Dunedin

We are waiting for more pictures from Connor. He went from training Elder Mataupu from Samoa to Elder Hussein from Fiji. He is learning about so many different cultures. He is still a district leader. He had 2 baptisms last month and is working hard for more before his next transfer. We love you Connor! Watch for more pictures to come soon!

Welcome to Dunedin district leader!

Congratulations Connor!

6 months!

District Leader!

Transfer to Dunedin!

Dunedin is in the very south of the South Island of New Zealand. Connor is on the Pacific Ocean coast in the suburb of St. Clair, which is famous for surfing. It looks absolutely beautiful! We love you Connor!

meet rachel

Meet Rachel. We love her! We have never met, yet feel like we've known her forever. Elder Rawle and Elder Tinker baptized her. She has been a blessing in Connor's life. Connor has been a blessing in her life. Funny how the gospel works that way. Connor will be leaving Rangiora next month. Change is good, yet leaving Rachel, her husband Kelvin, and her 3 great kids will be very hard for Connor. The bond was immediate and very strong.

How grateful we are for missionary work that brings lives together and sends blessings that last through eternity. We are grateful to Rachel. She has been a bright ray of sunshine for Connor and for us. 7300 miles divide us, but we are closer than ever.
