Hamilton...

Mostly what we did here was stop at the Hamilton Temple. It's the only temple in New Zealand and it's beautiful. It's set in the middle of nowhere with farm land all around it and the temple is just sitting on a hill. It's stunning to see the white set against such vivid green.

So we spent time doing baptisms for the dead on Saturday night and then we went to church on Sunday. We went to a Young Single Adult ward and after Church we were able to spend some time mingling with the youth there. We talked to a couple of girls who were very funny and told us that the biggest thing about the dialogue in New Zealand is that they like to speak in short words. They use the minimal amount possible. It's very funny.

Then on Sunday night the best thing ever happened! Well not really but I watched Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. It was so so cool to watch Lord of the Rings in New Zealand because you just watch the scenery go by in the movies and it looks so familiar because I've seen it now!
