Anne and Henry Nom.  We were traveling with them up to Hamilton to go to the Temple.  They live just 5 minutes away from the Temple.  Anne worked in the Temple as a recorder for 15 years.


This and the following are pictures from the park in Rotorura, it was a beautiful day.






Port Waikato





This is Waikato bay or Sunset Beach.  The day we were there a surf competition was just ending.  It is a beautiful beach with dark brown sand.


 

Hamilton Temple

The following are pictures of the land surrounding the Temple.  It was originally a dairy farm.  The family that owned it wasn't going to sell, but after the Church asked a third time if they would sell they said they would, but were not sure why.
