Welcome to Wellington!

 Sister Carter, Elder Dorius and Elder Collins arrive on the All Blacks plane just visible in the background. Somehow our missionaries from the Provo MTC arrived on two different planes.

As we waited for the Auckland MTC intake, President Kezerian held interviews.

 We picked up all the luggage and found some comfy seats.
 Yea! More sisters.

Queenstown has a small branch but you certainly can't beat the view.
It's always great to have time to catch up with President and Sister Leota, serving in the Samoa Apia Mission

We were warmly welcomed to the Kiwi Haka.




First the Sisters learned a dance.


 Then the Elders learned the Haka
