Sunday Sadness

Well today was our last Sunday in New Zealand, so we decided to go to our chapel. Actually it was the broadcast of the General Conference so all our Rotokauri Stake missionaries were there.
It was sad, our final goodbyes to some.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 We also went to the Visitors Centre to say bye to a few of the lovely VC couples we know and love.

We also said farewell to our Mission President and his lovely wife. President and Sister Rudd.

But the saddest of goodbyes was to our dear friends

Alan, Ann, Sandi and Witney our special friends and our neighbours.

Jucy Saturday!

Saturday morning we took a casual drive back to Christchurch Airport where we said goodbye to our Jucy Camper van. Hmm, now would I recommend them? Well the van was a bit small but it drove well and just had a few little things wrong with it. So yes I would recommend Jucy.
Our flight home was very pretty, I sat by the window this time. I looked for places I could recognise, how silly. But I did recognise Auckland airport!
The clouds look amazing from up here.
Luckily on the way home I called up Ann to let her know that we would be on time to her house. She had kindly offered to feed us Saturday and Sunday to save us having to shop and cook. Ann wasn’t home but Sandie was and she said she was in the middle of making our dinner then. Okay all sounds good so far but as we said bye Sandi said see you tomorrow. ??????? This is why I said luckily before. Ann, who was now home, had forgotten it was Saturday and Sunday and thought it was Sunday and Monday. Monday we are flying home! Then she checked her calendar and yep it was written there Saturday and Sunday. No probs as the dinner was cooking anyway. So we had a ready-made meal waiting for us, yummy.
