Christmas Eve Breakfast with Senior Missionaries

 

On Saturday, December 24th, the senior missionaries had a nice brunch. Several couple were out of town but those in town had a delicious breakfast and a wonderful sing a long with Elder Goodson and Elder Fox playing guitars.  
Elder Goodson made up a song - Combies (small buses) will wreck us - and Elder Fox sang another nonsense song - It's Christmas in the Trailer Park Again...we all laughed! 

Nice spread for a senior potluck!  Thanks to Elder and Sister Perkins for organizing and providing plates, glasses, etc. 
Getting food - it was 86 degrees outside and not too humid - not the usual Christmas Eve day weather we are used to! 

This is the back patio of several of the ground floor apartments - the umbrellas come with the units. 
My contribution to the pot luck was this yummy fruit plate - lots of red and green fruit! We all miss our families and so it is good to have events to enjoy each others company and celebrate the Birth of Our Savior.

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.
