I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and have a Happy New Year!!! It was the best Christmas present ever to see your lovely faces and hear your voices!!! And it was so hard to say bye hahahah that kinda sucked but all goods! Okay so Christmas here in NZ is so lame hahaha no one really celebrates any holiday here. But we did go over to our Branch President's house and had a mean feed and a Hangi on Christmas!
On Christmas Eve day, Sister Gase and I sang with the Branch President's daughter during Sacrament meeting hahahahaha Yes I sang lol never again, that was a one time thing haha But all day Sister Gase and I passed out cookies that we made for heaps of the members and investigators! It was fun going around on Christmas Eve and passing out cookies and sharing scriptures, one member gave us taro chips and coconut cream taro. It was so yum and then a pastor that we are friends with
gave us chocolates and we sang songs with her again on her guitar! That was fun haha She is such a lovely lady and will one day accept the gospel.

We also dropped of cookies at the petrol station to the workers there cause we always run in and use the bathroom like everyday so we are pretty good friends haha And then they gave us chocolates too hahaha so much food.... too much hahaha
Okay so the work in Whakatane is good, door knocking is like all we do , and just trying to get the branch members involved. But its all goods cause even if we don't find new people to teach we always have little miracles everyday! Here is a little experience that happened with one of our investigators Wharenui. We had such a neat experience on Thursday. We were planning to walk to Wharenui's house to start the 15 steps to stop smoking program, on the way there we decided to take a short cut instead of our normal route and to door knock homes on Churchill St. If we felt prompted as we were walking to Wharenui's house. As we passed Paterson St. off of Churchill a car was turning in and stopped in the middle of the street and out popped Wharenui. He was yelling "my missionary girls.. my missionary girls" at us to get our attention! I know for a fact that Heavenly Father prompted us to take the shortcut and leave 10 minutes earlier than what we were planning so we could cross paths with Wharenui at that time. Wharenui walked with us back to his home which was quite a way and he told us he was driving to Paterson St to see a member, Brother Morgan because he was about to have a smoke and was going crazy. So he at first tried calling Brother Morgan but he didn't
answer so instead of falling into temptation he ran next door to his neighbor to drive him over to Brother Morgan's house which is when he saw us walking on that street. I know that Heavenly Father is mindful of all of his children and that he is miraculous. Trusting in Gods timing is a lesson I will continue to learn through out my life but I am grateful I was able to experience this little miracle with Sister Gase and Wharenui!
