Dear family,

Yeah it's crazy, being a zone leader makes us very busy and it seems like president gives us a lot of last minute stuff before meetings, but it's fun. There's tons of cool people here in the MTC, and it's really awesome here! My companion is from American Samoa, his name is Elder Naidu 

We are going to the temple actually, our temple trip is on Thursday, I guess it's like an hour and a half away or something, so it's an all day thing. The food is pretty good, we had steak and potatoes one night, but the stake was too rare for me. They have this potato like food called Kumara, if you can ever find any, it's so good! It's like a sweet potato, but better. I love that stuff! We also had ribs, and those were good. The breakfasts here are kinda weird. They have beans with everything! Mushrooms, ham, you name it, if it's for breakfast, they have it. Overall not bad though. Oh, the dairy. The butter is so good! and the milk, it tastes super fresh and creamy. It takes some getting used to, but it's good. 

It's been good and I love it here.  I wanna get out and start meeting people!  We have practice investigators, played by our teachers, and they are okay. But it's not the same. They do play good roles though. Yes Alyssa, it is fun here. All of us elders mess around a lot, and we have good times. I will attach pictures of the Auckland airport, and the area around.

Love you!

Elder Passey
