More Scenery

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.
