Mothers Day and great sister missionaries!

Received the best surprise from our family in the U.S. for Mothers Day!  Thank you for 

The beautiful flowers that brighten my day every time I look at them.  Eternally

Grateful for our family who has supported us every day of this mission.  We love you

So very much.

These three amazing sister missionaries bless us all in so many ways.  They work 

Diligently every day in record preservation hastening the work on the other side of the

Veil. They all bring such joy to all of

Us and we are strengthened by their examples.  We love you. Sister Sennett recently

Completed her service but we are having a hard time letting her go free!

Sister Flanders, Sister Petree and Sister Sennett were invited to Mildura to give a 

Presentation on record preservation to the History Center there.  It was wonderful and

They were invited to come back for more. How can you not love these lovely ladies!

These 2 just light up a room!  We never could have imagined what a blessing they would

Be to this mission and to all of us.  Love you heaps and heaps sisters! Thank you so

Much for answering the call to come and serve . Our lives are all better because we know you.

More senior missionaries coming and going!

Saying goodbye is not my favorite thing!  Giving Elder and Sister Snell all of our love, 

Heaps of gratitude and hugs that will need to last for awhile! Their service is unmatched.

Diligent, consecrated and hearts of gold as they have blessed the lives of so many here

In the Australia Adelaide Mission as well as members all over southern Australia! 

Whether its teaching Self-Reliance classes...

Or using their many talents to assist.....

Baking out of this world desserts........

Starring in Broadway musicals.........

Or preparing missionaries for their education when arriving home......

To working feverishly to organize and plan time effectively to assist wards, stakes

And branches to develop a Self-Reliance plan for their area. 

Loved by all!  It’s always better, when Elder  and Sister Snell are here.

You will be missed so much.  We congratulate you on your incredible good works.

We love you always and forever!
