Greetings from the Bowl! To answer your
question Dad, Wellington is visible from across the bay, down in the Hutt, but
we're at the top of a hill, down in a pit, so all we can see is the hills
surrounding us on every side. Which is really quite scenic, but it gets cold
and dark really fast. And it's a magnet for rain and winds. But it's the best, of
course. The view at the top of the bowl to go down to the Hutt is awesome
because you can see the bay and both Hutt Valley and Wellington. But the only
time we see it is when we're riding the bus into town for P-day or District
Meeting.
Happy Birthday to Kaffs and Sare-bear!
Camping on you birthday sounds pretty fun! Enjoy some mud cake or some
Sparkling Rain in a tin can. I'll be sure to eat some real cake for you. I do
hope you have a great one!
Throughout my mission, I never thought I
could get sick of eating meat pies. But because Elder Maas and get fed quite
well here for dinners, our freezer is pretty full of frozen delicacies and
we've been eating a lot of them the past couple of weeks. Meat pies are amazing
(as long as you don't have too many of them). It's simply just a pie crust and
top, with minced meat and melted cheese substance all floating in a gooey
gravy. My favorite are the ones with steak chunks inside instead of mince. (And
by steak i mean roast beef or something). You just pull one or two from the
package in your freezer, microwave for 3 minutes, and then if I'm feeling fancy
I'll put it in the oven to crisp it up. And then you dip it in sauce. Usually
some ketchup and mayo (fry sauce). It's definitely on our menu for when you
come over.
This has been a really productive week.
Great things are afoot. We've found some wonderful part-member families who love
us, but more importantly, love the Lord. It's strange how sometimes during the
day, it seems we don't know what to do, but in the evenings when everyone is
home, we don't have enough time to see everyone we need to! It's wonderful
being busy. I lose my mind when I don't have anything to do. Sorry I don't have
to much to say today, but I'll keep you updated more next week about the
progress of these wonderful people. And sorry I can't send pictures. It;s
really complicated and slow, Ill try again next week to send at least one.

Keep doing what is right, and praying day and night!
Have a wonderful week!
I love you all so very much!
Love,
Elder David John Rowe
