So where are we off to this weekend Elder Saunders? That
as always depends on what has been happening during the week, although this is
something that was reported two weeks ago. One of the missionaries washing
machine wasn’t working. So off we went to the north east of our mission to
replace it. On the Friday we left and checked out a flat on our way in Waihi.
We have been there before and knew that we had to pass through a short gorge
which was very pretty but from then on it was new territory for us. We took the
coastal route which included very windy roads. Which inspired us to create a
wonderful original musical number to a familiar tune. How my family have to
suffer as they are the only ones to hear it. So think yourselves lucky. But
because they seemed to enjoy it we created yet another musical number on the
Saturday, just for our family again. But if I get any personal request I may
send it to you privately. Back to our travels. On the Friday we finished our
travelling at Coromandel and stayed the night in a motel overlooking the
harbour. Elder Saunders swapped the washing machine over for another one only
to find that the new one was leaking. But thanks to the owner of the flat going
to the hardware store and getting a jubilee clip the new machine was now
repaired and working. While Elder Saunders was busy working I was enjoying
listening to the birds. I am so hooked on getting a close up photos of a Tui and
as yet do not have any. I can hear them but not see them and today was no
exception.
On Saturday we travelled from Coromandal to Thames where
we cleared out and cleaned up a flat. We were so tired and ready to go straight
home but we had to pop into another flat to pick up a door to a tumble dryer.
We had a phone call from two sisters whose sink was blocked. They had tried
unblocking it but were not successful. So you guessed it we stopped by there as
well. Elder Saunders spent nearly a couple of hours trying to unblock it but
finally had to give in so he will be calling a plumber in next week. Meanwhile
I took the opportunity to do the dishes and remove unwanted insects from their
flat!
We were looking forward to an early night when our
neighbour, Allan, asked if we would like to come around and see a documentary
about the Lancaster Bomber. So off we went again only after about an hour I
could not stay awake so left the men to finishing watching it.

We ate our fish (sausage) and chips by the Harbour.
Such beautiful scenery! I'm so glad you are enjoying yourselves!
