A New Area

Well transfers have come and gone, yes. I was very sad to leave. It felt as if I was leaving home again to go on another mission. It's amazing how close you can get to a ward and everyone involved. I'm truly going to miss that ward forever.

Well I'm in Panmure Stake. It's on the east coast. Where I'm follow-up training Elder Hunt who is in his 2nd transfer. We cover 2 wards. Howick and Waipuna. They are pretty good wards. Oh yea. I'm driving. It was nuts the first day or two but now I'm pretty used to it. I have been used to the way it all goes for awhile but just being the driver is a really new and neat experience.

I've learned alot about patience and it's something I've been working on as well. It's going to be my transfer theme.

The wards are really good. A lot of Maori people live here. But the Howick ward is rich as. But it's nice because the people aren't snooty or anything like that. We tracted a really rich street the other day. Shelley Beach. It was way nice and had an awesome view. But in general things are going very well.

We have a couple of people who we are going to be trying to set for baptism this week. There is going to be a couple of marriages this transfer! I feel that might be trend for me throughout the mission. Getting people married and then baptised! But that's sweet with me. We taught a lesson to our ward mission leader and ward missionaries on Sunday in the Howick ward. It was on the Plan of Salvation. I, of course, used Ian to explain my feelings on the Atonement. Man, I still can't talk about it with people without going crazy with tears. But that's good.
