Changes and moves!

Not very happy to see this arrive in our driveway!  Ready to take all of our belongings 

Back to the USA. Why is it always raining on moving day?

Filling these bins with lots of memories!

One last picture of the Tie Board before we dismantle it:(

This is the only furniture we brought with us.  President Parkers favorite chair!

These guys worked hard all day. They  are very thorough! 

Ready to load up the Pod!

We love everything about this Mission Home.  It is so hard to leave.  Adelaide is

Known as the city of roses!  Even on a rainy day, in the middle of winter, we still

Have roses here and there. What a blessing to have had the privilege of calling 

This home for the last 3 years.

Of the Mission Presidents seminars the last 3 years.  Oh how we love each one of you

And cherish our time serving.  God be with you til we meet again. President and Sister 

Hanneman, President and Sister Tsushima, President and Sister Granger, President and

Sister Checkettes, President and Sister Fife, President and Sister Parker.

President and Sister Howes-Auckland New Zealand MTC President and wife. Love 

These two so much.  They arrived home in Adelaide at the same time we did 3

Years ago after presiding over the Sydney North Mission.  They were so helpful to 

Us when we arrived.  Then the Lord called them to serve at the Auckland MTC. We 

Were so happy we would be able to see them at the Mission President Seminars. 

Great servants of the Lord and eternal friends. 

Our dear friends the Hannemans. President over the Samoa Mission.

Such great memories of these incredible Mission Presidents Seminars.  Very sacred 

Times for us as we all come seeking revelation to help hasten the work. What a 

Privilege to have had the opportunity to attend. We love and sustain the Pacific

Area Presidency and their wives are angels.  We love you all eternally. 

Dinner with the Yeow family/Assistants Birthdays

An unforgettable evening spent with the wonderful Yeow family.  What a blessing it was

For the senior couples serving in the Firle area to be blessed once again by this amazing family.

A dinner that was exquisite!  A beautiful spirit filled home!  And the best company ever!

The Yeow family are so generous with all of their many talents, their love and their

Testimonies.  They are right in the middle of missionary work.  Thank you for the many

Hours you have given to feed the missionaries, have so many in your home, and for

The many ways you give to everyone. We love you . 

Love these wonderful sisters!

After many attempts, we finally found an evening to take these 2 great Assistants to

Dinner to celebrate their birthdays and our anniversary, which all are on the same day!

the world is a better place because these 2 great men were born on April 13th!  They

Are incredible leaders in the Australia Adelaide Mission.  So blessed to get to serve

With them. We love you Elder Pickett and Elder Miller!
