Duke's Court - new apartment

 

This is the front door of our new apartment - Number 213, Duke's Court - you need a key to open the bars door, than another key to open the front door.
Elder and Sister Swift live next door to us in 214.  See our plants from our balcony - so far they are doing okay.
This is the view down our hallway - Elder Smith says it reminds him of a mental hospital!
See the shopping cart?  We can bring them across the street with our groceries and the store people come over and collect them.  It is convenient to have Killarney Mall across the street.
Part of the new kitchen - there more storage space and cupboards here.
Other side of the kitchen - we will miss not having a window over the sink - the washer and dryer are better than our other ones.
Our bulletin board with our families pictures!
Our living room, just inside the front door.  Picture of the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa.
The living room - off to the left at the back is the office.  
Living room seen from the back of it - this apartment is much larger and feels more like a house than our other one did. 
The small office - Elder Smith working!

The office is behind the curtains on the back wall of the bedroom!  I like how my quilt matches the picture on the wall!

I love the bright colors!

Storage area between the bedroom and bathroom.


Front of Duke's Court - it was built in the 1030's - has been remodeled several times, and has had senior missionaries and temple missionaries for 30 years! 
Packed boxes at our old apartment - amazing to move in ten boxes!  Notice the quilt frames, I wondered what the moving crew would think of them - they made the move safely!

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.
