They close up the main street and make a mall out of several blocks. People do stay in motels but a lot just pitch tents.<br /><br />We enjoyed visiting the Doneys in their flat in Tamworth and then we all went over to Nundle which is about an hour from Tamworth and toured the Old Wollen Mill and Mount Misery Gold Mine. Most of the machines in the mill were made in the 1800's. Who says machines aren't made to last.

<br />Beautiful Dinner Served by the Relief Society
<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Here in Australia they enjoy serving more than one kind of meat at a meal. This Christmas dinner had ham, turkey, and beef. It was beautiful and we all enjoyed it. The gold crackers on each table also were fun. We opened them and inside there was a crown hat with a joke to keep us amused.

They came on Tuesday October 14th and left on the 27th of October. They did fly to Cairns for 5 days in the middle so we had them for about 8 days here in the Blue Mountains and Sydney.<br /> <span style="font-style:italic;">Here are some of the pictures from their trip. They are not in order but hope you will get a flavor for some of the things we did together while they were here.</span><br /> <br />We really had a great time. We went to Glenbrook Park where we saw kangaroos in the wild the very first day they were here. On Wednesday we went to the Three Sisters. It was a very foggy day and at first we could only see about 10 feet and couldn't even see the beautiful canyon or the Three Sisters, but the fog lifted and we had a beautiful view. That day we also went down into the rain forest at the bottom of the canyon. <br /> We went into Sydney three times. And while we were there we took a tour of the Opera House; we looked at the city from the top of the Sydney Tower. We also rode the red double decker bus around the city and got a real feel for this beautiful city. The boys especially liked the big clock in the Queen Victoria Building. <br /> Trevor and Ethan really loved going to Featherdale Wildlife Park; petting the koala and seeing a kookaburra up close. We had a wonderful time with our family. Grandma Sandi took care of Kevin in San Diego so that Tiffany and Robert and the big boys could concentrate on sight seeing and enjoying Australia. We thoroughly enjoyed their visit.<br /> Well I am running out of time to post all these pictures. Hope you can see that we truly had a great time. Australia is a wonderful place and we are really enjoying the beautiful scenery and the wonderful people. It is great to be able to share the adventure with your family.Dee & Glennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08170178293969305245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-908399427144217197.post-57259050838652167172008-12-25T12:00:00.000-08:002008-12-25T12:56:20.443-08:00Two Baptisms in the Leura Ward<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqxcpGFmQC88FYwMwXHNGdE17O49l9bxxEwKt3OVzuoUv973QBp9hJvlgEtCtRDMUinhDfcqWj6271pc2Kx-NcdaUFu8NJsn7MMd7KdZkaglUN0zyToxTf1t9ijTB7R64lxqJxKIFBuiTH/s1600-h/_MG_2513.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqxcpGFmQC88FYwMwXHNGdE17O49l9bxxEwKt3OVzuoUv973QBp9hJvlgEtCtRDMUinhDfcqWj6271pc2Kx-NcdaUFu8NJsn7MMd7KdZkaglUN0zyToxTf1t9ijTB7R64lxqJxKIFBuiTH/s400/_MG_2513.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283828879205280450" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCkJHGzmWVOieWhxTFB5_-z330BkNNHmAOd2phi2x0A1QxGTQQQhMCQcn5GrCyoFR5vIWR4na4iiAOUnn2PUl04gMtzfEvJtMnVkgFFWr85sw009hTnRLmZTxO8uvEt0AYBqvYt_CCUxCC/s1600-h/_MG_2156.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCkJHGzmWVOieWhxTFB5_-z330BkNNHmAOd2phi2x0A1QxGTQQQhMCQcn5GrCyoFR5vIWR4na4iiAOUnn2PUl04gMtzfEvJtMnVkgFFWr85sw009hTnRLmZTxO8uvEt0AYBqvYt_CCUxCC/s400/_MG_2156.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283825388881730242" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1lv6xF1e7owfJr1bLpAhYBgQMsyMma3LmVa28avqTaHON7Wnpckj2ISBolcg8ll9a5dq0A3mvSuCAFZgwvnYw86xT1hw6wIJBG06CXTR0KdFbPECQVHFwTJg7KjWC5-alnLXLZRvyBo8F/s1600-h/_MG_2507.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1lv6xF1e7owfJr1bLpAhYBgQMsyMma3LmVa28avqTaHON7Wnpckj2ISBolcg8ll9a5dq0A3mvSuCAFZgwvnYw86xT1hw6wIJBG06CXTR0KdFbPECQVHFwTJg7KjWC5-alnLXLZRvyBo8F/s400/_MG_2507.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283823511612069058" /></a><br />During the months of October and November we were excited to be able to teach two ladies from the Leura area and to witness their baptisms. Janet Franceschine was baptized on Saturday the October 11 by Louis Marschik and then Kathleen Smith was baptized on the 29th of November by George Rose. Both baptisms were wonderful.<br /> Kathleen had worried for a long time about being baptized because she is very afraid of the water. The baptismal service was very good. Sister Sallenbach (Dee) gave a talk about baptism and then the baptism took place. It went very well. As they would say in Australia, “No Worries.” After the baptism Brenda Westbrook gave a talk about receiving the Holy Ghost and then we had the closing hymn, “How Great Thou Art”. At the end of the hymn Kathleen who was sitting right in front of us fainted. Luckily she didn’t hurt herself. She had been so nervous about the baptism that she had not eaten all day. After the services concluded we got her something to eat and she was just fine. It was definitely an exciting day. <br /> We have been teaching both sisters the new member lessons and they are doing very well. Since her baptism Janet has taken a new interest in life and has found a job and received a promotion. We are excited for both of these fine ladies and know they will find much joy as they learn more about our savior Jesus Christ and find ways of serving Him.Dee & Glennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08170178293969305245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-908399427144217197.post-61279671183129893432008-09-18T03:20:00.000-07:002008-09-18T03:48:55.328-07:00Senior Couples and Sister Scrugg's 50th<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnKcBhbpmyE8anZcjx6UFH0xAj_IehzX4vCTwxwuGCxcYn6pdF7QR2-JrBglmEVz0cY6MDV2U_Pk9FbkqLUylTLlPi7sdFteL78dc_Bk5SCo_AQVW4d4XJD9yQw9rZOMwNVf7w-aHTSHqs/s1600-h/_MG_1963.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnKcBhbpmyE8anZcjx6UFH0xAj_IehzX4vCTwxwuGCxcYn6pdF7QR2-JrBglmEVz0cY6MDV2U_Pk9FbkqLUylTLlPi7sdFteL78dc_Bk5SCo_AQVW4d4XJD9yQw9rZOMwNVf7w-aHTSHqs/s400/_MG_1963.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247311121742823762" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG2COoBWzwFEhudMzAKBekSF8w3VDG4nz9aa6AvJY2eZH7L2Tg-fpDQuKe0CQT8EZ7XDfBbxeBHLhkZelNT8WX8A-fo50SYAtEsENuN-m07jHvj_fwBAZ-3XzXpIdQiyNzKzFV9ZW2g9MF/s1600-h/_MG_1995.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG2COoBWzwFEhudMzAKBekSF8w3VDG4nz9aa6AvJY2eZH7L2Tg-fpDQuKe0CQT8EZ7XDfBbxeBHLhkZelNT8WX8A-fo50SYAtEsENuN-m07jHvj_fwBAZ-3XzXpIdQiyNzKzFV9ZW2g9MF/s400/_MG_1995.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247309941940638210" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4rqbF-Chcuq0ZGdoezUES4wFIzcuEpjQ30zKIm5y7j0TNXZBEeavKI2EwLf90eaA2But6Zpbi1ufYZUX_48Fk1G3oGvUYBzNpS_c0ccpJABK5htGPOq6T3xGlmFr5wtRYTVXpzbDfhMoe/s1600-h/_MG_1992.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4rqbF-Chcuq0ZGdoezUES4wFIzcuEpjQ30zKIm5y7j0TNXZBEeavKI2EwLf90eaA2But6Zpbi1ufYZUX_48Fk1G3oGvUYBzNpS_c0ccpJABK5htGPOq6T3xGlmFr5wtRYTVXpzbDfhMoe/s400/_MG_1992.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247308775697148754" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb-FH67XMDjNcLViOxeCoCVqyg2CzOTd8WWNahCN_NNnC8sE18_8YMmr1FaEhXgzQd5M-KSDfGjsmwdsLmBGv4rNf3kKDKQcjQGlOpNiV10YCkGVaGcHqU-hJ12iM_60SO5KKHb7Pt2boB/s1600-h/_MG_1991.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb-FH67XMDjNcLViOxeCoCVqyg2CzOTd8WWNahCN_NNnC8sE18_8YMmr1FaEhXgzQd5M-KSDfGjsmwdsLmBGv4rNf3kKDKQcjQGlOpNiV10YCkGVaGcHqU-hJ12iM_60SO5KKHb7Pt2boB/s400/_MG_1991.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247307342210174018" /></a><br />We have a good time with the Senior Couples in our Mission. Here is a picture of Elder and Sister Marcantelli (Dick and Mary) at Mountain High Pies in Wentworth Falls which is about 25 k’s from here up the mountain. We loved these pies and especially enjoying such a nice time with the Marcantelli’s the last week of their mission. <br /> We also had a nice time with the other senior couples for our last get together at Marcantelli’s. We had pizza and salad and celebrated Sister Scrugg’s Fiftieth Birthday.

We were privileged to have Elder Jay E. Jensen and Elder Tad Callister as speakers and trainers for the mission. We had to leave our flat at about 6:00 am but it was worth it. All the missionaries from the entire mission attended and we took a mission photo. As you can see we also have lots of identical White Camrys to drive and of course the Pizza and Subway Sandwiches were a real hit with the Elders and Sisters. <br /><br />During our Penrith District Meeting with the Elders they had a fun activity where they had to wear protective sunglasses. Don’t they all look cool? <br /><br />We try to take out a companionship to lunch each week. We usually go to Mackers (McDonalds) or Hungry Jacks (Burger King) but this time we took Sister Yang (who is from mainland China) and Sister Harman (from Melbourne) to a nice little Chinese restaurant in St. Mary’s. The Restaurant is the Silver Palace and all of us enjoyed our lunch especially Sister Yang. She is a real darling and has such a strong witness of Jesus Christ.Dee & Glennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08170178293969305245noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-908399427144217197.post-27317577861941996432008-09-05T18:11:00.000-07:002008-09-05T18:32:43.754-07:00Baptisms in May and August<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSYHA_dFMW9OUcLoK5Id52CGzr6LG0zVDzNgsT386avd4nSsx0ysDoO7SfzhlTL5qnYSiIBJZ4_F9ZrUkfkDUazd3P-IYnmeLIgl1zrpHSJ_1AG5a0CScNK7LuBtbbqCMj3CmAbIS5KwRy/s1600-h/_MG_1974.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSYHA_dFMW9OUcLoK5Id52CGzr6LG0zVDzNgsT386avd4nSsx0ysDoO7SfzhlTL5qnYSiIBJZ4_F9ZrUkfkDUazd3P-IYnmeLIgl1zrpHSJ_1AG5a0CScNK7LuBtbbqCMj3CmAbIS5KwRy/s400/_MG_1974.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242714335374576882" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijxcqyYVHfAszAG2uA3WSU8Ijyzx-l_Lq3rUMRELN1e_btSjaZIDFCpuAe2zV8fdoRau3TVgCpJjIlR2FtALrvaxQVlG08w9M7lIjaZXL9QrLIvrjWdmIHqF9d5SQtPX_fUJiGIzfvWG0q/s1600-h/IMG_0252.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijxcqyYVHfAszAG2uA3WSU8Ijyzx-l_Lq3rUMRELN1e_btSjaZIDFCpuAe2zV8fdoRau3TVgCpJjIlR2FtALrvaxQVlG08w9M7lIjaZXL9QrLIvrjWdmIHqF9d5SQtPX_fUJiGIzfvWG0q/s400/IMG_0252.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242710968655572114" /></a><br />Bonnie Alercon was baptized on August 8th. We were able to teach her along with the Elder Thrift and Elder Pope. We enjoyed getting to know Bonnie’s mother Marie and her older sister Sean. The Marcantellis also taught the Alercons when they lived in Hebersham.<br /><br />At the End of May Elder Harris and Elder Garepo from the Penrith Ward taught Seluvais Tuitupou and she was baptized. Seluvaia is a very special person. She was born in Tonga and raised in New Zealand.

Elder Garepo is our shortest elder at 6’. We also have Elder Boardman 6’5” and Elder Collinsworth 6’9”.<br />We really enjoy these Elders and love to go teaching with them. We did have to show them the overlook in Lithgow between appointments.<br /> <br />On June 27th our zone went to a Rugby League game at the Panther Stadium in Penrith. Elder Hall and Elder Butters our Zone leaders organized a barbecue before the game. It was really fun and we had a good feed. All the Elders and Sisters had a great time at the game but our new sister from China, Sister Young, about froze to death. She had a little cotton jacket and thank heavens one of the Elders gave her a warmer jacket but it still was cold.Dee & Glennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08170178293969305245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-908399427144217197.post-83870973761120255582008-06-08T19:16:00.000-07:002008-11-13T21:28:34.632-08:00Hassen's Wall & Lithgow Sites<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0kDmBxet-vheab3gBKozZlrjXq8YT2VPCfRj_4bC1awDiYUCDpjNfToEEn9unCZwTQIESZ8qtKMONaUyCVOskTSB_YzOTbawN6Rc84RwUQZ1UHq258cx8hDljaLb2V3bUbrecDG5UdJro/s1600-h/_MG_1755.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0kDmBxet-vheab3gBKozZlrjXq8YT2VPCfRj_4bC1awDiYUCDpjNfToEEn9unCZwTQIESZ8qtKMONaUyCVOskTSB_YzOTbawN6Rc84RwUQZ1UHq258cx8hDljaLb2V3bUbrecDG5UdJro/s400/_MG_1755.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209710888033705538" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmiUiTRGjuanHSxXtjE8nUP0Un300vB62fkDFLtL86EmmGDT5pXbY9MSYcQyHtxqBc_YDX06DQTDhhYiCTj6AUTeH9s3QLeV2djKLF94W7-XQLqYeo8CjW63F55CNBeubJZtTl9AtRG0h2/s1600-h/_MG_1762.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmiUiTRGjuanHSxXtjE8nUP0Un300vB62fkDFLtL86EmmGDT5pXbY9MSYcQyHtxqBc_YDX06DQTDhhYiCTj6AUTeH9s3QLeV2djKLF94W7-XQLqYeo8CjW63F55CNBeubJZtTl9AtRG0h2/s400/_MG_1762.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209709671689569090" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaV7RT-FIUqjCTOpcMeEHvHsE9kVIIcgAJho_-sftKy0OsZqxDbDxOB2n88jEWQUEAQaDT1XAVjZUlkKPRm7TVCq5E8WDUwIeZqfKkCMd-SgXiIjsXwGipzHMlNv-kYE_D8wKKVe7-QtBl/s1600-h/_MG_1763.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaV7RT-FIUqjCTOpcMeEHvHsE9kVIIcgAJho_-sftKy0OsZqxDbDxOB2n88jEWQUEAQaDT1XAVjZUlkKPRm7TVCq5E8WDUwIeZqfKkCMd-SgXiIjsXwGipzHMlNv-kYE_D8wKKVe7-QtBl/s400/_MG_1763.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209708612099539474" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5jlAlMFAqehyhMBdGS3SKUtbiNkyYnwhUu08XSoHNgXRtCYB7dEOM4maH-ztiSWa-e9uZH5ZVWDS6uLZLjwIgXP14s61jfFuUb0LIeOGRTfvCS3i5dc0kL47VpXYyUOnCcIw9bqZhcIcN/s1600-h/_MG_1764.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5jlAlMFAqehyhMBdGS3SKUtbiNkyYnwhUu08XSoHNgXRtCYB7dEOM4maH-ztiSWa-e9uZH5ZVWDS6uLZLjwIgXP14s61jfFuUb0LIeOGRTfvCS3i5dc0kL47VpXYyUOnCcIw9bqZhcIcN/s400/_MG_1764.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209705520511435234" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0rrZJI4UsuP2t5Fz-tv2wTPyVcOxFWat1KkOrG6h4jzK9ozNkYIf0XX-kf5yBIdtZGzc2BJH5SDLzj9e9PXJXo1tD_bxVWyZZwaqyMzY-GvvmwsPUztWIWFEzxH0sR4Xkry-wiM2niMnY/s1600-h/_MG_1768.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0rrZJI4UsuP2t5Fz-tv2wTPyVcOxFWat1KkOrG6h4jzK9ozNkYIf0XX-kf5yBIdtZGzc2BJH5SDLzj9e9PXJXo1tD_bxVWyZZwaqyMzY-GvvmwsPUztWIWFEzxH0sR4Xkry-wiM2niMnY/s400/_MG_1768.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209703506206065362" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8QmGcodqQLbsaBF4WYrP80IgvRSZaPLRymqmlR2AOs4Yf55VdTTAz_4tmE-FwYxNc615p3jAEKT7AIk5I6rnYIhX5UWLhSWcuIuSR0oS5YXw3uZC1l3JUJV0JQoc0S1woC5T1xvTGqIHk/s1600-h/_MG_1770.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8QmGcodqQLbsaBF4WYrP80IgvRSZaPLRymqmlR2AOs4Yf55VdTTAz_4tmE-FwYxNc615p3jAEKT7AIk5I6rnYIhX5UWLhSWcuIuSR0oS5YXw3uZC1l3JUJV0JQoc0S1woC5T1xvTGqIHk/s400/_MG_1770.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209702214996015282" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-size:130%;" >Every once in a while we go to an overlook and take a few photos.

We really love the Cochrane family. They are our family away from home. Belinda (the mom) has cooked us a lot of meals and we love to be in the company of everyone in the family. <br /><br />Holly is 18 and just finished High School she is very bright and understands the gospel very well. Vanessa is 14 and has just started going to Seminary. She has a nice voice and likes to sing and play the guitar.<br /><br />We were able to participate in most of their lessons with Elder Butters and Elder Hall. The picture with all the elders shows many of the Elders who helped teach the girls. Elder Orton and Elder Glazier taught Bob Cochrane so the girls sat in on those discussions and Elder Thrift was there the night the girls accepted the invitation to be baptized. <br /><br />A mission really doesn’t get any better than this, seeing two lovely sisters baptized and seeing their happiness and joy. It is a great blessing! <br /><br />One photo of our Blue Mountains was added by mistake but I decided to leave it in as we do work in a beautiful area.Dee & Glennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08170178293969305245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-908399427144217197.post-82801898317627134772008-06-08T16:33:00.000-07:002008-11-13T21:28:36.643-08:00May - The Knight Fight;

Neville is a 73 year old convert to the church, and it was a great experience to be with so many of our fellow Leura Ward Members. There were 15 of us in attendance. Here is a photo of Bishop Harrison, Neville, and the two of us. We had a nice picnic after the temple session.<br />At our District Meeting for the Penrith District. We had two teams who used aluminum foil to create their very own knights. Then of course there had to be a knight fight to finish the activity off.<br />As part of our mission we try to help out wherever possible. We were able to schedule the presentation of a set of reference books on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to the Springwood Library. These books will be available to libraries throughout the Blue Mountains.

The Cochrane's have a great family. We have been teaching Belinda Cochrane New Member Lessons the past couple of months and Bob has attended the last three lessons. Elders Wellard, Orton, and Glazier taught Bob the Missionary Lessons. Glenn was honored to confer upon Bob the Aaronic Priesthood on Easter Sunday.<br /><br />On February 15th Susie (Akuel Abdelrahman Myaing Akol) was baptized. Sister Palatua and Sister Scanlan taught Susie. We helped with one of her last lessons before baptism.<br /><br />On February 16th Jason Knight was baptized. Sister Tuttle and Sister Batchimeg taught Jason. We were also present for one of Jason's last lessons. Sister Batchimeg is from Mongolia and is doing a great job learning English.<br /><br />On March 5th our dear friend Anna Lee from the Leura Ward went to the Sydney Temple for the first time. Many of the members of the Leura Ward attended with us. Elder Orton and Elder Brennan who had served in the Leura Ward also attended. We had a great picnic on the Temple lawn after the temple session.Dee & Glennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08170178293969305245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-908399427144217197.post-4506650771731422952008-03-11T19:17:00.000-07:002008-11-13T21:28:43.372-08:00Our Ferry Ride Into Sydney<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3NBJbmAAqjJvELuCm7Dqjn7bqNOc-RB1MQbMgQYiFqEkBVoUcRxaNdDl2STA2NXxGAHQw1reVv3tCzoFyXcsVceQ71_u9QcWNf5CwTW3ZOaLN6hzVOUV_giNmTMcMuIXLppapCIq0R-gm/s1600-h/IMG_0118.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3NBJbmAAqjJvELuCm7Dqjn7bqNOc-RB1MQbMgQYiFqEkBVoUcRxaNdDl2STA2NXxGAHQw1reVv3tCzoFyXcsVceQ71_u9QcWNf5CwTW3ZOaLN6hzVOUV_giNmTMcMuIXLppapCIq0R-gm/s400/IMG_0118.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176681018795102834" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilyXdDkE7xx_0LgGXJve7HEVUib8VceQ5rMUKQRqsvYwkKbc7gJhho_fY-DDq6jvmsKV-YK0Xew-1kHsmKRObaUoPtAKI0zaIkXqoFLxgASGVIRgNKCI0i5q2sa9q_08GPj-IgdcEdd4Rc/s1600-h/IMG_0120.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilyXdDkE7xx_0LgGXJve7HEVUib8VceQ5rMUKQRqsvYwkKbc7gJhho_fY-DDq6jvmsKV-YK0Xew-1kHsmKRObaUoPtAKI0zaIkXqoFLxgASGVIRgNKCI0i5q2sa9q_08GPj-IgdcEdd4Rc/s400/IMG_0120.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176679588570993250" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHRgHHU9RM0he44dykaFy8i3fyq5ZFkJB3LK-1B2B2dHPGYqq18XrnUtQaqLmcD7tnDJfz3MwbT0tNsVCbtxJg7Cy0-2rwqq-WjZ7uGcqxwcROJ0SvYGLuvCh0PUWd-cMDGzfFYl13L3lD/s1600-h/IMG_0125.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHRgHHU9RM0he44dykaFy8i3fyq5ZFkJB3LK-1B2B2dHPGYqq18XrnUtQaqLmcD7tnDJfz3MwbT0tNsVCbtxJg7Cy0-2rwqq-WjZ7uGcqxwcROJ0SvYGLuvCh0PUWd-cMDGzfFYl13L3lD/s400/IMG_0125.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176678751052370514" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjecJz5leDN2K04qTpVy-JwFCZlUUGAHRZg0bn0SMwToD67A-55SiZHvCA4g5_PYkpemdsXhA3MyVetKWHnEACt3YPmMgRuSOA4XQeybkje9RNMdMh8XtgWD3vb7jgDrZ9fVkxw-WLVqFSM/s1600-h/IMG_0126.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjecJz5leDN2K04qTpVy-JwFCZlUUGAHRZg0bn0SMwToD67A-55SiZHvCA4g5_PYkpemdsXhA3MyVetKWHnEACt3YPmMgRuSOA4XQeybkje9RNMdMh8XtgWD3vb7jgDrZ9fVkxw-WLVqFSM/s400/IMG_0126.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176677561346429506" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDVkt-UKjxykIQAD6a3iRMxAHgHJSgDcICy7MuAUFbLENax4u-hlB5NxZZPBaelt8J4XyZtq9LwtLce5lArVulrTWBLIP8guJ1il34qR70ozmp57kJ0TPyiQQKjH76Rme_fOzDNiN4DAxq/s1600-h/IMG_0135.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDVkt-UKjxykIQAD6a3iRMxAHgHJSgDcICy7MuAUFbLENax4u-hlB5NxZZPBaelt8J4XyZtq9LwtLce5lArVulrTWBLIP8guJ1il34qR70ozmp57kJ0TPyiQQKjH76Rme_fOzDNiN4DAxq/s400/IMG_0135.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176677037360419378" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_tnbSCuFRcKjU-jOBaJud1NcIOVhjpCKrMt1RdZ25mlzIxY3MOkxE5f4cYD72k6oXZIrpQEgeki3SUWmYU4LeoTx2gjAad0MuIdAIrkdKU3uasLSQohnrus8hJzXQUFaJav50MA46lnq8/s1600-h/IMG_0151.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_tnbSCuFRcKjU-jOBaJud1NcIOVhjpCKrMt1RdZ25mlzIxY3MOkxE5f4cYD72k6oXZIrpQEgeki3SUWmYU4LeoTx2gjAad0MuIdAIrkdKU3uasLSQohnrus8hJzXQUFaJav50MA46lnq8/s400/IMG_0151.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176675589956440610" border="0" /></a><br />We needed a second post to get all of our photos in.

On Monday March 10th we took the ferry into Sydney and enjoyed the day with three other Senior Couples in our Mission. We had a beautiful day. We left on the ferry for Sydney at about 9:10 am and arrived an hour later. The city was beautiful as we arrived in Circular Quay which they pronounce Key. This is the main train and ferry station. We took another ferry to Manley Island and had a really nice dinner there. Did I say, it was a lovely day? As we went to the train we passed an Aboriginal man playing a didgery-doo. What a great sound that odd instrument makes. Then we went to the Queen Victoria Building. It is like a huge shopping mall but is beautiful inside. As you might imagine we will have to return to see more of this beautiful city. We are still enjoying being on a mission and meeting wonderful people. We have already been away from home for six months.

We had a white elephant exchange of gifts. The food was great and the Elders and Sisters enjoyed themselves.<br /><br />Zone Conference was so much fun. The Elders and Sisters had their gifts from home distributed to them so they could take them home and open them later. I know the Elders did not wait until Christmas morning but our sisters did. We have a new sister in our zone from Mongolia. She is doing very well; she even participated in the talent show.Dee & Glennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08170178293969305245noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-908399427144217197.post-26732676084963984302007-12-31T03:05:00.000-08:002008-11-13T21:28:46.097-08:00The Blue Mountains<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQVtavnDyynSjtLeDjIpqCL4itixC1VCMq8e6bzTXeLyOleBn8BgttRiAhR8tGbR8ENVtXW4QTcnX8WdHZgvQwC3v9iB3n0q0qm85JR67v7dGQFKHzDi23avHBoz9W9vPQmyTbPbUGyJ-l/s1600-h/_MG_1313.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQVtavnDyynSjtLeDjIpqCL4itixC1VCMq8e6bzTXeLyOleBn8BgttRiAhR8tGbR8ENVtXW4QTcnX8WdHZgvQwC3v9iB3n0q0qm85JR67v7dGQFKHzDi23avHBoz9W9vPQmyTbPbUGyJ-l/s400/_MG_1313.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150097374327027522" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwbCbc3Zlu2yCZMqXFgkQJZVC2dK-ZJt_VdTmEBhPpzNV6ZERwj4SvKlm9_6XMAPiKTjuoM11jF6jIoqNP0sz4QUrXKMROYwrS5U5-s_aQ1v409LmqNC-TzAeYx_U2CZu2zEN1ba0FFyHm/s1600-h/_MG_1310.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwbCbc3Zlu2yCZMqXFgkQJZVC2dK-ZJt_VdTmEBhPpzNV6ZERwj4SvKlm9_6XMAPiKTjuoM11jF6jIoqNP0sz4QUrXKMROYwrS5U5-s_aQ1v409LmqNC-TzAeYx_U2CZu2zEN1ba0FFyHm/s400/_MG_1310.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150096266225465138" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9mcP3mqOIgPNVo9jZaYPzVVp2TRNw2Xw3pSKpRmD7goZ1b59xc2WYAfH_iWP24Rk9oR1OJLV4GkQ7FtxpKE-64pyxc5Vndk6QeyNBXiPUFDm_uwwOxZLtMQK2V8z-U2CbV6re6C6R0ZN2/s1600-h/_MG_1299.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9mcP3mqOIgPNVo9jZaYPzVVp2TRNw2Xw3pSKpRmD7goZ1b59xc2WYAfH_iWP24Rk9oR1OJLV4GkQ7FtxpKE-64pyxc5Vndk6QeyNBXiPUFDm_uwwOxZLtMQK2V8z-U2CbV6re6C6R0ZN2/s400/_MG_1299.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150095020684949282" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-KRty3IGZ9iMczRmJG-4fBmPjRrXlw-7nuyzSHMmPm6LL5Y9Q5hTp3Aa7K3cJtbwnSM3BPD_hM0IigFRVZfuxw_jWxhHukEGNFSLFqiVs_RQdPw3gRmltGe3C9rrwsGOUImd7PstVA1wN/s1600-h/_MG_1280.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-KRty3IGZ9iMczRmJG-4fBmPjRrXlw-7nuyzSHMmPm6LL5Y9Q5hTp3Aa7K3cJtbwnSM3BPD_hM0IigFRVZfuxw_jWxhHukEGNFSLFqiVs_RQdPw3gRmltGe3C9rrwsGOUImd7PstVA1wN/s400/_MG_1280.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150093538921232146" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:130%;" >We have a beautiful area to work in.
