What do you do on Leap Day? We did something memorable!! We spent a few hours in the afternoon with Sister Gaebler and Sister Lotoa. Sister Gaebler only had a "wee bit" of her mission remaining..... then it would be home to Germany. We wanted her to take another special memory of New Zealand with her.
