Life in the Big City

I can't believe that there are no pictures on my memory card!  I wonder if it could have gotten deleted in the mail?  I am so sad about losing all of my pictures from the last 9 months. [he mailed a memory card home this week and it was blank]. I had thought about backing it up, but I didn't have time, I thought, what could go wrong?  Oh well.

Here is a picture of my new city.  I am loving it here!  It is so fantastic.  Queenstown is beautiful, but the missionary work stinks, lots of finding.  But here the ward is huge. And we got 7 new investigators this week.  So, man the work here is great, and I am loving the people here!  I can't tell you how excited I am to be working here.  I love it!  District leader is really fun as well.  I feel like I get to know more of what is going on.  My district has really cool people who are all hard workers!  I love them and I love this place!  

Here is a picture of my family.... I trained Elder Richardson (my son), and now he is going to be training his new companion (my grandson).  I left Wednesday afternoon, a few hours after Elder Richardson's companion arrived.  This is taken outside our flat!  I flew to Christchurch and I went on the same plane to Palmerston North, so I didn't get to set my foot in Christchurch this time.  The flight was really windy into and out of Christchurch, so we had to take off and land sideways.  It was a bit scary.  All and all, it has been a fun week!

We do have a car here in my area but we share it with the sisters each week.  We don't get as many kilometers as we did in Queenstown, because we have a smaller area.  It is all good, we mostly just use it to drive to district meetings.  Elder Foremater is the bomb!  He has been out for only 6 weeks and has just finished his training, so I will be completing his training as well. We like the same types of things.... CARS!  And he is going into mechanical engineering too.  He is just great and is a hard worker so we are going to have some baptisms sometime soon!  We have 4 baptismal dates already set with people.  I am so excited to be here.  This week or next week we will be settings dates with those 7 new people that we found.  We are going to be really busy here!  I love it!  

Thank you guys for all your love and support!  I love you all so much!
