Hello again! Do you enjoy this torture? Well here is some more for you to enjoy. This is Sister Gorrela and she was transferred from our Otahuhu Ward this last transfer. She has been in our Otahuhu Ward for about 6 months and we have enjoyed getting to know her. On our Facebook page we have posted her story. She was the first Missionary from India to serve in New Zealand. Her story is also in pacific.lds.org if you don’t have Facebook. It is a great story.
Yes, when you give your phone to a Missionary to take a picture you get more than you think. We had Zone Conferences this last week and here Elder Hopgood(England) and Sister Tenischeva (Ukrane) pose for a selfie. They love to take their pictures for us.
Here Sister Tenischeva(Ukraine) poses with her companion Sister Petty(Australia). Sister Petty’s ninety year old grandmother is waiting for her return home so they can take a track(hike) on the South Island which takes several days and you have to carry everything with you and the only way out in an emergency is by helicopter. You go grandma!
These cute Sisters had matching dresses made for them and wore them to Zone Conference. Sister Moser(Herriman, Utah) and Sister Vehekite(Australia) are companions. You have to love them.
While at Zone Conference our District decided to pose for a District Photo. Back row l-r Elder Latu , Elder Fakahua, Sister and Elder Bartlett. Front row Sister Brown, Sister Ete, Sister Tapu and Sister Frost. We decided on a District slogan this week which is “We can do it!”
Just the Sisters from the District.
We always pose for a Zone Photo (actually 3 zones in this photo). Quite a good looking group. I am talking about the Senior Couples on the front row also!
These are two more Zones at their Zone Conference. Yes, Elder Bartlett is not in there since he is taking the picture. Probably looks better without him. We don’t have a picture of the third Zone Conference from Whangarei yet since it happens this week. We will not be able to attend since we are caring for an accident victim this week.
I did say that accidents do happen. This Elder crashed on his bicycle a few days before Zone Conference. The only one so far this transfer. He broke a bone in his hand and badly sprained his ankle. We are giving safety on bicycles some time in Zone Conference.
His response was “it’s all good”
These Missionaries are tough and don’t let anything get them down. They consider these Mission scars and just want to keep going. We love them and pray for them every day. We also pray for each of you and hope your life is full of happiness as our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ wants you to be. We love you! Elder and Sister Bartlett
