August Events

 



My cousin Stanley Poole, singing with grandchildren at the funeral of his son Ben.  Ben died of drugs and lived in AK , owned a fishing boat.  Becky and Sue and I made his family one of the Northern Lights quilts that we did for Derrell and LaNore - they loved it!  



The Springville Art Museum had this exhibit of Fairbanks art! 

Jennie sent these beautiful flowers for my birthday - love her and them!!  

Cute sign Lindsey and grandchildren made for me!  Love them and the balloons!! 

Elder and Sister Walston - come home from South Africa - they served as Humanitarian couple and we enjoyed taking them to Zulu Grill! 
We visited with Joel at Payson Lakes.  He was working with a Hyrum neighbor to dredge the lake - good money but isolated  socially!

Pretty scenery - He even gets to fish in the lake!! 

Erica Pack Whitmore was one of Jennie's college roommates and good friend.  This is at her daughter's wedding reception up Provo Canyon - Aug. 17th.  Erica was so pleased that we could come!  


We invited some ward members over to dinner.  Terry and Sherry Bailey and Leslie Jorgensen...we knew that Sister Bailey was a relative - her grandfather Joseph Cotton Wood, was my grandma Poole's brother!  She remember Aunt Nina - said that she would hug you so hard and long that you knew you were loved by her!  Leslie is also a distant relative of Grandma Poole's - so fun!

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.
