Briella's Primary Program and Elder and Sister Candland leaving for home.

 

Elder Stuart and Sister Evelyn Candland - Church History specialists - leaving for their home in Northern California, on September 21, 2022. They also served in Spain and Argentina - they speak excellent Spanish!  He turned 80 years old just 6 days before Elder Smith!  
Some of the senior elders helping to load the van for the trip to the airport.  The flight went to London for a seven hour layover!  The a non stop flight to San Francisco. 
Love the willingness of the seniors to help each other!  
Love the sisters wanting to chat just a few more minutes!!
Wonderful senior missionaries,  Elder and Sister Candland in front, from left - the Smiths, the Goodsons, the Humberts, the Watsons, the Walters and Elder Richman.
Heather gave us the link to the Edgemont Fourth Ward Sacrament meeting.  It was their annual Primary Program and we wanted to watch Briella do her part.  She got a cute new short hair cut - but we recognized her.
She did a great job - and was the last of all the primary children to speak!!  Emilee's program did not have a link - Lindsey's does and it will be in a couple of weeks - We hope to watch it also.

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.
