 We said good-bye to our sweet families we have been teaching. This I want to remember:
Nicole is a Maori and is striving to get to the temple by the end of the year. Ti is from the Cook Islands and a very supportive husband.

 Nukami had an incredibly hard upbringing and he still has an uphill battle, but he has been on the other side and knows that is not for him. He is only 19 but was given 3 years to think about his future. He was asked to speak at a "Why I Believe Fireside" to about 200 people. He was so nervous but once he started talking about joining the church and not about his past, he stopped being nervous and talked freely. Who could resist a smile like this?

This lady is aptly named "Joy". She was baptized almost a year ago. She let us come and practice on her. She had never read the Book of Mormon. Elder Huntzinger made it come alive for her and she still was struggling some with reading. She does come to church now and goes to the Otahuhu Ward. She has a wonderful accent!

Love these all, and we will love our new ward when we have given up getting one last lady into her new ward. That didn't happen last week, because she had a friend in trouble and not the week before that because her dad was very ill...... maybe this coming Sunday? We will see.
