We are leaving the “land of the long white cloud” this is the phrase the Kiwi's say for New Zealand. We woke up in Temple View on Tues. and went to the temple. Another beautiful day. I hope no one is tired of hearing me say that. Laurie and Rick were called to be the witness couple,. What a treat.
This is Rangi, she has done all the recorded history of the church in NZ, beginning with the missionaries that arrived in 1854.
After the history, we took a tour of the church college. It is shut down at the moment, waiting for the church to decide what to do with it. It is a shame that the church is letting this landmark fall into such disrepair. The CCN was closed in 2009 (Dec. 5th) The kiwi’s are very sad and some are trying to ask the church to preserve some of the buildings. This is a waiting to see game at this point. The temple and college were built 1958, and the country of NZ would not let the church put an angel Moroni be on the top. There is still no angel on top. 
This is Penni, the Strothers niece. she is working at the Milk Bar up the road. She is 17 and Graduates from High School this year.
Good night and in the morning we are off to Auckland to catch our plane for the USA.
