We are really off to Gisborne this time

The Shower Curtain

We left for Gisborne a few hours later than planned on the Friday, about midday. The route we took passed the beautiful lakes in Rotorua. We would have bypassed Whakatane but we needed to give the Elders there their car RegO I think that what they call it. It’s a bit like displaying our old tax disc in the uk. But ours begins at the beginning of the month New Zealand could be any day of the month. You have to display it on that day not before and not after.  Although our poor missionaries were without their car for two day, shame, they had to ride their bikes. So by the time we reach Gisborne it was about 6pm. We were both very tired but we had to meet up with two Elders to buy a shower curtain!!!! The shower curtain they have is too short for their shower so we had to measure up and buy a longer size. I’m sorry but I just have to show you what they chose and how much fun they had and are going to have with it!!!!! But first we had to pick up the Elders from the chapel and while we were there we gave the Zone Leaders the post for their Zone and also met up with the sisters. So it was a nice catch up for all of us. We went back to the Elders flat to make sure the shower curtain was long enough and while we were there the Zone leaders arrived because we forgot to give them the butter knife they needed. Gosh we lead such an exciting life and to be honest we have a lot of fun and laughs with the missionaries.  So we got back to our motel about 8.30 another long day. But hey ho we can have a lie in tomorrow.
