Week #11 - September 10, 2017 - Sunny Hills



 Sister Sughroue, Sister Tauhiro & Ocean
 (sister tauhiro found ocean in a park a year ago and
 I was the last one to teach ocean before she got baptized!!)
KIA ORA! 
This week was so good! I got transferred to Sunnyhills (Glenview area) and am companions with Sister Tauhiro!!!! She's such a good missionary and is so humble! She is trying to teach me French and Tahitian while I help her with English and a little bit of Tongan. haha I'm so grateful for her!! This is her last transfer too so I'm killing my Tahitian mum. haha My last day in Tuhikaramea with Sister Howard was so sad but good! I'm gonna miss the people, it's crazy how fast you grow to love people you just meet! Wednesday night the Tuiotis had us over for dinner with our recent convert Ocean and her brother Jbz who is now getting baptized woohoo!! We had a mean as feed which was so yum, I was so sad to say bye to the Tuiotis cause they were family to me! I also did some Samoan dancing one last
My Samoan family, the Tuiotis
(they gave me lollies and a lava lava <3)
time with my beautiful Samoan sisters (the Tyrell fam)! Tuhikaramea is progressing so well! But I'm so excited to get to work with Sister Tauhiro in Sunny Hills and my new ward is so awesome! The bishop is from Cook Islands and has family in Tahiti so he loves Sister Tauhiro and hopefully me haha but there are heaps of Tongans and Samoans in my new ward and we get fed every night!! 

Since being with Sister Tauhiro these past couple of days in my new area, we have had so many MIRACLES!! It's so true obedience brings blessings but exact obedience brings miracles! We have these 3 sisters that we are teaching and they came to all 3 hours of church and Rose's baptism and the fireside at the vc yesterday! They told us they love coming to church cause it gets them outside of the house away from home, they come from a tough background and the oldest has a 2 year old boy
Rose's baptism!! Savi, Sister Sughroue, Rose,
Sister Howard, and Rose's mum 
and a baby girl and is the legal guardian of her other 2 sisters. They always want us to come teach them and are so keen to learn more! Heavenly Father truly prepared them for Sister Tauhiro and I and I am just so grateful! Evanne, the youngest sister, is getting baptized this month and hopefully her sisters will decide to as well! we also had a lesson yesterday at church with Karisa who is 10, and we invited her to be baptized and she said yes and her friend that was over asked us if she could get baptized to, so we are just waiting for permission from Waimania's parents. And after the lesson Karisa's parents asked us how they can come back to church cause they know they really need to. They are less active and just moved to NZ from Aussie! ahh So many miracles!!

 Sister Sione, Sister Sughroue, Sister Tauhiro, and Ocean <3
I'm so happy to be in Sunny Hills! There is so much potential here and prepared people that are ready to learn more about their Savior and accept his beautiful gospel! The gospel is truly for everyone!! And I know that the Lord has so many miracles and blessings instore for each and everyone of yous! Also you should all read "Songs Sung and Unsung" by Jeffrey R. Holland. its so good and one of my fav talks! Just remember that as you carryout your week that you all have a place in God's "choir" and he has a plan for you. I know that each and everyone of you is loved by our father in heaven! I love you all HEAPS!! ofa lahi atu
