Hey everybody Happy Halloween!!! It's pretty lame here nobody really does anything for Halloween! Oh well! We were thinking if we door knocked tonight and people reject us we could just say it's a costume and see if they'll give us candy!! haha but no way we'd do that!! Well how is everyone?! I hope everyone is doing wonderful!! 


This last week was absolutely wonderful!! It was so much fun this last week:) We went and spent pday in Kaikohe and than went and worked with the elders in Kataia.  The furthest north you get in the mission.  Elder Pohahau up there is a Tongan who definantely is the biggest man I've ever seen in my life and he snoors like a troll!! He's the most humble faithful missionary I have ever seen though! As you get with most of the islanders! Speaking of which it's weird to not have an islander companion! So for pday what did we do? Of course we played touch all day! It was legit though there was heaps of investigators and members that came and we even had a ref so it was way fun!! Can't move like I used to and now the body is more wiggly and jiggly than ever!! haha Oh well!! Comes with the call! Especially here in New Zealand. After that we just have gone crazy in our area! It's fun when we haven't been able to talk to to much people because of lessons we'll drive down to the city and just go nuts chasing people and such!! haha That's always a highlight of the week. 

 So Raiha and Narissa-may have still been in Auckland so their baptism is "supposed" to be the 5th now.. It better be! Old man jibs keeps gettin in the way with his work!! So we'll see, but the Lord provided for us anyways! So last Sunday in Whangaruru those mean bay areas.  We found an 8 year old boy whose been going to church there for awhile who set up his own baptism!! haha so we meet him last Sunday, go talk with his mom.  The mom asks can we get him baptized next weekend? We're like of course!! haha We record check the mom because apparently she was baptized in a creek when she was young by she doesn't know who.. Turns out no record at all so the boy is a convert.. haha crazy eh?! We teach him sunday morning get everything ready as fast as possible and he's baptized and confirmed on Sunday!!! :) So we ended with 3 for the month which was a huge blessing!! Miracles are everywhere up here!! WE're loving it!@!!! :) Next weekend we have those two, than the next another one in Whangaruru which is really fun because they haven't baptized for awhile so these two months will be really good for them!! So weekends of baptisms! The Lord is just so loving and merciful!! We don't deserve all this but we're very grateful for it all!! I'll a send pic of the man Duncan:) 
What else?.. Hmm not to sure! Oh one day things just collapsed! a miracle set we had Adrian that I think I spoke of last week.. Suddenly the adversary got to him and he just dropped us!! It was really sad! It was hard he was so great!! Hate it when things like that happen on the mission.. Best of times and worst of times at some points!! I just don't think people understand how important our message is to their eternal welfare!!! That's why we're out here chasing people!!! The blessings are on their way:) Well I'm grateful for all of your support, love, and prayers from home!! I need them!! I miss you all and pray for you as well!! Have a wonderful week I love you all so much!!!!

Love Elder Devey
