An additional 100 “Love Packs,” as participants called them, were delivered to the Latter-day Saints’ New Zealand Missionary Training Centre (MTC) on Redoubt Road, Manukau. These packs will be given to missionaries arriving at the MTC who may not have all the items with them.
According to Alexander Gasu, a spokesperson for the Church in Otara, “It was a wonderful service project. The unity and love felt was amazing.”
