Quick recap

Kia ora yall, sorry I didn't get an email out to you these last couple of weeks. It's been a crazy couple of weeks and we've been busy. Also I just haven't really had the motivation. Anyways, the last couple of weeks we've just been running exchanges and busy with planning for zone conference. Last week was honestly the most tiring week of my life. We were working all day, and when we got home at 9, we spent the next hour planning for zone conference. It was a stressful week and very tiring. I'm definitely glad that this next week is going to be a little less busy and hopefully we can get some relaxation at night. We'll see. I'm just glad zone conference is over and we can chill a little. Anyways, just wanted to share a cool funny story. Last week my new hair clippers came in the mail, so me and my companion got the idea to go give free hair cuts in the community to try and find some people to teach. So, we did just that. I know it sounds like a weird fi...

Malo lelei! How is everybody? Hope you are all doing good. I'm doing great out here. Loving life, absolutely can't complain. Anyways I'll keep it short. This week was transfers so it was pretty busy and really hectic. All of Tuesday and Wednesday we were busy trying to get the missionaries to their areas in the zone. It's tough in this zone because everybody is like a 2+ hour drive away from Nelson. But, we got it all figured out. I was able to pick up my new comp Elder Tucker. He's a stud. We served together in Kansas as well so it's pretty nice getting to talk about the KWM with someone. We get along well and he's keen to work so I'm excited for the transfer. Here's an update on the work. The work is going great. We are trying to pick things up. We found a good amount of new people to teach which is always great. Hopefully they will progress. We had some beautiful blessings while knocking this week. We were knocking a street and we walk into the ba...

Kia ora yall! Hope you're all doing good. I'm doing pretty good. Time is flying and I'm having fun so I can't complain. Busy week so I'll keep this one short. So, this week was very busy. We had exchanges from Thursday to Friday in Greymouth, which was really good. Then when we got back I had to drop off Elder Tidwell off at the airport the next day because he's going home. So, I spent the weekend over in Motueka with the elders there which was super fun. But, I'm definitely going to miss Elder Tidwell. That guy was a stud and we had heaps of fun this transfer. This Sunday I got to go to church in Motueka which was really cool and very humbling. The Motueka branch meets in a tiny office building. They have 15 members in the branch and 5 of them are missionaries, so it definitely made me grateful to have a branch of at least 80 and an actual chapel. Sorry I got busy while writing this earlier and now I don't have time to finish it. Anyways I love you all ...
