Concerning Pain, TWE, New Sets, and the Book of Mormon (and also, how not to baptize someone/be a missionary)

Kia Ora!

Well! This week has been a week of extremes. Well, to start off, I discovered what was wrong with my throat! When I went to the doctors a week ago, Dr. Hemi told me that I had an Ulcer in my throat. Ow. So, I had to get medications for it. I got Amoxicillin, and also Paracetamol mixed with a little bit of Codeine. If you are not a doctor, you probably have no idea what those last two medicines are. Paracetamol is a fairly moderate painkiller, and Codeine is a very powerful painkiller (not as powerful as something like Morphine, but still.). Well, to kinda give you an idea, there was about 500mg of Paracetamol to every 8mg of Codeine.

Concerning Transfers, Goodbye photos, prayers, New investigators, firesides, leadership, and mail service


It has been a good couple of days!!!
 
So, I got a call on Wednesday saying that for transfers, I was staying. I was thinking, why are the Assistants calling to tell me this? It's usually the Zone leaders. Well, my question was answered. They called me, on behalf of President Lekias, to be Senior companion with my new companion, E. Peni.

Concerning Teeth, Crazy American Drivers, Prophecies of the Maori, Sayings of the Kiwis, transfers, and changes in the ward

Kia Ora Whanau and Ehoas! How are all of you! I am doing great. I am sad that I missed my big sister's wedding. I was actually planning on having Sis. Flood, a member in NGA, email something to be read at the wedding, but I never had time to write anything down, and it eventually slipped my mind. Oops. :-P I am happy for Kiara, and I want her to know that I think that she has made the right choice. Even though people expressed doubts about you two, I always had that feeling in the back of my mind that you would end up together. To my sister: I love you, and I am happy for you and DJ. To my Brother-in-law: It is weird to have a brother in law. But at least it's someone that I know and trust. This is usually the point when I, the brother, make a life threat about you had better treat my sister with the greatest love and respect or I'll smash you, or something... :-) But really, I am happy for yous, and I wish yous the best. Hope your life is very happy and that you enjoy the start of your lives together for the rest of eternity. Have fun!
