Kia ora whanau!! 

This week was pretty neat. It seems like one of the only things on my mind and that we've been doing is planning the consolidation of our area with the Alexandra elders' area. I'm getting pretty excited for it and I'm really hoping that we'll be able to work more productively and have more success. 

We had a lesson with S again this week on Tuesday morning and he's so much fun to teach. It's really different. He doesn't have much of a Christian background (he's really only known about Jesus Christ for a few months) and we take a lot of time for him to read what we want him to know in Vietnamese and then talking about it in English. He's excited about the Book of Mormon though and he read from the introduction to 2 or 3 chapters into 1st Nephi! 

We saw D as well this week. He and K just reapplied for permanent residency (they've sent in over 30 visa applications since they've been here in New Zealand) and we're hoping things work out. They're still having a pretty rough go of it but the end is in sight, things will settle down, and we'll be able to start teaching K
again.

On Thursday night, or Wednesday night a number called that we didn't know. It was Elder Micheli!! So we went to meet up with them and spent about an hour talking. It was so much fun to be able to talk to them for a bit. 

I love you all! 

Love,

Elder Benjamin
