Kia ora whanau!
We had a fun p-day today. But yes I am now in Te Awamutu. It is a small town but not near as small as I was thinking when I got here. Its about as big as Show Low maybe a tad less. So far its a pretty good area! But guess who I am with for the time being! Technically I am in a trio until he goes home but I am with Elder Olcott and Elder Powell. Really good to be with Elder Olcott again and see him off. He goes home later this week. But Elder Powell is a good guy too. I have served around him in the past a couple different times. We live in a flash as flat though. Its got 2 bathrooms, a master, and 2 smaller bedrooms. Its even in a gated community. But things are good here. My birthday was decent enough. Nothing spectacular but it was good and everyone was quite nice with what they did for me. Really nice what Brandon did. He came and surprised me. Or at least tried to. I guess I am a bit smarter than the average bear or something and figured out the whole plot days before it happened. But it was good either way! And my companions each shouted me something so that was kind (to shout something means to buy for you. Kind of like can you shout me a feed means can you buy me a meal.)
I am a zone leader now but there's really not much we have to do. We are in charge of quite a few missionaries but its nothing glorious or anything to become a zone leader. We take numbers and different information about the areas that missionaries serve in and relay them to the assistants. We also just travel the zone and take supplies around the zone and attend different district meetings. Our mission is only divided into 4 zones. We cover southwest Hamilton and all the way down to Taranaki. Our zone is the second largest. But I really feel like my biggest job is just to be a good example to the missionaries we serve with, especially the trainees. Everyone just seems to look to zone leaders as the big examples (even though we are no different, just extra responsibility). But yeah that's about it as far as I understand. But things are good!
