After a month without a Branch President, we finally had a new presidency sustained and set apart. On March 25th, we attended the Coromandel Branch where Samuel Napia was sustained as the President with Kohai Renate as first counselor. President Napia actually lives in Thames about an hour away from Coromandel Town and was going to a different branch until our Stake President called him to travel up to our branch for his new calling. He and his wife, Robyn are a wonderful addition to our little congregation. Kohai (on the left) was a first counselor for President Hammon too and he is a great assistant.
Our second counselor to President Napia is Steve Higgins. He attends the Whitianga Group and will also be the new Group Leader. He was sustained the same day but while attending in Whitianga so he is not in the same picture.
It is great to be correctly structured again. Our group in Whitianga will even be returning to the 2 hour block and new callings have been made to have a Primary president and a Sunday School teacher again. And here’s a beautiful picture of the road between the two towns, lined with Gum trees, as we travelled from one to the other.
