This week in "Rags to Riches" we got a bunch of work done!
We spent the whole week just basically walking around our area and contacted all of our former investigators from Elders in the past and their were a few that were interested but the Elders just stopped showing up one day. We wondered why this would happen but after looking over some of the previous people who have served in Raglan, there was 2 Elders in particular who basically just went swimming and played basketball all day, needless to say they were sent home but they had been the cause of a lot of bad feelings towards the Elders. We have been able to repair some of the relationships but a few of the people here just don't want anything to do with us. I have been able to meet a lot of different people here in Raglan. For example in the past 3 weeks I have met people from...
Ireland
Australia
Denmark
Netherlands
Scotland
Germany
England
Italy
Greece
Afghanistan
Iran
Canada
Papua New Guinea
Philippines
Saudi Arabia
United States
Tonga
Samoa
Fiji
Cook Islands
India
China
and many more!!!
So many different people make for some really interesting conversation which is always great for missionary work :)
On Saturday we got to go to the Te Awamutu space center and check out some of the exhibits there! It was pretty cool and we got to learn a lot about space and space exploration. It has made me think that we need to get our space program back up and running so that we can get to Mars!!! I have attached some pictures but there are a lot more things that I couldn't fit in this email. We have transfers in 2 weeks but I am pretty sure Elder To'angutu and I will be staying here.
Lovin' it here in the NZ!
