Hey there!  Hope you had a great week and had the opportunity to teach some people.  It sounds like you’ve been having a lot of good opportunities so far.  That’s when missionary work is the best, when sitting across from some people and helping them understand their true natures, understand their purpose and how they fit into God’s plan. Pretty great stuff!

Mom and I went on a bike ride yesterday.  Yes, it was that warm even though we are almost in November.  It was probably almost 70 degrees.  I got a flat and had to walk part of the way back.  Poor me.   We spent part of the ride on the Farmington / Lagoon trail, which passes directly behind our house.  It was packed with families and professional photographers taking photos on the trail with the fantastic fall colors all around.  Seriously, there must have been 10 different groups.

Then on the way back, we saw lots of teenagers in different themed costumes.  One group wearing all referee outfits.  Mom was pretty sure it was for Sade Hawkins dances.  Our high school didn’t have one this year, but Isabell was going to the Viewmont one.

What else?  Things are going well generally.  Still meeting people in our new ward.  Did ethan send you a photo of the mural in our building to commemorate the founding of the Primary in 1878 in our ward building?  We have one of the oldest church buildings there is.  It’s been renovated a few times, so most of it looks like any other, but some parts have been maintained historically, including an old chapel area.  Very cool.

Love you, and hope you have a great week ahead.

 This week has been very stressful but also super great!

Man I miss Utah fall colors. That's one thing you don't get here in green green New Zealand. Haha I'm so glad Isabell is going to Sadie Hawkins! She is so social I'm not suprised she's already going toa  dance haha. And they were worried about not making friends! 

The mural is beautiful! That's so cool yous are in one of the oldest chapels. So gorgeous. 

Getting things ready for the baptism was difficult as, but it's accomplished so we're glad it's over! I'm technically not supposed to know this, but my trainer is super close with the AP so I learned that I'm staying in Opotiki for another transfer! I'm way excited because I love the members and all the people here. 

How have things been with Tanya? Also I saw Victor was in the picture mom sent last week so he came over? How are he and MJ? 

If I think of anything else I'll email you but that's all I can think of for now! Have a fantastic week!
Much love
