5 May 2013.

This has been a good week too. I love living closer to town it makes it easier to buy food. The members here feed me pretty good. I can tell because I am getting a little fat! Maybe because I am not working out all the time. I sent a letter this morning hopefully that gets there soon. I hope you are putting my mission address as the return address to the letters you mailed for me.

Yesterday was Sunday and it was kind of sad. Tony didn't come to church, probably because it is in Te Hauke not Waipuk, that makes a difference for some people. But I am having great experiences every day while I am door knocking, there is always something to keep me going!!! That is the Lord and your prayers for me. Please send me pictures of Warner and the farm--I miss them.

One thing that happened not to long ago, our mission had the privilege of having Elder Dallin H. Oaks come to visit. I was so excited to hear this. I kept thinking to myself I am named after him this is so cool! Now I get to meet him, nothing in this world would make me more happy! Then I found out that he already came and left; only the Wellington and Upper Hut Zones got to meet him. He wanted to shake everyone of their hands--All of the missionaries. I am not gonna lie this made me a little sad.

After emails yesterday we went to go buy me medal pedals because the ones I had broke after 54 days!! While were were buying them it started to pour rain so we had to play basketball in the rain. It was cold but worth it. And the rings, please do that. Don't worry about the money Elder Kavea is paying me back!! And can you send me refils for my blue and black zebra pen!!

15 April 2013.

I have been on splits with my district leader and two other Elders this week for conference. It is a little weird to flat with other Elders when I'm so used to doing different stuff with my Soa. General Conference was amazing. During priesthood session I loved how Beck talked about that Johnson girl and Carson; I was like yelling to everyone in my branch "I know them! I know them!" It was pretty cool. Right now I am in Hastings. I don't have any of my stuff--pray for me my driving test is in four hours--scary stuff.

Turns out I messed up pretty bad; I left all of my papers for the driving test in Waipak (short for my area) so I called the office and they said to just schedule it for another day and it will be reimbursed. My favorite talk in conference was Elder Neil L. Anderson's signs and miracles will follow the faithful and Elder Ellis's about him growing up on a farm and how he related it to needing to stick to the basics

Exchanges were fun it was something to be able to go out with missionaries other than Elder Kavea. I went with Elder Evans (from my intake) and Elder Taelega he's a pretty cool guy but he only has two months left.  Elder Kavea and I were knocking doors this week and we met a Jehovah's Witness. She let us in but would hardly let us talk, she had a bunch of Mormon stuff, and we asked her why she wouldn't read any of them. We answered her questions of the first page of the Book of Mormon. I read it to her and I felt the Spirit, I even started to cry a bit as I bore my testimony, but she shrugged it off her shoulder. It was a different experience. It is starting to rain here, hopefully the mountains get green and I can send you green photos. Send me some pictures from T-ball and the farm and some of me. I love you all
