Here we go.....

At the MTC, pointing out Auckland on the big map.

The senior missionaries in our group in the MTC. We came to love each of their Spirits and had so much fun with our young MTC teachers that taught us how to feel the Spirit as we work with new investigators or less active members.

We visited with Haley and Matt's kids (Brayden, Madyson and Jordan - Makayla is missing) between the MTC and before leaving to Auckland. Oh, how difficult it was to say "goodbye" to each of our children and grand-children.

Tryin' on the compression socks! OW OW!!! The medical staff insists these things will reduce the chances of getting blood-clots on long airline flights. They are sooooo fashionable I may get used to 'em.
