More Around Johannesburg!

President Russel M. Nelson is amazing and his wisdom helps us everyday in our BYUPathway work.
When Lindsey was serving her mission in Chile, she made this awesome book mark for me with Chilean flowers she dried - dated Mother's Day 2004!!


Some of the senior sisters are very crafty and have craft activities for all.  This activity was making bookmarks with a picture of the Johannesburg Temple with Jacaranda trees in bloom.

They had many dried flowers from around our area and it was fun to make - then lamanite.  I sent one to Lindsey!  2004 - 2021!!
This is a picture of our Friday morning Gathering.  Most of the student can't afford as much date to show their picture the whole hour!  We are sure learning a lot and enjoying their progress.
The last two weeks of December we worked very hard to get these 'branded' items ordered and paid for with the 2021 budget!  These masks and the pens came to the office first!  We really like them!
The next day we received the tee shirts, golf shirts, baseball hats, and phone holders.  We have some more pens, notebooks and wooden key chains left to be delivered.  We are not sure how our supervisor wants to distribute them - but we sure are happy they came okay!
Here are the boxes behind our desks! 
This is for Tait Fairbanks - we found and purchased his Potato Chips!!!

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

  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.
