Alice Springs Boot Camp 4-Give me More!!

Its always a wonderful day to spend with the Alice Springs Zone. These missionaries

Work so hard and are united in purpose, inviting all to come Unto Christ. Several of 

Them are new to Alice  Springs and we are so proud of them for their diligence and 

Hard work here in this part of the Lords vineyard.  Love each one so much. 

Elder Taunima, Elder Hayes, Elder Tauti, Elder Mattie, Sister Lotulelei, Sister Marshall,

Sister Anderson, Elder Anderson, Elder Ostraff, Elder Hunter, Elder Duckworth and

Elder Maiava.

During this Zone conference both Elder Pickett and Elder Miller celebrated their

Birthdays!  Sister Anderson was so kind to make them a cake to celebrate!  

Happy happy Birthday to two obedient, consecrated and diligent missionaries who

Lead this mission as the Savior would have them.  Oh how we love you.

Enjoying a wonderful lunch provided by Elder and Sister Anderson. 

Elder Miller found his lunch:)

Also while in Alice Springs, President and Sister Parker celebrated their 40th wedding

Anniversary. We were told that is the year of the ruby. 

I love this man standing by my side. So grateful for 40 years together. April 13, 1978

We were married and sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple . The best decision I have ever made. 


Later that day on the plane our anniversary dinner consisted of this.  OK for a plane

Snack but we will do better another day:)

Always an adventure in Alice Springs.  

I just love this picture.  Elder and Sister Anderson serve so valiantly here. They  never

Complain. They watch over everything with great love and concern. And they love

Having visitors to show around Alice Springs.  Elder and Sister Rohlfing spent a 

Couple of days with them and had a great time.  We love you.

So excited for this great sister in the Alice Springs Branch-Krydence Schwalger who

Received her mission call to the  Auckland, New Zealand Mission!  Congratulations!

Lucky mission to get this great sister! One of the best blessings of this calling is for

President PArker to have the privilege of interviewing and meeting with great members

In Darwin and Alice Springs Branches. We love you all so much.

Followed by Zone Leaders, Elder Dickson and Elder Fiu training on “Powerful

Invitations!” 

One of Darwins greatest treasures-Elder and Sister Lea.  They work tirelessly day in

And day out serving everyone they meet.  Talented and consecrated a great combination!

More goodbyes

Smiling on the outside but crying on the inside as we say goodbye to Elder and

Sister Rohlfing. Loved by all and such a blessing to this mission. 

If you look up consecrated in the dictionary you would see the words “Elder and

Sister Rohlfing!”  Never complaining, just going and doing whatever they are asked

To do.  Forever in our hearts-eternal friends. 

Heading to the airport in the white van. One last goodbye!

We love you!

Elder and Sister Rohlfing have a very special Uncle !  No wonder they are filled

With so many Christlike attributes. 

Just one of the many duties Elder Rohlfing covered-bikes for the 70-80 missionaries 

In the Adelaide area. Many late nights we would find him here tirelessly fixing bikes

For the missionaries. 

Elder and Sister Rohlfing are loved by these missionaries most of all.  They have

Served them with all of their heart, might, mind and strength. They have fed them,

Taught them, taught with them, shared their talents with them, laughed with them and

Shed a few tears with them.  Most of all, they have served every day to help invite

All to come Unto Christ. We love you so much. Your influence and love will live on. 

Missionaries completing their missions.

Blessed by Elder  and Sister Snell again! these wonderful missionaries are learning self 

Reliance from the master teachers!  Elder Arnaud and Elder Cho are completing their

Missions and ready to return to their families.  They are much more prepared after time

Spent with Elder and Sister Snell.

What  a blessing to spend time in the Temple with these 2 consecrated and diligent missionaries.

These 2 missionaries are sooooo easy to love.  Just ask the senior couples-starting with

Elder and Sister Withington. 

Another mission son returning home.  Elder Arnaud we will miss you so much

General Conference cont.

So fun to see Elder Hanley and meet his Bishop and their family as well. These incredible

Missionaries have changed our lives and we will love them forever.  We are in awe of them.

It was so awesome to see Elder  Revillo and his friend.  We got jipped as he ended up

Completing his mission in the Philippines!  So good to see you Elder  Revillo!

Its such a privilege to meet family and friends of the AAM missionaries. This is the

Young lady who was a missionary and taught Mick Hanley about the Church of

Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!  

Such a blessing to meet the family of the legendary Elder Bennion!

Perfect timing as the Ruppe family was in Salt Lake City for Conference!  We had

The privilege of meeting Jordan, the new bride of Elder Ruppe!  Awesome!

It was no coincidence that as I was walking back to the hotel, I ran into Elder Ruppe’s

Mother and wife Jordan!  So grateful to finally meet some of these wonderful families

Of missionaries we love so very much. 



We were SO HAPPY when Elder  Flinders  who served as one of our assistants, came

To the hotel to see us.  We love you so much Elder Flinders!

What a privilege to meet Spring, the wife of another one of our assistants, Elder

McMurray who came by the hotel. It was so great to catch up and see their smiles!

And the cherry on top was getting to see some family!  

Thank you for coming to see us.  Its been almost 3 years and those hugs felt pretty 

Good!  Families are forever ! A few of the best days of our lives!
