuff in the ground with hot ash and coal and completely cover it with dirt and stuff and let it cook over like 14 to 24 hours or so. It was really good! A guy gave it to us for free when they're typically like 20 bucks! His name is pronounced like Irrroooo or something like that. It's weird but he is cool! Definitely a potential investigator!
We were also given a bag of like 20 Panikekes from the Samoan cart at the market for free! They are just scoops of pancake batter put into a deep fryer. YUM. They actually want us to teach them a lesson tomorrow! So that should be cool (:
Something else I bought at the market was this ollllld cigarette box full of old as stamps! The oldest one I found in there was an 1892 USA stamp!! Heaps of old ones from different countries and stuff so that's way cool.

We also went to the big museum in Wellington with the Youth for PDay! We had Companion study with them in the morning showing them some study habits and sharing and stuff then we shot over to the museum. Te Papa is the name of it. They had this awesome exhibit about New Zealand Kiwis that fought in wars and stuff and I guess Peter Jackson was in charge of it. He built these massive sculptures of soldiers and stuff. Like they were HUGE and SOOOO real looking. It was so cool. There was lots of cool photography of old Maori people and stuff as well which was really interesting.

We taught a couple of teenagers a short 5 minute restoration lesson about the Book of Mormon so hopefully they read it! They are quite strange. They said they "gave their lives to Jesus like a week ago bro.." and it's pretty crackup actually. They talk about asking Jesus questions and stuff by writing down on paper and how he responds to them is this: they write the first word and then I guess the Savior writes down the rest through their hand.. Weird. Hopefully they are willing to learn the truth and how to receive real revelation.
I'm falling more and more in love with this gospel. It is so true! Our Brother Jesus Christ rose! He lives and leads this church. I'm so grateful for the scriptures and the way they answer our questions. Even questions we didn't know we had! I'm grateful for my whakapapa as well!
Thanks for all the support and emails! I'd love to hear from more of yous!
