New Zealand Fern Tree

This past week was good! 

I've been working a lot on these videos for a fireside which is Sunday! They are called "His Love."  They are based off of the Church messages called "His Grace"! It will be interviews piled with pictures of people from the ward I'm serving in and their conversion stories and finding the gospel! It should be really cool. I will have them done by this week. 

We had Zone Training this past week as well where we learned a lot about rules and how they're tightening down on them. Which is okay.. The only one that is weird is how we can't use any church studying material to learn more and simpler! We probably won't even be able to read ensigns soon since they aren't in the official missionary reference library which is crazy. I was starting to really enjoy using student manuals and things like that for my studies but I guess no more. haha
We also had some Rugby practices for the local High school! It's going well! A lot of the kids recognize us on the streets now and say Hey instead of growling us haha. It's cool to learn about rugby as well!

Haynze

We taught Haynze the Gospel of Jesus Christ this week and I invited him to be baptized! He said yes and he is super keen! He is so excited to be a member and to get the priesthood and help the Deacons Quorum grow! (to 1 member) hahaha. He is already looking at the future hoping to serve a mission and everything! He will be my first baptism and I'm so excited! He is a great kid and asks a heap of questions! He's the man.

We spent 13 hours straight in the chapel yesterday due to meetings and rescue visits, cottage evenings, potluck, and song practice for those with numbers in next weeks fireside! Suchhhh a long day.

Elder Withers

And i'm sad to say bye to my lovely companion. Elder Garisun Withers. He is THE man. I have learned so much from him and he has been such a great example to me of being a proper and obedient missionary. He taught me how to get things out of my studies and how to be a great leader. I'm excited for him to experience new things as he goes to Nelson to take the Zone Leader position there, but.. I will miss him so much. Thanks for everything Sole.
