Kia Ora Family!!
Well its 2012! I can hardly believe it. I"m glad to hear you were all able to spend the holidays together! Sounds like you all ate a ton, but exercised to keep it off haha! Sounds like its time to get back to life again. School and work are starting again and life begins again. Make it a great year! I know i am!
It was a pretty good week leading up to new years! Like i always say, there are many moments where we are led to people. We met this one lady on the street, and talked to her for a little bit and found out that her husband had recently passed. We talked about the Savior and his atonement and how he can help her in her life, we then said a prayer and then goodbye. It was a really good moment.
So transfers took place this thursday. My companion elder jibas and I found out we are both staying in Otahuhu! But guess what! We found out that we are getting another missionary! So once again i am in a threesome! The missionary that joined us is Elder Jolliffe! He's from England! Its crazy to be in a threesome again. Its going to be an interesting six weeks because or flat isnt really big enough for three people, but i guess we'll have to make it work. Elder Jolliffee is a good missionary, this is his last transfer so i'll be honest and say that he is pretty trunky lol. But its ok, me and elder jibas are going to make sure that he finishes strong!
Hey i got your package on thursday!!! Hurray!! Thank you so much for all the candy, ties and the flag!! Oh and mom the letters were really nice too! I really appericiate the journal you sent me. It was nice to read and realzie how much i am blessed and that no matter what happens, it will never be that bad. It was a really good package though! And yes i did get it! So keep em coming haha.
So yesterday you'll never believe what i ate!! So we had our ward mission leader feed us yesterday. He is a tongan and we ate at his siter in laws house with some of their family. It was a great feast haha. A really really great feast lol. But anyways, the crazy thing that i ate was horse meat! Yes i ate horse haha! And i must say that it was pretty dang good, i would eat it again. I'm being serious, it was probably one of the best things i've had since being out here lol! I mean it was just really good! I wish i could have it back home lol when i'm done with my mission, it was that good. They also rolled a pig and i ate pig. That was also pretty good. They told me the next thing i need to try is dog! Thats what they eat back in Tonga, but its illegal here in NZ. Haha, they said i would like that if i liked horse lol. I'm not to sure i could eat a dog though, thats probably the line i would draw haha.
It was a great new years though, and i'm glad to talk to you all once again.
Well love you all so much! And i will talk to you again next week!!
Love,
