Bro. Peni--Our local Hero!

We could all learn much from Bro. Peni! He goes in and out of the hospital and never eats himself and yet--we get a call saying, "I've got my cooks preparing lunch for the office on Friday." Some of his cooks forgot so he made soup and Maori bread by himself! He has housed the missionaries and does their laundry, cleans up their flats and inspires them for the past 30 years! Yes, a local hero around these parts!

Elder Dixon and Gramlich---we see you dipping into what was suppose to be President's tin of cookies! You can take the Elder out of the boy, but you can't take the boy out of the Elder! They are wonderful and deserve all the cookies they receive!

Even Elders need operations sometimes!

Elders Watkins, Tamale, Ale, Samani, Saena, Gardner and Brown are about all I can make out in this photo. Maybe your eyes are better than mine.

I probably shouldn't attempt this one, but the ones in the front are Elders Maneha, Mahoney, Hammond and Mafua.

This is a bit easier---the Hamilton New Zealand Temple makes an exquisite backdrop for Sisters Taaboia, Wolfgramm, Selfaison and Elders Hammond, Kelemete, Ale, and Fausau!

Your Sons and Daughters are growing up!

Recently, I had a birthday and I was surprised by how delightfully creative your sons and daughters are! They are not only losing their wonderful personalities that we all know and love ---but through God's perfect plan for us, they are learning how to love others as themselves and to care for them and reach out and lift another! God's plan is perfect ---as we trust in Him, rich blessings are in store!


Elders Guthrie and Shipley are wonderful together and sent this to me!

Elder Docking sends his best!

Elders Maneha and Southwick display their artwork!

Sisters Bush and LamChueng find these treasures in the store, that they would have purchased for me----but the intent and picture are worth it all!

Elder Forsyth and Lyman came up with this creation! They are learning to love others and show them---you can be proud!

Look Mom---I'm using my helmet and backpack!

Elders Davidson and Reynolds gets chosen to appear on the cover for the Waitakere City Council Transport Project flyer. Yes, those are our "Mormon Missionaries!"
