A Busy “New” Week for us!
ZONE CONFERENCES!
Our Mission President (Who is new) wants to get the
Transfer message out to all the missionaries as quickly as possible, that means
the week right after transfers – That also means 5 Zone Conferences in 4 days
(And the associated Interviews!)
The zone Conference message was about having the Faith to “move”
people, Obedience to be endowed with the power to perform and Finding more
people to Invite unto Christ.
Because the Mission is spread out, we have to split the
Interview into 2 weeks. We had all the Zone
Conferences and did some Interviews after the Conferences this week and we will
be following up with the remainder of the Interviews next week.
So, what does that mean for us?
Well, Linda is meeting with every missionary and since I am
helping coordinate the Zone Conferences and Interviews, we are at every
Conference and Interview. Also meaning,
we are seeing a lot more of New Zealand!
On Tuesday we were in Auckland (Papkura Stake Center) [We
like going to Auckland because there is a great Real Fruit Ice Cream stop on
the way!].
Wednesday & Thursday were LONG days in Hamilton.
Friday we drove to Tauranga (Very Foggy most of the drive)
for Zone Conference and Interviews – Then we had a great meal right on the
water front, followed by a 3 ½ hour drive in the dark, along the coast and
through the mountains (Steep and Winding Roads) to Gisborne – Spent the night at
a Hotel on the water front, finished the Gisborne interviews and drove back (6 ½
hours) to Hamilton! We did drive down
along the southern coast of our mission (found another great seafood place
right near the water – with a Real Fruit Ice Cream on the way out of town (This
Ice Cream was different, Linda had hers with Yoghurt and I had a new fruit
called Feijoa (pronounced “Fey-Jo-A”) – I mixed it with Strawberry, it was
rather tasty, but definitely different…
We saw a lot of the Coast and some great views –
While it was a busy week, we enjoyed meeting more of the
missionaries and enjoying the Spirit of those Missionaries in each of the Zone
Conferences – What a Powerful group of Missionaries!
We love yous (practicing my New Zealand talk!) all.
