Anyways not much new this week! We reset some people for December and more hiccups got in the way again.. Brownie has too many word of wisdom issues so he couldn't go in this weekend. And also our man Clayton had a death in the family, so the whole family took off to the funeral.. Nothing we could really do about both of those so we didn't have any baptisms last weekend. The whole mission in fact really struggled this month. They hit a low in baptisms since Feb 2010. We got like 83 when we usually get 150-200s. So there's a lot of repenting in the mission and rededication.. So we know December will be huge!
But ya this month was rough for our zone as well! On Tuesday we had a Zone Conference up here in Whangarei. That was a lot of fun! Some wonderful inspiring trainings that I know will help the missionaries a lot in their efforts. We made a big "title of liberty' flag for our zone and did a lot of other fun things! There has been a companionship in the zone that has needed a lot of correcting as of late, so we have to keep trying to keep them in line! Frustrating! I just don't understand some things missionaries do it's pathetic. Well anyways ya the conference was very good and it helped me out personally a lot as well:)
This saturday the Whangarei areas had a few baptisms though so we went to all of those and of course there's nothing better than watching a baptism! And this Sunday we did our usual sunday schedule and went out to our favorite Whangaruru! :) Love it out there! Had a massive lunch with the beloved Saddler family. As some of you may know before the mission I hated seafood!! Well since Niue it's hands down my favorite!!! And on Niue you heard we did some pretty out of it stuff! Members would toss their catch straight from the sea and we'd pull the Gollum and just tear it apart and eat it right than and there! As fresh and raw as you can get it! Anyways so with the Maori's they have a lot of seafood that is their specialties and out in Whangaruru they feed it to us like crazy! Like the Kena(sea urchin) Pipi, Crayfish, etc etc! And there's heaps of sharks off the coast out there so we're hoping to get some shark soon!
Heard some crazy stories from the members out there! It's a whole different world out there everyone is just barebacking horses ridin around on the beaches and it's just so laid back and beautiful! Never seen anything like it! By far the most beautiful area I have served in!! Like I've said before I love serving as a Zone Leader up here in the great Northland it has been so much fun!! We just got to all step up our game!! Besides all of that there's not much else to update you guys with!! Just love you all and hope you have an awesome week this next week!!! Love ya!!!! :)
