Trip to Feilding

This weekend we were scheduled to speak at a Ward in Feilding (yes, spelled correctly), about 2 hours north. So we spent part of the day preparing. In the afternoon, we cruised around a few of our local towns, Porirua, Titahi Bay, Plimmerston.  We managed to find the sea, the Tasman Sea.

Here are a couple of the trip up there. In addition to the sheep, we did find some cattle, but they were on the other side of the car, so didn't get some of them. The valley we drove up was so beautiful, with the sea to the west and mountains to the east.


Feilding building. Most of the LDS buildings here look the same to us.  The interesting thing is that they don't heat much of the building, so people wear their coats during the meetings, except the Islanders, like the Samoans. Several of the men would wear their lava lava's (traditional skirt) and sandals . Sorry no photos of that yet.

Just a short one this time, to get caught up.

  1. These look like the 1970's, maybe early 80's model buildings.

    1. Most were built in the 1960's. It is interesting how many only house 1 ward or branch.
