This was a wonderful week in the Mission. On Tuesday we hosted five of the missionaries who completed their mission and left that evening at midnight. We enjoyed a lovely dinner with them, and a powerful testimony meeting. President Lindsay, Elder Robertson, and Elder Webley accompanied the group to the airport, and stayed with them until they left. Wednesday, those three and Shari went to the airport to welcome our one incoming missionary - Elder Segi from Samoa. He comes with a great testimony and humility. We had another lovely dinner, and Elder Segi and his new companion, Elder Keers stayed the night in the Mission Home. It is wonderful to have the missionaries here. Robby and I got up (5:30 am) for our second day of Seminary, returned by 7:10 am and had time to have breakfast with everyone. I thought it was another small miracle, and a tender mercy from the Lord. I would never have imagined we could time it that easily. President Lindsay makes great scrambled eggs.

Robby is liking the International School of Western Australia. He has made friends with students who have lived all over the world - Germany, Norway, Rio de Janeiro, Dubai, Jakarta, India, Japan, and Columbia - to name a few countries and cities! Rob says they are all nice to everyone. So far, he likes his teachers and is talking about Chemistry, Physics and Spanish class the most. So I think that means he is liking them the most. He laughs a lot about his art class. He did draw a picture of a saxophone, with fire coming out of it. I have yet to see it. I drive Robby to school every morning, and he rides the city bus home. He picks up the bus down the street from the school, rides to the main station downtown, changes to Platform 9 and 3/4's and gets a bus that brings him very close to our home, arriving just after 5pm. He comes in happy every day, so far! I can't tell you how awesome I think he is.
