Other Happenings January 2023

 

Here is handsome Elder Smith standing in front of Duke's Court - our apartment building.  The Killarney Mall is right across the street.  There are two grocery stores in the mall and they let you bring your shopping carts all the way to your apartment - then leave by the elevators and they will come and collect them.  We usually carry our groceries unless they are too heavy then we take advantage of bringing them all the way 'home'.  
Elder and Sister Humbert's daughter was having some problems with her fourth pregnancy and Sister Humbert went to Utah to assist with the other three little ones!  Darling picture of Scotty Kay - one day old!  
Wonderful sisters from Zimbabwe who were staying in Temple Patron housing last week.  It is cool how they use a piece of fabric and tie their baby's on their backs! I'm pretty sure mine would have fallen out!  
Pretty salad that Brian, the chef, made for our dinner at the Walston's.  
The moon when a slice - is on the other side in this southern hemisphere! 
Sister Perkins and her good camera - from her flat balcony! 


Lindsey and Heather joined forces and got this small package to our friend and pathway student Wendy - to bring back from Provo to me.  The Malpage family went to Provo for the holidays, taking a daughter to BYU and enjoying the wedding of a son.

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.
