Stake

Kia ora whanau!! 

Dunedin became a stake this weekend!! It was the oldest district in the world, and it's finally a stake. There was such a special spirit at the meeting. Elder Pearson, the area president, was there and he gave such a good talk. He spoke about how becoming a stake is a beginning, not an end, how we need to rededicate ourselves to the work. I got to talk to him for just a minute before the meeting too, which was a blessing. 

During the week, we taught an investigator about prayer. In the closing prayer, he thanked Heavenly Father for us and for how nice we've been to him. There's really not anything I enjoy more than hearing things like that from investigators. 

Also. This is what it's like when we go to our member's homes. "Elder's! Have you eaten yet? Here's some tuna sandwiches we made. Oh hey! Here's literally all of our cereal too. Do you want some cookies? Here's some orange juice. Have an ice cream cone! Have another. By the way, how long do you have? We're making chicken and potatoes for lunch!" 

I'm staying in Oamaru for another transfer! Elder F and I are companions still and Elder S

is going back to his area with a new elder.

Love you all! 

Love,

Elder Benjamin
