Dear Family,
Most of our time the
past week has been preparing for transfers this week. This Wednesday some of
our favorite missionaries will be going home. It will be an emotional day for
us at the airport.
We were able to visit
Rosemary and John Body. We took some flowers to her (remember she is our
friend who is dying of cancer). It is always a happy time with them. They
are such good people. Rosemary is prepared because she has a great
love for her Savior and understands the plan of happiness.
All the senior couples
got together Friday night for a pot luck dinner and to watch the movie Meet the
Mormons. We held our party at the mission home. There are 18
couples which includes Adrienne and me. We were celebrating
Adrienne's birthday, the arrival of a new couple and the departure of a
couple. We always have a wonderful time when we are together.
Saturday we went
exploring again. We found a wonderful little village in Hawthorn. The old
old buildings have been turned into boutiques. We walked into most of the
stores and managed to buy a couple of bracelets. It was a beautiful semi
sunny Saturday. We enjoy just strolling through the little towns and just
seeing the people. Most of the people are very pleasant but some refuse
to smile or say hello to us. We always say hello as we are walking.
The area Public
Relations for the church asked us to make a report for them. They wanted
to know how many countries and cultures are represented in the Australia
Melbourne Mission. We have 25 different countries represented by the
missionaries; American Samoa, Australia, Canada, China, Fiji, France, French
Polynesia, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Micronesia, Moldova,
Myanmar, New Zealand,
Philippines, Qatar,
Samoa, South Korea, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan, United Kingdom, Wales, United
States and Vanuatu. You should look these up on a map for the kids to
see. EVERYONE OF THESE MISSIONARIES ARE VERY DEAR TO US.
This is a short letter
this week but should be much better next week.
Our scripture for the
week;.
"Whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world. Yea, even
a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh
of
FAITH, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and
steadfast, always abounding in good works, being
led to
GLORIFY GOD."
Ether 12:4
We love all of you and
pray for you morning and night.
