First Two Weeks


We have been here for two weeks now. I can honestly say that we have strongly felt the love that God has for these people. Ruth Ann and I are expanding our capacity to love others.

We have been involved in teaching members of the church as well as those who are not of our faith.

The branch of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints here in Turangi is small but the members are very faithful and devoted to Jesus Christ.

We are trying to properly speak the geographical names. For example we live on the street named Puataata in the town of Turangi in the district of Waikato, near the river Tongariro which flows flows into the lake Tauponuiatia (the great garment if Tia) which is also a volcanic crater. We live in the shadow of an extinct volcano Pihanga (which has snow on it from time to time).
We have travelled for meetings and/or teaching appointments in various cities: Tokorora, Rototua, Hamilton.
