We found this awesome Chinese park this week. It is just so cool. I want to show it to Ryan!!!!
So this week the Ward Mission Leader gave us a list of homes of people to see if people still live there or not. Most of the houses in New Zealand have a large fence around them, and one of the houses we were checking had a fence about as big as me. We walked in and my companion shuts the gate locking it behind us. As I am walking up to the house, and a massive bulldog comes around the car with a toy in his mouth! It got much closer to us and rather just stopped and stared and started growling. We just freeze and don't move. We know that bulldogs have killed people in New Zealand. I kind of crouch down, thinking that it might let me pet it. But instead, it just started twitching its lip and growling louder. Then it just started coming at me so fast. It jumped straight at my leg to bite it, and I jumped and it barely missed me and then it trotted off as if it was so proud. I have never seen anything like that before in my life, and i was shaking so hard when I left that I had to stop and say a prayer to my Heavenly Father thanking Him for not letting that dog kill me. There must have been an angel telling that dog to turn around and leave us alone. We are going to go back this week and get a picture of that ugly dog to always remember that moment. I still can't believe that there was no "Beware of Dog" sign to warn us!!!
I can't believe the news about Ryan!!! [His friend who he baptized the very first part of his mission, is coming to spend Christmas with us] I am so excited to see him, I am probably going to start crying when I see him. This is going to be the best Christmas ever. We also had a trunk or treat this week. It wasn't as big as in the states, but it was fun to see people doing something for Halloween.
If you can't tell from the pictures I've been sending, it is spring and it is getting hot! I am going to be hot, then come back to AZ and it just going to be a little cold, the back up to Idaho to freeze.
This week flew by and we had a fantastic week. I officially know the area better than my companion already! I love doing missionary work here because everyone has been really prepared for us and ready to jump into the water!
I totally forgot to take pictures of our flat again this week. We did some more deep cleaning this week, the water was totally yellow when I was done from scrubbing the shower, but you can see the metal again. Some people think that because you get clean in the shower means the shower doesn't get dirty!
Sorry I didn't get much time with you today. I had to spend my computer time making a flyer to use on exchanges with the Zone Leaders this week! We are going to hang with the zone leaders today, which means Elder Richardson! It should be a fun week!
I love you so much!!!
