More random happenings

 

We had 28 missionaries from the Madagascar Mission this week in the Temple Patron Housing.  Here they are in the Family History Center - such wonderful young people! April 28, 2022
The Swifts and Goodsons came to help the Cleverlys - this young man wanted a picture with me - said I could be his Grandmother!  Each of them were able to find a family name to take to the temple.
Our wonderful Family History Center - two of the young people needed hours of help to straighten out their accounts - and our senior couple did that!  
In the lunchroom - we always enjoy having the young missionaries eat lunch with us...well - in the same room! Our lunch lady makes good meals, and the seniors can order them also!
Sister Candland and her order at our Sister's Monthly Birthday luncheon - fantastic food.  Monday, April 25th - four sisters have birthdays in April/May.  We always have a good time, eating, and talking!
My salmon salad - very creative!  Olives and Plates is an extension of the Witts University culinary arts department - a place for students to practice their 'art'.  The sisters like to go there.
Tom and Jean and all six of their children - so much fun!  When everyone grows up and moves away it is hard to get the whole family together.  This was the wedding of Brandon, their youngest son. Nikki, Tom, Tommy, Jean, Brandon, Shannie, Aspen and Dan.

Senior Couples Give Thanks!

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.
