Hey so the week was alright. Created the weekly goal of the "Member Pack!" Which meant follow-ups every night about how Daily contact with the WML went and how their Ward Councils are and how rescue nights went. We do this every week in our DLC's and it went alright, maybe the ward is getting a bit more on board with the work. Or at least a little bit more open to it all. Maybe, maybe not. Sometimes it feels like we just come up with goals because we are asked to and then all of the missionaries go "Oh, yeah that will be a great goal. Yes! We'll do that" and then as they walk out and say "Yeah, all of that doesn't really apply in our area" and just go back to how they normally are and don't apply these commitments we leave them. But people are just eggs sometimes, and then sometimes I feel like we just throw around stuff that actually don't help out their areas, just things that on paper look like we could improve there. Such is a mission.

Other than all of that nothing really happened. There was a a storm that ended up flooding most of Raumanga and that included the Sister's flat which was not good because they couldn't get a hold of me for a "long" time. Ha, long jokes. Anyways, it worked out okay and then the rest of the week moved with everyone having a great Sunday except for me and my companion, our investigator that came leaves for jail in a few days for not sure how long.  That one wasn't meant to be a long joke it just worked out as one.

My Zone Leader Elder Daunika dies today, which meant that he caught a bus this morning. Perks of being up North, you catch a bus down to Auckland if your time is up. And that about sums it all up, investigators dropping quickly and people who can see Taniwha's are suddenly appearing. I averaged about 3 hours of sleep this week but had the best nights sleep of 5 hours last night! Yes!! Can't wait for people to stop telling me that I look tired and could use a nap.

Have a good week!

Elder Long
