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!

Mission Report No 74

Us with Elder Bergeson.     Monday 28th August 2023 I did my first live interview today with a person who is a Christian of another faith. I met Sam Korinek while on Instagram, after he had made a comment on someone else's post, and it seemed to me that he could learn a bit more about the Church and our beliefs and make some better comments in the future perhaps. We had a preliminary chat a couple of weeks ago, and we got on very well together, so planned ahead for a live chat., which has now been uploaded to YouTube and Facebook and as a podcast. Here's the YouTube video -  Tuesday 29th August 2023 Rode the bike to the Lagoon Esplanade pool this morning to do some laps.

Monday 4th September 2023 We arrived back in Cairns this morning, from Brisbane, at about 10.00am. Sister Hales and Sister Boonsarn picked us up, which was very nice of them. We drove Elder and Sister King down to the Carr's place at Mt Peter, where their car was parked. We stopped at Earlville Shopping Centre on the way, and somehow lost a set of car keys for the Carr's car, possibly while there.

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.

But before that we dropped in to see our friends the Wetzels, to say goodbye to them. Quite an elderly couple - he is German and she is a PNG native and they met and married many years ago when he was working for the Australia government in PNG. Our last v...
