This week has been a blur. It went by so fast! It was amazing seeing my family over the weekend though!! I sure miss them a lot. That was definitely the highlight of this week!

The other days this week have been full of planning and preparing for yet another fireside! We are handing out mission calls to members of the ward to participate in the Member MTC! We will be training our members here in Wainuiomata to teach and invite simply. And in a non threatening way(: Hopefully more referrals come out of this because we currently get about 0 a week hahahah. So I will have a compilation of people opening calls soon for everyone to see(:

We had our sports night again! Every friday seems to be getting funner and funner. You can definitely see a unity in the ward because of firesides and activities where everyone works together! It's really awesome. I really enjoy having members around to be with and to work with! We play volleyball and NBD but my team didn't lose once.. 💁

We have also continued to help kids train on the high school 2nd 15's rugby team (: They are a good group of kids but they are pretty UnCo.. (uncoordinated. Yes they have slang for that word) They just don't know how to like play sport it seems like haha. They tackle standing straight up and there have been a plethora of injuries due to UnConess. And they got absolutely smashed on saturday. But they are improving!!! hahaha.

It's also getting very cold. The wind here is insane!!! it's hard to fall asleep at night! They call it windy welly. It is very cold wind coming from the south pole. And it is very humid here so it's really cold air as well haha. Gotta love it though!!

Interesting fact - Our mission actually covers a small part of Antarctica. Sadly no missionaries have ever been assigned there. But pretty cool..
