Kia ora whanau!!
This week was neat. We had our exchanges with the district
leaders (yes, leaders, our district is so big that we have 2 district leaders,
crazy, right??) and they drove up Monday to have P-day with us. D and K were going to Dunedin for D's knee surgery and had asked for a blessing so
Elder R and I cut p-day short and drove to the Chirstensen's to give
D and then K a blessing. It was such a sacred experience for me. I've
loved being able to see the two of them grow in faith and testimony.
I spent a couple days in Gore and we taught a couple lessons
so that was neat. We also spent quite a lot of time helping the some elders
move out of their flat. I don't think it's been cleaned since the missionaries
moved in 5 years ago. It was pretty unpleasant at times, to say the
least.
While I was on the exchange, one of our investigators committed to baptism!
He doesn't have a date yet and he still works Sundays so there's some
challenges to overcome still but we're really feeling good with him. We called
him yesterday and he's sick but he's been reading!
I love you all!
Love,
Elder Benjamin
