Always Find Happiness at the End of the Day.

What is up my Whanua!

I hope you  all have had a wonderful week, because I know that I have been so blessed this week!

First off. Taranaki is the flipping promised land. It is beautiful beyond comparison! I’ll be attaching pictures of how beautiful this place is. The culture is awesome! Its very heavily Maori influenced, so we get to have a great taste of original Aotearoa culture.

To begin.. our flat has more fleas then I think should be legal.. and they must be hungry because they pay $9.95 for an Elder Gish feast... and then we have to boil our water to drink it because its not the cleanest, and our shower has two heats: "Mount Mordor hot", or "I'm not hoping in that cold". !! HOW COOL IS THAT!! Talk about feeling rugged! It really is such a blessing to live in an area where we have a roof over our head. And this place is so amazing.

So this week was AWESOME!!! This Saturday the 6th we are having a baptism for a young girl we are teaching Rene. She is awesome! So keen on the gospel. And she will be a great addition in this branch. Then this amazing thing happened. We have found 3 young men that are keen az to be learning more about the gospel. Just randomly talking to them and they want to learn more! WHO SAID THAT THIS AREA IS DEAD!! cause it aint... it is kicking like crazy!! Its great to find success in this area! The work can be hard at times, but when things get hard, that means something great will happen soon! That is how God works... we don't stay in misery, we always find happiness at the end of the day. This Gospel is amazing and has blessed my life like crazy!

So a few more cool things!! The 7th of this month the church is doing a "youtube take over" for the entire day the church will be the only advertisements being used. So tell your friends to go onto youtube! It’s a great finding tool to help this work hasten! Please do that!

I love you all !

Have an awesome week!
