Ill timing

 


Jack and I had some ill timing for our illness. I caught a bad upper respiratory infection, probably covid but I didn't have the tests to prove it. I was in bed for a week, the first 4 days with a temperature between 101-102. [38.8 C] I was coughing hard enough to throw up. Jack stayed with me a couple of days but also had to go into the office for a couple of days because it was zone conference and lots was happening. I had the immunizations all set up to be administered during zone conference and then didn't get to help with any of that. I really don't know what happened and can't find the notes. Also we were doing something for English Connect. Jack wasn't spared the illness, although his was shorter. He hit 39.4 C {Over 103 F] but was only out a couple of days. Afterwards we are just struggling to regain our stamina. We are ready for a nap by the middle of the day. I guess we really have become senior missionaries.

Fjordlands

 We spent the day cruising through Fjordland National Parks. It's a series of fjords accessible mainly by the sea. The scenery was gorgeous. They get a lot of rainful here and today was not an exception. It made the many waterfalls so much more impressive. We were outside on the deck for a bit, but it was chilly so we came inside to watch the scenery go by. We managed to see some penguins from the distance and an albatross up close. Didn't get pictures of any animals. Just to prove that it is us here, even with our colds.

Noumea, New Caledonia

Image
 This small group of islands in Micronesia were discovered by the French. It helped me realize how bad my French still is. I had a few short conversations with people, but between my deaf ear on the right side and my lack of memory, the conversations were very brief. The water here is beautiful blue. Approaching the island, there were some cool coral reefs that caused the water to do some weird beach waves in the middle of the ocean. It was pretty awesome to watch the water break and roll in over the water. The pictures don't do it justice.  The port was a protected cove with lots of hills. We walked uphill through the Plaza de Pais. From the viewpoint, we got a great view of the harbor and the area behind us. They also had a statue of a woman praising God at the viewpoint.  Jack had to do a Touchdown Jesus pose with the Hail Mary. We also visited the Catholic Church, or as Jack called it, the Church of Barry Manilow. The priest's picture did look amazingly like him. Love...

Auckland Temple

 On our "shortcut" home, we are seeing many temples. The first stop on our temple trip is Auckland. Jack and I went Friday night to do some initiatory and catch a session. We then went Saturday night with former Tacloban Missionaries. Only Sister Nau made it. We had hoped to see former Elder Fruean, Sister Lolohea and Sister Fue, who had recently gotten married.
