Mission Report No 49

Early last week we had 5" of rain in a 24 hour period. 
It caused a minor landslide on the other side of our creek, 
where we keep our bins.



This is Sister Kimi'ia with the brekky
 she made for us

 Once again, I have tried doing a video summary of the week that was. Much less time involved that's for sure!

Sunday 17th September 2023 As per usual, we attended both the Cairns branches, and as it was our last Sunday in Cairns we were invited to speak briefly at the beginning of the meeting. Sunday evening we had a very nice dinner with some of the other Cairns District senior missionaries, plus the Pattons and the Greenhalghs who were up from Cairns. After dinner at the Carrs.

 Monday 11th September 2023 District P-day today with all the young missionaries in our District, as well as the Carrs. We all went up to Hartley's Crocodile Farm. This was my fourth visit and Margot's third visit there. Certain things about it were better this time, certain things not so good, but it was very good to all be there together. Lots of pictures Sisters Boosarn and Hales The Carrs, Jaussi, Lyons, Vest, Dunyon, Rydalch, Nuttall, Long, Barry, Dollery, Hales, Boonsarn and me in front. Tuesday 12th September 2023 We had our last District Council meeting with our amazing Cairns District Eders and Sisters this morning. Elder Dunyon requested that Elder Lyons ask my wife and I to close the meeting with our testimonies.

Can't remember much about today, but we did go to an Ethiopian New Years Eve par...

Mission Report No 78 - Back to Victoria

 Monday 25th September 2023 This morning we drove from Brisbane down to Toowoomba to visit Margot's cousin Glen and his wife Joan. Glen is one of Margot's Aunty Doris's son. Last time we saw them was when they visited us in Lara over 10 years ago.  In the afternoon Glen took us for a drive around Toowoomba to visit a couple of places. The timing of our visit was good as it was the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers. I'm not much of a gardener, except if it involves something I can eat, but I must admit this was pretty spectacular. Margot with cousin Glen Margot and I at the Flower Show One of the flower beds- there were heaps of others, I just like these colors. We also stopped by the Toowoomba Ward meetinghouse, which was where Margot was baptised as an eight year old, having flown up there from King Island.   Tuesday 26th September 2023 Glen Mohr with his wife Joan and Margot and me. We left Glen and Joans early today so we could drop in a see my old mate Greg Cowan, who m...
