December 8th, 2013

Hey family,
This has been a great week with some sadness while I went around with my companion and he said goodbye to a lot of families, but I'm excited to work with my new companion Elder Matai'a. An awesome family that we have been wroking with came to church yesterday! They are Less Active and moved down recently from Auckland. The son, who just turned 17, brought a few friends as well! Even though him and his friends went to the english ward, I was still happy they all came to church! The mom is also trying to stop smoking and she is doing very well. That was definitely the best miracle for the week. We also ran into this funny guy from India who goes doorknocking selling electronic stuff. The funny thing is we ran into him the next day too, and then we ran into some of his coworkers. He was amazed that us young people leave our families and do something as crazy as serving a mission, and then I told him missionaries usually save up and work for the oppurtunity to serve a mission, and that was crazy to him too haha.
heres a picture of us atan unveiling, after the ceremony we went to the gravesite of one of the boys who past on a couple years ago from an awesome family in our ward. Everyone here loves and remembers him, he and his family are like the Heart of Flaxmere, where I am currently serving. Well, Love and miss you all!
