Hello

Dear family,

It is now almost 5:00pm and it has been another busy day. The days start early and really go fast.  We are trying to get ready for all the new missionaries that are coming in in Nov and Dec. there is so much paper work. I am glad I do not work at the main office in SLC. With as many missionaries as there are all over the world,I do not know how everyone is accounted for and taken care of. We can't even keep track of who was what car,or who changed phones with whom and who decided they wanted to change to a different flat. There are some missionaries who just do that. But we love them. 

We had a family home evening last night with some of the Senior missionaries. One couple is going home to Canada. They will be sorely missed. They have been up close to the bush in a small branch. He has been the branch president and has done wonderful things up there. I hope when we leave we will have been able to help the mission. We try. We met at Pres and Sis Maxwell's home and had a great time together. There were around 20 people and we had a great time. We played a game I will teach you when we get home.

The weather has been wonderful this afternoon. It is a typical spring time here in Australia. The other night it was a thunder and lightning storm. It was unbelievable.

It was so good to face time the other night. I am sorry I could not talk to everyone for very long. The costumes were great. Please send pictures. Hope everyone has a great Halloween.

I love you all and miss you
Love ,Mom
