Upon arriving at the airport at 5:45 a.m. and going to One Tree Hill where the clouds parted for just a moment for us to not get rained on, (which was a blessing during rainy season) we stood in the cold and dark of the twinkling lights below to get a 360 view of the mission below!
Sister Beia will be trained by Sister Selfaison!
Sister Mafi is now just with Sister Nalesoni her trainer! 
But the first 3 weeks of her mission she served with Sister Nalesoni and Sister Feao!
Sister Kamal is being trained by Sister Simeon!
Elder Vaolupe will train Elder Shepard!
Elder Leong was with Elder Ng--but is now being trained by Elder Luckhardt who was not at the transfer meeting!
Elder Smith will train Elder Tito!
Elder Greening is training Elder Fafai!
If this isn't a testimony of the blessings of a mission for senior couples, I don't know what is! Elder Walch and Elder Robertson think they are 21 years old! 
Left to right: Elders Kimball, Baraniko, Mayer, Fuataga, So'oalo!
Elder Pre on the left is the newest Zone Leader being shown the way by Elder Bridenstine (right)!

Elders Amy and Sorenson attempt to shove the trailer door shut when nothing else works!
Wonderful bonds are forged on missions - Sisters Feao (left), Sister Martinsen is moving out of the VC to the field!
Head 'em up---move 'em out!
Elders Adams (top right),Elder Fiaui (top left), Elder Hunt (in front of Elder Adams), Elder Berge (in front of Elder Fiaui), Elder Hutchison (in front of Elder Hunt), then I think President and Sister Porter are obvious!
Elder Heimuli had to leave us a few days earlier due to visa issues!
President Thomas S. Monson, (you can just see him waving from the front seat, on the right side of the bus) President Henry B. Eyring and his wife, and Bishop Burton and his wife came to New Zealand to look at the issues surrounding the church college in the Hamilton area. I don't think they were even here for an entire day! No public gatherings were held, just a few private meetings with needful members, but we will take them however we can get them. It was just nice knowing that they were on the same soil. We do love our Prophet dear!
First Sister Sessions fell down the stairs outside her flat and broke her ankle--bad! She was in the hospital for 7 days before she came to the top of the list for her operation---in which she got a plate and 7-10 screws in order to put her ankle back together again!
Elder Subramanian, on the left was biking along one day and heard a pop in his knee and the rest is history---inflamation and discoloring, filling with fluid that needed to be drained. He was in for over a week with IV antibiotics!
Which brings us to Elder Wigginton's toe---don't faint mom---he just tripped on a stair going to a lesson and in the middle of the lesson felt some pain, looked down and it was twice its usual size. He had fractured the big toe which required a plate and screws to hold it into position while it healed properly! He is so embarrassed over all this fuss for just a big toe, that the story of how it occured is growing to include running into a burning building to rescue a whimpering child! Aren't we glad that didn't really happen---we are very happy about the REAL story! They all are doing well and healing nicely! We hope that this is the end of the hospital stories!
Here is the Whangarei/Kaikohe Zones up in the north country!
This is their idea of a crazy photo---I thought you might get a kick out of it!
Elders Larsen, Hayes, Tau and Mahoney trying to wait patiently for the lunch que to reduce!
Elders Manu, Tau, Palaiti, Mafua, Watson and Smith---all in the que!
I can see Elders Eckery, Ng, Christensen, Gonda, Spence, Cameron, Saunders and Snow from left to right!
Doing what missionaries do very well! EAT!!!!
Here is the Hamilton, Rotorua, Gisborne, Tauranga Zones with a heap of the Area Office Couples attending where they can get in Zone Conference and a trip to the Temple in one day!
Not everyone was ready for this photo in the Waterview/Panmure, Tamaki, Manurewa/Papakura Zones---but this was the more clear of the photos we got!
