Well where do I start; there are so many things going through my head. First off I love all of you, thank you so much for what you guys do for me!!

{Nevitt Knight getting ready to fight}

It has been really fold here. I don't like it!!!! It can get really hard!! But WE NEVITTS DO MANY HARD THINGS WHILE SMILING!!!!!!!!!! I don't stop, I know when I do that's when it is going to get hard! My poor Soa has been sick in bed for the past two days, I can't believe how sick he is. I made sure he was all warm and that he had plenty of food. It was a pretty hard thing to do but today he is doing a lot better. It was a pretty hard thing to do but today he is doing a lot better we made it to the library, I hope we can do more after this. I have just been watching the Restoration all versions; the one we give out Lucy Mack Smith one and the Emma Hale Smith one. I've watched the Best Two Years a hundred times along with Saints and Soldiers, Finding Faith in Christ and a bunch of other church material. I also have caught up on all my training and studying. It has been a very boring past two days, I hope all is well in the next couple of days that will come.

Monday I failed my driving test. I cried so much that night because I felt like I failed my Soa. But it is just a learning experience I didn't know what to expect and now I can change all of that. Which I will! My next test is on the third and I hope everything goes well. I am tired of paying $60 for the test. I want to wait till it can just change it when it has been two years with me holding my Arizona one, but the Mission President wants me to change it so that means the Lord wants me to, so I will be able to do it.

{Mata Riki}

Mata Riki (Maori New Year) was last Friday and we were able to go because a less active and investigator participated in it. It was cool, reminded me of a school performance the Primary School and College (high school level here) performed different things. The coolest one was the Haka!!!!! It was really cool. Our investigator did something with balls on string called a POI. There were a lot of girls doing it and it looked really cool. Afterwards there were fireworks, it was a very cool Friday night.

{Fireworks}

Some old lady in out branch passed away and in the Maori culture they have the body in the house day and night for three days. Each night they have a big feed so I was OK with that. I have been thinking this would be so weird to have this happen. And it is very disrespectful if you don't touch them. I didn't touch them because no one told me. I know now because someone told me after we left and you have to wash your hands after and sprinkle yourself. Now, when I did I want you to this with me alright, please do it with me. Hahahahahaha! That is about all. I love all of you! The church is true.

Papa it was very nice talking with all of you guys so much!!!! I want to do it everyday. But I need to lose myself in the work. Today I am in Hastings getting ready for my driving test. I have no reason not to pass it. I am on the Lord's errand, I will be fine. I will never be mad at you, Papa, and I won't spend all my money in one place--I don't even like spending it when I have too.

{Elder Nevitt and Emperor Kuzco}

I want to write to Mema right now--you can show her this or tell her--but I want to say thank you and Happy Mema day. Sorry I haven't sent her anything yet so this is it. Mema, I just want to write you and tell you I love you so much. You have done so much for me and my family. Thank you for raising my dad the way you did. All that I remember growing up was my dad telling stories of his mission, and how much he grew on the mission. It means the world to me that you raised a wonderful son that became my father, he has set a great example or me and you yourself by serving a mission. Love you. 444 God will support!

{The Fog Elder Nevitt wakes up to every morning}

Now Grandma. Grandma, thanks for coming to Skype with me. Sorry you couldn't hear me. But at least I was able to see you and you were able to see me. I have written you a letter and it should come before a months time is done. It has some good stuff in it explaining the reasons I love you, but the reason I love you the most is you are my Grandma. You have loved me and cared for me. I love you and I will never stop praying for you. Love you!

{The Rugby game Elder Nevitt goes to every Saturday to do his weekly planning}

Mom. Gosh dang it, Mom, why can't you be in New Zealand with me. I love you and miss you. I am glad that I got to Skype with you and that you were able to hear me and speak with me. One of the things I don't look forward to is waking up in the morning. The reason why is I have to wake up. I usually dream of talking to you, family, friends. In the dream they always ask me why are you back here, aren't you suppose to be in New Zealand. I say yes, I am bit this is a dream keep talking to me. So I think you are always with me. Then I have to go make something to eat, why can't you be here to make me some food!!!! And then I have to clean the house! I know when I come back home I will help you out more. You do so much for all of your kids. Thank you!

And here is a shout out to Melanie and Janae. Happy Mothers Day!!!!!!

{Hastings District via Mission Website}

This past couple weeks have been great. I still keep pushing back Tony O'Rielly's baptism but I know it will happen. He is in Wellington for the week. One experience I has this week was in Takapau (I have no idea how to spell it). We went there with Brother Barnett--he reminds me of Papa because he can talk your ear off any day and he is also a High Councilman--but he was our ride. We went to a couple of potentials houses but no one came to the door and it was kind of a waste of a day till our last house. On the way up to his house my Soa felt like he should grab a Book of Mormon out of his bag. We went up and this guy was outside of his house, looking really sad. We had a nice chat with him and found out some stuff about him then he asked if we had a Book of Mormon and my Soa gave one to him. I could feel the spirit working on him. We were then about to leave and Brother Barnett asked him if we could give him a blessing and this guy could not answer with words. His eyes were full of tears and he couldn't talk, he just nodded his head yes and we gave him a blessing. This was my spiritual highlight of the week. Just little thins like this help me to know that I am supposed to be on a mission.

{Elder Nevitt's handy dandy took thing}

This week I also bout one of these handy dandy tools things for my bike, and while I was working on my bike my thumb got caught on something and I cut it. My Soa and I went to the lake that is in Waipuk and I found my duck. (DUCK DYNASTY Uncle Si would be proud of me!!!!) It was really fun exploring around the lake.
