As we have previously reported, we attract lots of interest when we are doing our blog thing. This NZ couple approached us yesterday, asking for assistance in establishing communications with the outside world. Of course, they are Windows users, and I am of little assistance there. Between the two of us, we got them logged on. It was funny to watch, he barely knew what he was doing, but before too long, he had established contact. This couple reported that they had just secured a job on the island with the NZ government. They are now looking at how to make it work. They wanted satellite TV, but the cost is astronomical ($2,500 NZ for installation, equipment, etc. and then a monthly fee). I guess they will have to depend on internet for their news.
We were headed out shopping for one last time. Here is Bubby with a hairdo. By the time we get where we are going, her bangs have always disappeared. Too much wind on our trusty steed.
Bubby wanted to snoop at the former mission home at Black Rock. The home was built in the 1950's by President Moody, the big kahoona around here. It was the mission home when I was a missionary. Since then, couples who are serving in the Cooks have lived here. Which brings us to Bubby. She wants to serve in the Cooks and live in this home. It has its own private beach and we found lots of interesting shells (most containing hermit crabs). She reckons that this beach is not as picked over. The grounds were once beautiful, but are now showing some neglect.
We did find this momento in the garden. A testament to the founders of the mission. This would really be a great place to serve, however, I explained to Bubby that she wouldn't have much time to enjoy it. Lots of work for missionaries to do.
