It was a good week. We had a big temple trip and conference
this week so we were pretty swamped. The work is going good though and we have
five progressing investigators right now! I have been doing pretty good about
coming home up until now watching conference and going to the temple gave
me heaps of answers I wasn't even looking for when I come home! But it
also made me a little homesick it is weird! Still working hard and loving it
but I think I am ready to come home!
I haven't heard from Primary’s. I did email Cheryl a while
ago, I will just worry about it when I get home though because I am not sure
what to do yet? I know I want to live in Salt Lake again and finish my Nursing
but I know I will find a job so we will just see. Just trying to stay focused
while I am still here!
Aunty Sally came down to visit TeAniwa and Sonny this
weekend and on her way back up north she stopped and said hi! It was soooo good
to see her it is seriously indescribable how happy I am when I see the people I
love!
It is starting to get really cold here and rains all the
time!! I am getting tired of the cloudy days! With that said a family trip to
Bryce Canyon would be the best thing ever!! Time is going sooooo fast! And
I love you all!!

Malo e lelei Famili!!!
It has been a crazy week!! We did so much this Easter
weekend.. Taupo is one of the biggest tourist places in New Zealand so we had
so many tourists in town for the Easter weekend! We passed out pass along cards
at the Car show and met a couple Easter Bunnies! Lol We sang at a relief
society fireside last night my companion and I and I played the guitar it was
really fun!
We have some really amazing investigators right now and I
don’t think they will meet the qualifications for baptism this month, but it’s
all good because I know they will get there even after I leave its really
exciting!
We have a temple trip this Thursday that I am super excited
for!! I am so in a fog these days though cause I know my time is cutting so
short yet I can’t wrap my mind around it! It is the weirdest feeling! So I
mostly just throw myself into the work and enjoying my beautiful New Zealand
and the people here and try not to think about it!
Funny I was looking at my plane ticket and I will leave at
about 730 pm on May 5 and get home about 730 pm on May 5. Ha-ha I will get home
the same time that I left. hahaha I have been slowly collecting souvenirs my
whole mission and I think I am about squared away except for a few treats
I will by closer to when I come home!
When I get back I will probably just have to borrow clothes
from Glick until I get a job. Ha-ha I don’t even remember what I have but most
my clothes from here are either trashed or ugly only a few worth bringing back.
We will have to have a pedicure night to because my feet have taken a beating
out here! Food wise just make sure we have mixed veggies (peas, carrots, and
corn) in the freezer please!
Ofa Atu!!

Hey Family-
It’s been a good week! I sent Sister Paulo home and it was
sad I miss her heaps! Then we went to transfers which was awesome!! I got to
see a bunch of people probably for the last time. My new companion is Sister
Moore. We were roommates in the MTC! She is awesome and I can already tell this
area needed her but it is weird being with an American they are really
intense!! I think it must be to prepare me to come home because I have chilled
out heaps on my mission. To many islander companions:) Things are good though. I also got my flight information this week I
will fly into salt lake at 7:40pm on May 5. Crazy!!
Love you all!

Malo e lelei Famili-
Oku i ai eku manatu koe! Things
are good here. I am living in Rotorua this week with the Fairy Springs Ward
Sisters because Sister Paulo catches the bus at four this afternoon. I am
really going to miss her and it has been so hard getting her ready to go home
especially knowing that I only have a little over a month left. We still worked
super hard though this week and had a great time. I won’t find out who my new
companion is until tomorrow though.
The sisters here in Rotorua are
both pretty new and its strange being around them. It’s going to be a long few
days plus I miss my area. I always do when I leave my areas. You just get really attached and it feels
like home! Plus, we set someone for baptism this week and now I am not going to
see her for a few days and that is hard!
Oh well, Nofo Malohi right?haha
I miss you all but the days are counting down now I hate it. hahaha I can’t
imagine leaving New Zealand. A lot of my mission friends go home this transfer
too though, so that will make it a little easier. Pretty soon I won’t know anyone. I love you!!
'Ofa Atu! Vakai koe!

Kia Ora Family-
It was a really good week we
had another conference up in Tauranga this week on Monday which I think I
already told you because we emailed on Tuesday. We have had a lot of rain and
wind they call Hurricane's, Cyclones here so that is what it is I guess. This
is the second Cyclone since I have been in in New Zealand it’s not too bad
though. I heard it hit Fiji pretty bad though.
This is Sister Paulo's last
week as a missionary this Sunday I will be driving her to Rotorua and next
Monday she will catch the bus to Hamilton I think! CRAZY!! That means I will be
starting my last transfer next week! Only 5 and a half weeks and I will be
home.
Things are good. We found three new investigators this week
and we have 3 progressing towards baptism and Tekiri is doing AMAZING since her
baptism!
Anyway love you heaps!

Hey Family!!
It was an awesome week! We had Tekiri Morehu's baptism on
Saturday and it was beautiful! We had more people at the baptism than that come
to church on Sunday. She looked lovely and had such an amazing spirit there. I
sang for part of it with Elder Noa Aiono so scary and public singing is
definitely not my forte but anything for Tekiri!:) Also we had to speak in
sacrament on Sunday and we only got asked like a couple days before. We had the baptism and everything so all I
had time to do was write and outline and that is the first time I havent
written it out word for word but it went really well and everyone liked it I
think. So, that was a big step for me
too!
The reason I am emailing late is we had another conference
with Elder Neilsen of the seventy yesterday and it was so good! I learned a lot
and I heard a lot of things that I needed to hear that will help me make some
more positive changes in my life. It also helped me make some big decisions.
I love you all and hope you have a great week!
Love Sister Miggin
