This was fun to read. I have an ancestor (Ola Larson) who joined the church in New Zealand. He was an emigrant from Sweden. After joining the church he remained in New Zealand for 7 more years. Although he left in 1885 and would not have met Brother Duncan in New Zealand, I wonder if they knew that same people. The church was not that big in New Zealand.

Because our stake was created in 1901, I was especially interested in comparing the New Zealand Relief Society presidency with the first RS presidency in our stake. They also traveled to all of the wards by horse and buggy on rough, sometime muddy, roads. Some years, and a few presidencies, later, when they had a little money in their “kitty,” they hired a brother with a car to transport them around.
