Teaching in the Savior's Way

Tena Koutou!

So, Heavenly Father has seen it fit that I will be transferred out of Wairoa, my missionary birth place, and move on to a new area.  It has been way fun in Wairoa.  All in all I think my main purpose was to bring back less actives and to  find new investigators.  We had two sets last week and we had two new investigators.  I am sad that I wasn't able to get a baptism after three transfers but it's not about the numbers it's about bringing people to know that the gospel is true and how it has helped us in our life.  Our investigator Matiu and Jeralden made me a necklace out of whale bone and he made a Maori club for me as well for me to go off with.  I felt that I should give him something in return as well so I danced a hula for him, "Ka au hele Moa." At the end of it they were both crying and sent me off.  I am really going to miss them and my comp elder Chiong.  He always made me food like Adobo and Pancit.  It was way good.

So, my new area is in Hamilton in the Grandview Ward.  It's a busy as place.  Traffic and cars everywhere but it is next to the temple and the mission office so that's good.  The bus ride was long as I almost got sick on the way over.  It was six hours.  I am companions with a Tongan elder, Elder Latu and he is the District Leader with four more months left.  I a also the driver in this big city and the only driver in the district with a car so I have to do a lot of driving the other elders around.  We are also in a massive zone with 26 companionships.  It is huge.  We haven't gotten into too much work yet because we are trying to finish up the transfer things but when it starts we will be working so hard because it is a busy area.

I love yous all .  I hope you have a massive Thanksgiving holiday and stay safe.  Work hard.  
Love yous,
Ofa atu.

No photos this week.  My charger cord is down in Wairoa.  Hopefully I will get it from the Zone Leaders butif not I will need to get a new one.
