With MP Martin Gallagher at Church College of NZ

We are pictured here with Honorable Martin Gallagher who is a Member of Parliament representing the Hamilton area. Elder Hans Sorensen is next to MelRae. We have met MP Gallagher twice and we are hopeful that he will represent the Church's interest in the Birth, Death, and Marriage (BDM) legislation. This meeting was at the Church College of New Zealand in Hamilton. We were invited to give a Kirtland Fireside at the school's devotional the following morning for about 600 students. We have also been asked to give this fireside in Tonga whenever we have a free Sunday evening and they have even scheduled a Tuesday evening fireside for us in Vava'u, a smaller island about 300 km from Nuku'alofa. There have been from 300 to 800 attend each of these firesides.
