LOW KEY WEEK

This was a low key week.  New legal matters were slow on coming in.  So I worked on staying abreast of ongoing cases.  In my spare time I worked out and read.  In Covid 19 related news (is there any other news in this day and age?)  Auckland moved to level 2 and the rest of NZ moved to level 1.  At level 2 groups of up to 100 can meet.  So Bishop Dil contacted us and asked Sis. Gubler and I to proceed with the Temple Preparation class that he’d asked us to teach a few weeks ago.  I was happy with the additional spiritual work and prepared for our first class, preparing a power point.  Alisa was in charge of contacting the list of participants provided by the bishopric and inviting them to class, and advertising on the YSA facebook page.  No Church services yet due to the pandemic, so we’ll have the church house to ourselves when we teach the class at 11 a.m. today.  We anticipate somewhere between 6-10 YSA’s in our class. 

The elections in NZ usually happen in September, but were postponed until October due to the pandemic.  We watched the debate between Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and her challenger Judith Collins.  It was fairly tame and both were articulate, I’d call the debate a draw. 

On Saturday our senior missionaries group took the ferry to Auckland where we visited the Marine Museum.  It turned out to be a beautiful sunny day.  Alisa and I had seen the museum before so we just enjoyed walking around to view the various exhibits.  We all then took the ferry back and ate lunch together at a restaurant in Devonport.
