Hey Mum and Whanau,

Thanks for all the emails and pictures. What a strong spirit I feel from you all. I can just imagine sitting in our living room and sharing mission stories with you all. Don’t cry mum - but I am - I miss you all and love you all so much. 

I got my "Trunky letter" today, which informs me that they're organizing my flight plans for coming home. I just need some information. Please send our Bishop's name and our Stake President's name. I was going to request  the mission office if I could get a direct flight home but they said usually they take a different route cause its cheaper. It’s all good. 

It was so sad to hear that Aunty Kun has not been doing well. Take care of her mum!

It was awesome to hear that Jordan is preparing for his mission. It is the best decision that I’ve made in my life and I know that it’ll help him for the rest of his life as well.

There are things that you learn on your mission that seem so indescribable and you just can’t explain them. We had ZLC last week and it seemed that as we were there I was being enlightened as to how the things we do now as leaders in the mission will help and will be very similar to things that we'll do after the mission. It’s been so awesome. 

tulda ng sinabi ko nakaraan linggo hindi ko talagang maipaliwanag ung mga natutunan ko dito sa mission pero nagpapasalamat pa rin ako dahil bahagi ako ng totoong simbahan ng diyos. 

Oh – so we got new mission rules.  We are allowed to email friends, different family members and recent converts in the mission. Cool aye? So now I am allowed to email Jared and Charlton and my other mates. The only thing is I don’t have their email addresses. Ayos lang. Also our email time has now been extended to two hours for everyone. Double cool aye?

So other than that not much has happened this week but the work has been going well and we have another baptism on the 23rd of March. It’s awesome. Take care and have a great week. 

Hey Mum & Dad, I am so jealous you guys get to go and see Sister Nicola in her mission.

Oh and for my birthday I already have a dinner set up (he he) but a small package of little treats would be awesome. Anything would be happy – its up to you guys.

The mission rings I ordered are done but I haven’t got them yet. The lady still has to send them to me. All goods - I’ll send a picture when I get them. 

Love you all heaps.
