We needed to have our tyres (how it is spelled here) looked at, I noticed these hubs - aptly named!

The October Liahona here has a South African special report - you can get it online but it doesn't show the pictures!  
The Twitchell's are our Area Communications missionaries, and Sister Irving is a Church History Missionary - along with their husbands, of course!  It was fun to read articles they had written!  

These three are members of a Branch just outside of Johannesburg - he is a missionary now!  
They had Spar Stores in Russia!  We went to it but it wasn't as large or nice as the one in Irkutsk!  Fun to see them advertise that they are around the world!
We found this poster on the door of a Dance Studio - Russian School of Ballet - presents the Nutcracker!  Pretty sure we will not go - but it was fun to see!


                                                   
These three wonderful young missionaries are from Uganda - they came to the temple and I met them in the Distribution Center.  Our Office wing is near the Center and it is always delightful to meet young elders and sisters from all over the area!

Senior Couples Give Thanks!

Image
On Saturday, November 27th, all the senior couples got together for a wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner.  So much delicious food and great company!  We made stuffing, deviled eggs and pumpkin cheesecake for our contributions.  Room full of such great senior missionaries!!   Darling Lilly, sleeping on Thanksgiving Day - Sam wanted us to see her cute dress!!   The Mission sewing machine - passed around from senior sister to senior sister - I used it for a week and then it wouldn't work!  We are taking it to a shop for repairs and Elder Smith bought me a new one - Singer basic - Merry Christmas to me! Fun African fabric I found at a local shop - will make great bowl cozies!  We found these cows on the side of the road near our Chapel in Kwa Thema!!  There were these pretty yellow Lily's also on our drive to church.

Area Office

Image
  Sunday October 31, Elder and Sister Elggren drove us to our assigned ward - the Kwa Thelma 2nd ward.  It was Stake Conference and both wards met together - great talks!  Wonderful to meet the people we will be serving on Sundays.  It is about a 40 minute drive from the city - delightful children. The Temple is right next to the Area Offices - all are in a park like setting - an old estate that the Church purchased. View from behind the temple. Little lizard on the post of the steps into the office!   Part of the Office buildings - underground parking door in the middle of the picture. The door to our department. Desk in front is Elder Smith's - mine just behind it.  Further on is the Humanitarian couple's office. Interesting poster in another hallway.

Our Self Reliance Office

  Brother Philip showing Elder Smith some of the places we have Pathway students.  He has traveled extensively all over the world. He is really a wonderful manager - his office is right next to ours.  This is a poster we have been working on - the senior couples will take it to their individual chapels this weekend and ask the Bishop/Branch President if they can post it on the bulletin board...hopefully! Elder Smith hard at work! Copy machine in the background - Display behind it...for projects. Sister Smith hardly working!!   Both of our desks - it is nice to be working on this mission together.
