Blow Out!

Early Tuesday morning we headed off to Gisborne to move the sisters to another flat. We were quite excited to see snow on the hills as we came closer to Gisborne. It rarely snows here which is why we were excited. We arrived in Gisborne just as the Missionaries were finishing their district meeting. What a lovely welcome I got. They all started singing happy birthday to me that was very special. I had actually baked cookies for them all, yummy. So that was a nice treat for them. But when we all went outside the missionaries said “you’ve got a flat tyre”, as if we would fall for that one. Did you see the post a few days ago when I asked what is Gisborne going to be remember for? Well here’s your answer. Flat tyres!!!! So yes we did have a flat tyre. Elder Saunders did inflate the tyre a little which was enough to get us to the garage. Then the drama started. The garage man said because we did not have their tyres on the front wheels the lease plan was invalid. Also one of the tyres was just on his limit so again invalid because he said it was under!!! Thankfully after he had checked with the leasing company they agreed to pay him so he changed the tyres.  As it all turned out alright in the end it also did us a favour because by the time the tyre was changed so also was the trailer loaded with all the sister’s furniture. Now it was time to supervise the unloading. Which did not take long because we had the help of 6 Elders and 4 Sisters.
We had a nice relaxing evening. While Elder Saunders and Elder Belliston chatted in the lounge Sister Belliston and I sat on her bed and watched an Australian cooking programme. I have watched it once before so knew a few of the couples. I think it is called ‘My Kitchen Rules’. It was fun to watch but more fun to chat with Sister Belliston.
