It's another lovely day in Levin. Yes, Levin, I'm back once again! This time I'm with Elder Kaumavae, my Tongan toko. I'm here for exchanges for a couple of days and will get to see a few of my favorite people as I'm here. My main concern however is if people will actually be able to understand the two of us. Elder Kaumavae has only been speaking English for a few months since he started his mission (I can understand his English just fine but others seem to have more of a difficult time) and I've got something wrong with my voice because of a cold, so it'll be an interesting couple of days as we attempt to share the Gospel in our unique way.
We had Zone Leader Council yesterday in Wellington, which is always a treat. Whenever I go there, I'm always so weirded out by it's hillyness and narrow roads. I just can't imagine living there and being in fear of dropping a basketball or skateboard and never seeing it again because it's rolled down a hill and you can't chase after it in time! But yeah.
Elder Tukuafu and I had a really good week and saw a lot of success with our investigators. It was a good week for the two of us before the never ending exchanges begin and we get split up each week. The Gibbs/Anthony and Kitirangi (whichever you know them better as) are doing really well and always seem to have more of an enthusiasm for the Gospel everytime we see them.
On Saturday, as an Elder's Quorum activity, we played a game of "touch rugby" with the other Palmy ward and we were able to have a good few investigators come, including Anthony, and Kitirangi's brother, and a few less active members. Rugby is the secret to get every male Kiwi to come to church. Sort of.
The Taukapos are also doing really well. The two daughters were able to come to church on Sunday after we picked them up with some members outside of their Tongan church which had just finished. They loved it and hopefully they will be joined by their parents next week. We've finally figured out however that the mom is a member of the church and she didn't really know for sure. But she is, so I wonder what her reaction will be when Elder Tukuafu tells her.
Give Parker my biggest congratulations and please give me his address ASAP when he's out of the mtc.
bye!
