Dear Family,

Baptism. Vana Hira's baptism was so powerful!! I'm not just saying that because it was one of mine, but man, having her nephew there to baptize her, Elder Hira, and then being able to see her family come and witness this, it was so cool!! The Spirit was so strong!! and not to brag or anything, but President and Sister Hudson were able to come, and also President Pearson was there, he was up here for our Stake Conference, which was awesome by the way, and he was able to attend.(He spoke in the Sunday afternoon session of Conference if you don't know who he is :) ) Just so perfect, great support from the ward, just an all around awesome day! It was so great. Highlight of the week by far. 

Other side notes, we had a great FHE on Monday with the Seminary teacher in our ward, he's the man. Met a Psychic medium, so called, total baloney guy, weird as too. We got some new investigators into the woodwork, and just had a great week overall. We also went sheep shearing this morning with one of our members, started about 7, ended about 12, it was probably one of the hardest things I have ever done. EVER. We did sheep shearing, pressing wool, dragging them out, basically a bit of everything, it was so intense, but pretty cool though, experiencing New Zealand the hard way haha! :) Great week though, just can't top the awesome baptism we had. Just can't.

Hope all of you are doing great! Another transfer is here and I am staying with Elder Dalton, great things coming from Flaxmere this time around! :) Love you!
