Right before lunch, we took the missionaries attending the Zone Leader Council to the garage for the Porter Family Halloween Relay! Halloween is not celebrated in New Zealand for the most part---which is a good thing---but we thought we would share a bit of a family tradition with our missionaries. A Halloween Relay goes like this: Two teams, same bags with items marked on the outside (e.g., Bat wings (beef jerky), Cat's heart (a whole tomato), Werewolf brains (spagetti), I think you get the picture). Inside is the contents in a plastic zip loc. When the relay begins, each participant eats the contents of their bag as fast as they can before the next one can begin eating his. The first side done is the winner!

Come on Elder Ale, that Rat Dung is only Chocolate covered raisins---it can't be that bad!
I wonder if he will think about this experience years from now, when he is feeding his baby, banana baby food, and thinking that he had to eat it in a Halloween relay with the idea that it was PUSS! He may need psychological help with this one!

They did it---the relay was won by the team on the left and they are all still smiling! Another successful Halloween Relay recorded for posterity!

So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen,Adieu!
Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you!!!
Or perhaps Kia Ora or Tofa or Alua would be more appropriate for us here! Nevertheless, we will miss you all! We love you!
Back to front: President Porter, Elders Vivaka, Larson, Smith, Schaumkel, Forsyth, Tamale, Sisters Bush, Porter, Bielecki and Tripple-our last of her kind, senior proselyting missionary!
Wonderful new group of the Lord's missionaries!
Our New Missionaries!
I didn't get a picture of Elder Davis with his new trainer, Elder Jones, except in a car leaving the parking lot after transfers!
Elder Aldridge will be trained by Elder Guerrero, but somehow I didn't get his picture taken with them---I had 18 to get and some of them got lost in the massive shuffle that is transfers!
