Where has the time gone

We are still here working away.  Things are settling down a bit as the huge growth rate is slowing now that we have 252 missionaries.  We have transfers on Wednesday with 9 going home and only 5 coming in.  Still lots of visa issues, we have 8 missionaries serving in other missions including a senior couple.  One of the missionaries going home is Elder Hopoate who gave up a million dollar footie (rugby) contract to serve a mission.  He has been an inspiration to many people.  He will surely be missed.  You can learn more about him on Mormon.org.

We haven't had any exciting p days for a while, we have found we simply needed some rest and relaxation. We should get another office couple the middle of December and we are looking forward to that.

Getting ready for a stake activity this afternoon.  There is a baking contest - I think I can win with Snickerdoodles.  American cookies have a lot more sugar than Australian biscuits.

Will write more tomorrow.
