Dear family,

Another week come and gone, they just seem to go by faster and faster as time goes on! This week was pretty fun. I had exchanges with Elder Porter in Dannevirke this week, that was really fun, I like that town, not as much as Pahiatua, but it was cool. It was super funny though, Elder Porter got the call that he is training next transfer when I was there. It went something a little like this..

Elder Pelo (the AP)" Hey Elder Porter, where's the nearest hospital to you guys?" 

Elder Porter (confused)" Probably palmy, why?"

Elder Pelo" All the way there huh? Well, you're going to need to get there fast, because your water just broke! You're training!" :D HAHAHAHAHAhA I just cracked up laughing.....so funny. That was a pretty great exchange, and from that I found out I am not training either, so that was nice. I wouldn't mind, but one less stress in life. 

Our sports days are still kind of a mix up of good and bad...they can be really fun at the start, but then they start to get annoying when the kids try to be cool and push each other around, pretty annoying, but it goes okay. We might be starting a new thing where we have one for the older kids and one for everyone so the problems aren't as bad, because the older ones say the younger ones were it, so we shall see.

 

Then we had stake conference, and that was awesome! The Saturday night session was awesome, President Morley from our mission presidency spoke, and that guy is just the man! He is so cool, and he is letting us do more here too, and President Hudson is just getting so much going for our areas, it's pretty awesome. Our mission has just leveled up and it is great! The Sunday session wasn't as good, mostly because we were stuck in a side room with our investigators and we couldn't hear, it was the video feed in the primary room and the seats were all full where we were so we had to go in that side room, kinda the room to take your crying kids into, and it was just loud the whole time, and those boys were a bit loud trying to sit still for two hours too, so it wasn't as uplifting, but the parts I did hear were good I guess. Still liked it though. 

We have a Tangi (funeral) to go to as well, so we will see how that goes. Other than the norm, still doing good, we had 5 investigators at Stake Conference which is amazing, so that was the best! 

Transfers are here, and so now..... I am being made District Leader again, I am staying in Pahiatua, my new comp will be Elder Savage, and Foremaster is going south to Dunedin for the first time in his mission so that is cool for him. It should be all goods, looks like it should be fun as! Love you all! Have an awesome week!!
