We LOVE making fresh lemonade!
It has been such a treat to pick lemons in the yards of our friends!
We were a little disappointed this week to have three of our baptisms fall through...
Max and Neville were suppose to get married at noon, and baptized at five.
The baptism was postponed, but we had a wonderful time at the wedding!
It was a big step for the two of them, and we were proud of them!
Also, one of our investigators ended up in the hospital and will be there for a few weeks.
She is pregnant, not due until November. Her water broke!
We will probably be transferred before she is able to be baptized.... :(
So.... we had a couple of disappointments this week
So...we made
LEMONADE!!
(Literally)
The Wedding
Maxine and Neville
This is Maxine's daughter....she is my little buddy!
Maxine's son, Kezchon...he's a great kid!
He was baptized a few weeks ago, and will be the one who baptizes Max Neville
The Barbecue
Maxine and Neville invited everyone over for a barbecue after the wedding.
They barbecued everything from Lamb Chops, to Sausages, to Steaks, to Chicken...
You name it, they threw it on the barbecue!
Henry Tawhuri
He is in our bishopric....Maxine's brother
Solomon
Check out this hair doo! Notice the little pony tail, too:)
He is a stand up comedian...so he was good about me taking pictures of the doo!
He's not bald...he shaves it this way!!
The day of the wedding was the opening day of the Rugby World Cup being held in New Zealand.
This country is CRAZY about Rugby, especially their ALL BLACKS Rugby team.
This is the official jersey....they are over $200 over here.
We heard they are only about $60 in the U.S.
Havin' a good time at the barbecue!

She made one for me to take home as a keep-sake

I just had to take a picture of Maxine's eye lids!
They were "Bling" to the extreme!
Maxine's dog was roaming around the barbecue...
licking his chops...
and drooling over all the food! Aahhhhhh!
He is way bigger than he looks in this picture!
