New Area, new companion, new people, new flat (ew.), new etc.

So! I mentioned last week that I was being double shifted (transferred) out. My area got closed, because there aren't enought missionaries in the mission to fill the wards they need, so until more come in, it's back down to just one companionship in the ward. But in 4-10 weeks, it will be back up. :-)

This new ward is the Redhill ward in the Papakura stake in South Auckland. Crazy. It's a mean ward. It is made up of almost all Polynesians. Crazy. You don't really have to shop when you are here. The members buy most of the food for you. Crazy.

Anyways, my new companion's name is E. Peterson, and he is from Marshall Islands. That's in Micronesia. Anyways. He is awesome. We already get along really well. Looking like I'm gonna have a new favorite companion. Woohoo!

Not really much to talk about. This area is just getting back on it's feet, so we don't really have any investigators at the moment. But this week will change that all.

This is a really short email. Well, if you want some spiritual upliftment, I'm sure you can find some on lds.org. ;-)

Arohanui,

E. Staheli

Pictures

1. Hiding from the rain under my umbrella (ella, ella, ella, eh, eh... :-P get that out of here!) It rains so much here.

2.Picture with the Tahere whanau! Lots of unbaptised, but missionaries really shouldn't baptise them until the parents jump on the boat.
