November


The Assistants are ready to pick up two, yes TWO, Senior couples at the airpor

I thought they should show off since, they worked hard to clean the old van for all of us to go together!

very tired, very welcome, and lots more luggage than you can see


We take everyone we can to see kangaroos.  I love the joey in this photo.

On arrival, the Elder on the left told me he brought a quilt his mom made for him.  It did not work out during training, for him to show me, so he brought it in the office one day!!!!  Beautiful.  These Elders all love and miss their moms!  When I see them serving so well, I imagine how happy it would make their moms to look through my eyes!  
We began our Senior Conference with a Temple session

Following the Temple session, President Lindsay announced the assignments.  One couple to Geraldton, another to Esperance, and a third to a ward here in Perth.  A week later, Australia has a new counselor in a Bishopric, a new Branch President, and a new counselor in a Branch Presidency.  Fabulous, and much needed member, leader support missionaries!


On Saturday we all went to the Perth Mint, King's Park, and the Aquarium.  Fun and games that night at the mission home, and then on Sunday we attended Sacrament Meeting together, followed by training at the Mission Home, and a wonderful sharing of spiritual experiences from our service. I cannot begin to express my love for these Senior missionaries.  We are so blessed! 
I love the trees in King's Park
