Hey there, hope you are doing well-ish and that kind of stuff. The week was interesting. Heaps of rude people but I think it is because of school holidays. One more week of school holidays. And I have to cut this e-mail, now have an emergency trade off because this companionship is having a terrible time and hate each other. Talk you soon. Also on the 11th is Mother's day phone call, set up the time so it is about 12 my time and 4 your time on sunday?

Love you

Elder Long

So, I'm back online at the moment so I will finish up a letter for the week. Was alright, although the District is falling apart at the seams, so it keeps me pretty busy most of the time. Other than that this week was slow. Doing our best to progress our investigators especially Charlize and Te Rawhiti to their baptism dates this weekend!! Just need permission from the parents in Australia that we can do the baptism and then have the caregivers sign the form. The sets in Whangarei are working towards the 10th for baptism and they are both still out of town for the rest of the week. I love it when people leave town for two weeks before their baptism and leave no way to get in contact with them.

Not too much else going over here, not much happens. Things just move along and no one gets up to much, but that is all good. The sudden trade-off is going pretty well though, Elder Taunganga just struggles finding English words and it makes my head hurt. It's kinda like being back with Elder Ranaivosoa, except Elder Taunganga's english is far better than Elder Ranaivosoa's English even though Elder Ranaivosoa is in his 2d year.

Hope you all have a good week, read your scriptures, immerse yourself in the gospel, and don't forget to apply it or your judgement bar will not be pleasing
