The Lion King - revisited - Elbert CO May 13, 2023

 

 We drove to Elbert to watch the grandchildren in their school play, plus hear Christian give his missionary farewell talk in church.  Joel and Anna went with us.  We stayed in Rawlins, Wyoming overnight on our way there and back!  Harold likes to drive in daylight!  Our motel was a little sketchy but fun! There was a bowling alley next to is - Joel and Anna went over but it was closed!! Here is the cast of the Lion King - front row, Ruby far left, Clark far right - holding the little one.


Clark and Ruby - they did great in their parts! 


Sheffie was awesome!
Sheffie and Ruby - both were very good! All the children knew their lines and spoke them well!

Ruby and Faye - good actresses!

Sheffield and Faye - great job! 


Assistant Director and Actress - amazing young woman!

Clark was the star of the show!  


Ruby Farm Girl was a darling cheetah for the show!

On Sunday, Mother's Day, we attended church with Kurt and Emily's family.  Christian spoke about his mission - he leaves soon for the MTC in Provo.  He will learn Portuguese and will be a great missionary.  There was an open house at their home after church - yummy food, pretty flowers, wonderful people!  We left early afternoon so we could get back to Rawlins in daylight.
Wonderful trip - made even better because Joel and Anna came with us!


Awesome random event - Kurt and Emily brought their oldest at home to the Denver Temple.  Sue brought her two granddaughters, Dana and Francy to the visitors center and they found each other! Christian is preparing to leave on his mission soon. Love all these people!!!

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.

Happenings in South Africa

Image
  There is a big African Trade Market called Irene's about 35 minutes away from Johannesburg.  It is open only twice a month - the first Saturday and last Saturday of each month.  Saturday, July 30, we invited the Candlands to go with us.  We found the Perkins and Watsons there and we all had a great time.  Here is Sister Watson and Elder Perkins enjoying lunch - see that big platter in front?   Elder Smith bought me an African Apron like these - this is the lady who makes them - they are reversible and I like the bright colors!   On our walks in the mornings we have noticed this plant budding and getter ready to bloom - this morning it was blooming!  The picture doesn't do it justice - it is bright orange!   This big Bird of Paradise plant is on the grounds of the first chapel built in Johannesburg.  The flowers are so pretty, and it's fun for us to know Heidi and Stefan have them in Hawaii!  I've sent postcards with...
