The legal work continues to come in and keep us busy. Seems like lately I’m dealing with banking,
tax and contract issues.
Elder and Sister Whatcott finally arrived from America. We met them at the MTC, but they had visa issues,
so they spent the first 6 weeks of their mission at the family history center
in Utah, before arriving this week. They
are working at the Institute in Auckland teaching classes. We had them over for dinner Friday evening and
a visit.
Saturday morning we invited Elder and Sister MacMurray to go
with us as we drove to the north of Auckland for the first time. There was beautiful countryside everywhere,
very green. We drove to the town of
Leigh, where we did the Matheson Bay Bush walk, then we hiked the Leigh coastal
walkway. We had intermittent
sprinkles. As we drove back we stopped
in the small town of Matakana where they had a farmer’s market going on so we
stopped. We enjoyed seeing the various
booths at the Matakana Village farmer’s market.
I bought some tiny yams, but otherwise this farmer’s market was a little
pricey. Finally we stopped at Charlie’s
gelato which all the senior missionaries rave about. I treated everyone to a cone.
I spent the rest of the afternoon preparing for our first
class which we will be the facilitators for, How to Start and Grow Your Own
Business, at the YSA ward beginning today after church. It is part of the self-reliance courses which
the Church has put out. Monday night Alisa
and I are in charge of the YSA monthly family home evening, discussing how to
be good citizens.
