Hakas at the Christmas ZC-Dec 2007

At our Christmas zone conferences, each of our zones planned and performed a Haka, the traditional Maori war dance. They all did a wonderful job and were terrific, even our American and Canadian missionaries loved to do the Haka. It was wonderful!!

Christmas Zone Conf Dec 2007

Here we are beginning our Christmas Zone Conf. We had a gift exchange in each one and had a great time.
Here I am with two of our sisters. Then we also played a game where there were teams of six and each was assigned two letters. Then they were to spell a four letter word by four standing in the correct position with the correct letter and two sitting down at either end of the team. The fastest to get there was the winner. Fun was had by all. Lastly, Elder Stanton, one of our missionaries who tore the ligaments in his foot, (which then became infected because he developed blisters) sitting down to watch and enjoy the festivities.

Time Spent with Mahana, Ken and Friends

Here we are during our travels with Mahana, Ken, Geri, Emily and Robert. We are in Akaroa enjoying the sunshine and shops.

Here is Mike relaxing in the Christchurch Cathedral square. Mike and I are relaxing together. We couldn't have asked for better weather for traveling during October. Lastly, we are enjoying freshly caught crayfish (the size of our rock lobster) cooked and deliciously sweet.
