August 4th - Birthday celebration at Sound of Music Sundance

 

Sundance Outdoor Theater had the Sound of Music this summer - on my birthday!  Polly got tickets and we thought about all going out to dinner - but decided we'd have dinner at Heather's house instead.  She got me this delicious mint chocolate cake!  Worth turning 78 years old for! 


What a beautiful venue for this show!  Polly, Kate, Heather and Lindsey came with all granddaughters who live in Utah but Olivia - she was at a church youth camp.  We all loved everything about this wonderful night.

Beautiful granddaughters - Anna, Millie, Sadie, Briella and Georgia.
Beautiful daughters in a beautiful setting.  We hiked up the hill - some went ahead to claim our spot on the mountain.  There really wasn't a bad seat in the house - on the hill!
"How do you solve a problem like Maria?"


After this picture it got too dark to really take any more - LOVED the show, the setting and most of all the company!!!
Thanks so much Polly, Kate, Heather, Lindsey and granddaughters for a marvelous 78th birthday!!!

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.
