Jordan High School 60th Year Reunion

 September 8 and 9 we attended my 60th year reunion from Jordan High School.  Sure wish Derrell could have been with me.  My friends usually say - Hi Dianne, did Derrell come?!!

Carol Page Marriott, Kathy Birth Damjonovich, me!  We all spoke at our Graduation.  Kathy went on the United Nations trip with me when we were 16 years old!  70+ years ago.  
Dick Payne married a girl from Sue's grade - Gloria Pagett - her older sister was one of my best friends.
Tommy Marriott and I were Students of the Week at Mt. Jordan Junior High School !!
Jean Sailisbury Goff, Susan Greenwood ?  very good friends. Both of their husbands have passed away. Susan wanted to tell me that I should have been Drama Student of the year 1963 - I didn't even know it existed and didn't care if I wasn't chosen - she was!! 

Identical twins, Jeanie and Janie Hall ?  They had younger sisters, also identical twins - Tamela and Pamela, then identical twin boys, but only one survived.

Harold brought a book and read in a corner!  We had a delicious dinner and it was fun to see old, really old friends!!!

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.
