Time for Transfers!

We dread transfers....it always means we will be losing one (or some) of our Gisborne Elders!

I get a little attached to these boys, so it always makes me sad.

We were especially sad to say good-bye to Elder Fiu from Samoa.

We have really bonded with this boy!  He is such a crack up, and has the cutest BIG smile!

We lost three Elders in this transfer...Elder Hughes, Elder Keyes, and Elder Fiu.

Our last zone meeting together...

Lonne, Me, Elder Fiu, Elder Cannon, Elder Batsagan, Elder Jenkins

Elder Cannon, Elder Keyes

All loaded up and heading out

 The car is loaded up with the trailer, bikes, suit cases, and some excited Elders!

It's always exciting for them to move to a new place.  

These three Elders all went to the Auckland area.

Good-bye Elder Fiu, Hughes and Keyes....hope to see you soon!

But on the flip side of the sadness...we got three new Elders in our area! :)

We had two of them over for dinner on Sunday. I haven't met the third one yet....

he lives about an hour  away from us to the south. 

Our two new Elders are in the middle of the picture below...

Elder Leetham from Papa New Guinea, and Elder Mayer from Wellington, NZ.

Elder Leetham is now with Elder Cannon, 

 Elder Mayer is with Elder Jenkins...they are the zone leaders.

Welcome to the Gisborne Gang!
