<br />
This is the last week of the blog. Thank you for following our wonderful trip to Australia and serving a mission for the Saviour, Jesus Christ. It has been a good mission and we recommend serving a mission to everyone.<br />
<br />
Mon, 27 Aug - Mainly stayed at Rhonda's house. Margaret went into Parramatta to meet Helen Tang & Trang. Mike went into meet Cristina de Godos one more time (we were given some Spanish food items - hurrah). Mike tried to find Jamie Costello, but he was not in the office today. Back at Rhonda's and doing some unwinding before we start packing. We have confirmed that Dennis Phillips will be taking us to the airport - all 6 suitcases, plus carry on.<br />
<br />
Tue, 28 Aug - A blur in my memory, since I am making this comment on 24 Sep. My calendar does not show much. We did have to finally pack our bags and weigh them carefully. We ended up with 6 (count 'em, SIX suitcases) suitcases stuffed full and each weighing between 60 and 69 lbs. United allows us to have 6 suitcases and the weight has to be less than 70 lbs. 😂😁😱 We made it or so we hope.<br />
<br />
Wed, 29 Aug - Finished the final squeezing of things into suitcases and distributing the load. Spent time with Rhonda. We were picked up by Katie Phillips in the evening and stayed with her & family that night.<br />
<br />
Thu, 30 Aug - I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I will be back again - Peter, Paul & Mary. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢<br />
Dennis Phillips picked us up about 5 am and took us to the airport. Interesting to note that Dennis took us to the airport 24 years ago when we left Australia after our first time living there. Dennis and Paulette are super sweet people - the salt of the earth. We spent 14 hours flying to LA and arrived in LA 3 hours before we left Sydney. Brea was there to pick us up and take us to her place.<br />
<br />
Fri, 31 Aug - We spent the day with Brea, Don & ISAAC. Worked on getting over our jet lag.<br />
<br />
Sat, 1 Sep - With Brea in the morning and then drove out to Newbury Park to spend the evening and stay with the Ross family. Oh yes, we bought a new car so we could get around to visit all our family and friends.<br />
<br />
Sun, 2 Sep - We reported to the Newbury Park Stake High Council and Stake Presidency. Our mission is now officially past history.<br />
<br />
THE END<br />
<br />
WELL, NOT quite the end. We will be visiting family, friends and a short vacation over the next 11 months. We will try posting a few things on this blog as a post-mission journey, but it will not be a consistent as the prior 2 years. <br />
<br />
Thanks for following us on our mission and letting us share the joy and things that we experienced. It was a great experience and we both did grow in spirit and closeness to our Heavenly Father and Saviour, Jesus Christ.<br />

<br />
Mon, 20 Aug - We took the ferry to Manly in the morning with Rhonda. Our last ferry boat ride for this trip to OZ. Our New Zealand ice cream place was under renovation, so we had to settle for Swiss ice cream 😀 In the afternoon we met with Avril Shen and met her boy friend, Wes. We hope to meet up with Avril Shen one more time next week.<br />
<br />
Tue, 21 Aug - We went to Costco with Rhonda to see if we could get a replacement for the Phillips hand blender that broke on us just before we left Grafton. Costco did not have any in stock, so they refunded our purchase price. We took the bus and train to Artarmon where we met Sam & Serena Sun for dinner. We met their daughter Hedy. Hedy is in year 3 and has an Aussie accent & pronunciation which she is using to teach her mum & dad better English.<br />
<br />
Wed, 22 Aug - We went to the Sydney temple again with Rhonda and did some more temple work for Kerry Arthur and Sally Crosbie. It is good to be able to help others. We had dinner at Rhonda's home today along with Justin & Hayley Crosbie & kids, plus Demi (a niece of Rhonda).<br />
<br />
Thu, 23 Aug - Mike stayed home and did some handyman things for Rhonda, plus worked on the blog. Margaret went out to lunch with Rhonda, Virginia Anderson, Paulette Phillips & Anita Thompson. They went to Flower Power restaurant. Dinner was with the Phillips clan at a Thai restaurant - Dennis, Paulette, Katie, Brent, Thomas & Charlotte Jeffree, and Luke Phillips. A good time was had by all.<br />
<br />
Fri, 24 Aug - We took a bus into the city and had lunch with Cristina de Godos. We also stopped by Commonwealth Bank and Telstra to find out how we shut down our accounts. Then off by bus to Maroubra for dinner with Ka Yi, Emma & Hannah. We had hot pot and LOTS of talking and fun.<br />
<br />
Sat, 25 Aug - today is Rhonda's birthday. Margaret is spending the day with her. Mike is working on the blog and trying to get caught up. Margaret and Rhonda will go to the movies this afternoon and then we will meet up at the Thai restaurant for dinner. Margaret baked a blueberry pie for Rhonda's birthday.<br />
<br />
Sun, 26 Aug - We attended sacrament meeting at Kellyville ward. The YSA ward has stake conference this weekend, so we are not going in as originally planned. We will attend a Stake Primary choir practice tonight. The Primary choir is pretty good. Loved the songs they will sing next week.<br />

<br />
Mon, 13 Aug - It is time to leave Grafton and head for Sydney. Our mission is coming to an end. On the way out of town, we stopped at Hanks Kitchen to pick up our last provision of Hanks. We stopped to see Barry Ward and the dogs one more time. Mike was able to administer the sacrament to Barry - a pleasure and great way to leave Grafton. Today was Barry's birthday as well. The drive to Sydney was uneventful and we arrived at Rhonda Crosbie's home safely. Rhonda's will be our headquarters until we leave Sydney on 30 August.<br />
<br />
Tue, 14 Aug - We were released by President Paul Jordan via Skype this morning. We had a lovely chat and debrief with President & Sister Jordan. It was good closure for Mike and made him ready for the next adventure in the Church. We then took the car into Carlingford and turned it back to the Mission home along with our phone. We had lunch with the Ellisons and Grants, and the Botts stopped by unexpectedly.<br />
<br />
Wed, 15 Aug - We went to the Sydney temple this morning and did some temple work for Kerry Arthur's (Grafton) family members. The rest of the day is foggy in Mike's brain.<br />
<br />
Thu, 16 Aug - We took the train up to Leura, in the Blue Mountains. We are spending the next few days with Anita & Keith Thompson. Just getting some down time and a nice quiet visit with some of our long time friends. We did some walking along the edge of the Blue Mountains and visited with the Three Sisters for the last time this trip.<br />
<br />
Fri, 17 Aug - more Blue Mountains and we got a hat stretcher for Keith, which he gave to me to take back to the USA. I will use it with my Akubra so it will continue to fit on my head. Again today was just a nice relaxing day doing some window shopping and walking.<br />
<br />
Sat, 18 Aug - Relaxed in the morning with the Thompsons. They drove us back to Rhonda Crosbie's in the afternoon.<br />
<br />
Sun, 19 Aug - We took the train into Hyde Park so that we could attend the YSA ward and see as many of the YSA kids as possible. We walked over to Hyde Park to visit with Deshao & Shawn for a few minutes. They gave us some photos of when they came up to Grafton to visit. We really love all the Chinese YSA kids - they are great people. We then had Paella with Cristina de Godos and Jose. It was a good time. Cristina is doing well and now has her Permanent Residence visa for Australia. She is a lovely young lady.<br />

Mon, 6 Aug - Elder Haley taught the seminary lesson this morning. Kerry Arthur is doing better but not fully recovered from the dental surgery - it was a bit rough on her. Elder Haley had to call the US and order a new temple recommend booklet for President Norman. We called Carlingford to verify when young missionaries would be coming back to Grafton. Stopped by Shellie Long to get her address and deliver a card from Relief Society. Then out to get with Joyce Wallbank and go looking for platypus one more time. We were able to see one swimming in the Nymboida river, but it was raining and not as comfy as 2 weeks before. But we still had a great time with Joyce. We are going to miss her.<br />
<br />
Tue, 7 Aug - Sister Haley taught seminary this morning, so Elder Haley had a day off. After that we got home and then picked up Patricia Stiller and drove out to Yamba (1 hour) to visit with Fraser & Lydia Mathieson. We had lunch with them and were able to get Patricia introduced and develop a bit of a relationship with Lydia. Then home to deliver Patricia back to her shop for a 2 pm appointment. We started baking choc chip cookies before going to Mandi & Kevin Lynch's for dinner. After dinner we had musical pieces played for us by Joseph and Declan. When we got home, we finished the choc chip cookies and also Sards the collars of Elder Haley's white shirts so the sweat stains were removed.<br />
<br />
Wed, 8 Aug - out final early morning seminary class 😪😫😭 with Arielle. We did deliver the Hanks, both during and after class 😀 Then a call to Elder Haley's mum via Skype. We made a mad dash back to Maclean to see Lavina (the Price's daughter) and be with Joan Hibberd one more time. She is a lovely lady and mentally sharp, despite having Parkinsons. We swung by the Price's to get a signature on a paper for Church. Then pulled into Church just in time for Primary activity (and choc chip cookies). Elder Haley met with Levera Cave and went over Primary and RS things with her. A quick bite at home and then back for FHC and YW. Leah (from primary activity) is now attending YW and that is great since she is of another faith - she is a lovely girl and enjoys our activities.<br />

Thu, 9 Aug - Tom Jones stopped by around 0930 to pick up a dresser. He placed it on his Ute and I offered to help him unload it when we came out for dinner later tonight. We went over to FHC (10am - 12pm) and helped organise a new bookcase. Got lost doing something in the afernoon and then headed out to the Jones' for dinner at 6pm. Amanda & Arielle came out for dinner as well. We were given some nice Aussie gifts to remember them & OZ by. Elaine Jones fixed a superb dinner - like she always does.<br />
<br />
Fri, 10 Aug - Did chores and errands in the morning. We picked up Shane and took him to his appointment at Headspace in the afternoon. While he was there we popped into the South Grafton nursing home and visited with his gran, Dorothy Ledwidge. It was a good thing we did because she was sure we had forgotten her and she was about to disinherit us 😊 We picked up Shane and took him home and rushed back home to fix dinner for our last dinner with Scott.<br />
<br />
Sat, 11 Aug - Mike met President Norman at 0800 to bring beds & chairs from his shed for the young elders. We took our queen bed, dining table & chairs to the Leachs. They were very happy to receive them. President Norman headed home and Mike stayed at the Leachs to fix a few things and wait for Margaret to pick him up. Then we drove up to Lawrence to meet with Lorraine & Darrell Binskin (and Alpacas) for an hour or so, and to say "see you later". Then home and fix dinner to take over to the Normans (Dave, Beth Spencer & Emma). Then we tried to finish packing - what a joke, but thank goodness we have the car to stuff things into - now we will have to really pack in Sydney.<br />
<br />
Sun, 12 Aug - Branch Presidency meeting at 0730. Branch Council at 0830. Normal Sunday meetings from 10am to 1pm. We helped with other things after Church and left around 4pm. We are staying the night with Kerry Arthur. She had Avocado boats (avocado filled with a salsa) ready for us for dinner. We visited until about 9pm and then we all headed for bed. Kerry is to teach seminary tomorrow morning and we have to pack the car and drive to Sydney. Kerry is sensitive to electromagnet fields and lights, so we ate by candle light and had minimal lighting. NO cell phones. It was different but it was wonderful to be able to share.<br />

<br />
Mon, 30 Jul - Yesterday we received word that one of our friends, Paula, in Indiana died - one of the difficult situations being on a mission. We would like to be there, but that is not possible. We were able to talk with Butch on the phone and express our condolences. We are thankful for others who are there and can be a proxy for us at the funeral. Sister Haley taught early morning seminary today. Then home for a quick brekky before the last declutter day. Elder Haley helped dig up a small tree and Sister Haley helped Amber replant it. Home for lunch and then off to play taxi driver and compassionate companion for Kerry who had some dental surgery today. Then a visit with Vicki Carter for a bit. Then home for dinner and preparing for early morning Seminary tomorrow. Just got a txt saying the student is crook and will not be able to make it in the morning. So time to work on the blog.<br />
We have just 2 weeks left. It will be nice to be home, but we are in NO HURRY. We love our mission and the people we have been called to serve - both in Grafton and Hyde Park. We have been blessed by both groups and are thankful for all the friends we have made. Elder Haley is getting a sore throat, so probably good that he can sleep in tomorrow morning. He probably needs some TLC to help him recover 😉😉😉😂😂<br />
<br />
Tue, 31 Jul - The last day of July. Teach early morning seminary as the regular seminary teacher is recovering from dental surgery. Elder Haley is trying to get rid of the sore throat and sniffles - to no avail. We met with one of the local Baptist ministers today and gave him a pumpkin pie as a going away present. We also gave him a Book of Mormon and that led to a 1-2 hour discussion which was interesting for both of us. We then had a visit by the Binghams who are the new senior missionary couple in Armidale - a 3 hour drive from Grafton. We handed over the sewing machine and heaps of kitchen utensils. Then off to Hanks to get the Wednesday Seminary Hanks pastry. We made a few stops to drop off other papers, etc. Then out to Junction Hill to visit with one of our old neighbors - Peter & Lois Robinson, for a bit. Then back to church for a Primary Presidency meeting - our last one 😥 Then back home to prepare dinner for Scott and some lively discussions on life and the Gospel. Collapse and bed.<br />
<br />
Wed, 1 Aug - Teach early morning seminary and deliver the Hanks pastry. Call Mom Haley and let her see that we are still alive and doing well. Back home to bake choc chip cookies for the primary activity. Visit with Kerry Arthur to make sure that she is recovering from the dental surgery. Head to church building for the primary activity. Goof around with the kids and miss supper, so we stay for FHC (Sister Haley) and Young Women (Elder Haley).<br />
<br />
Thu, 2 Aug - Slept in a little bit. We were to take Shane Leach to Coffs Harbour, but he backed out; however, we did take his mum to Coffs for the support/benefit meeting. We ran out to see Barry Ward while Margaret Leach was in the benefits meeting. After returning to Grafton in the early afternoon, we got a call asking if we could drive up to Maclean (1 hour) to give a daughter and grandchild of Ann Mewis blessings - so we did. Then we stopped and visited with Joan Hibberd in the aged care facility. We grabbed some bread, cheese & meat from the local grocer and had a picnic dinner in the Maclean park on the banks of the Clarence River. Then home to bed.<br />
<br />
Fri, 3 Aug - Slept in a bit. Then off to Woolworths for some shopping before heading up to Brisbane for the Quarterly Branch temple trip. We took Patricia Stiller with us and had a lovely trip up - she is always good company. We arrived in Brisbane early enough to go to the new distribution centre and buy a few things. Elder Haley bought some things for one of the men who was not able to make the trip this time. Then off to the Errington's for dinner and a place to sleep. We are really fortunate to have the Erringtons in Brisbane so we can socialise with them and have a place to stay.<br />
<br />
Sat, 4 Aug - we attended the temple and were able to do some temple work for Kerry Arthur's family - what a blessing. We were able to have lunch with the Bests and Oldfields, before heading back to Grafton. Patricia rode back to Grafton with her daughter, Kim. We drove for an hour or so and then pulled off in one of the road side parks and took a nap before we ended up in a ditch. After a nice 1 hour nap, we headed on down to Grafton - arriving safe and sound.<br />
<br />
Sun, 5 Aug - It is fast Sunday, so our Presidency meeting starts at 0830 instead of 0730 - hurrah for small blessings. The testimonies were good - they always are. After our meetings and taking care of tithing deposits, we and the Normans went out to the Howards (Scott's parents - Judy & Martin) for a lamb dinner. Mike was not looking forward to the lamb, but it was really good - get that recipe for butterfly lamb leg 😉😜 A lovely time had by all. Then home to rest and prepare to teach seminary in the morning.<br />

<br />
Mon, 23 Jul - It is early morning Seminary day - oh boy it was hard to get my eyes open, let alone get my body out of bed. Oh wait a minute - today is a school free day, so no seminary. Hurrah, time to go back to bed. Sister Haley went on to declutter for 4 1/2 hours. One more declutter Monday after this one. Elder Haley stayed home and did some ironing and cleaning of the flat.<br />
<br />
Tue, 24 Jul - Now we had seminary. 5 am comes awful early and quickly. A real shock to the ol' body after a 2 week holiday. Oh, boy - today is the day. It is Platypus hunting day - only hunting to see them. We are going with Joyce Wallbank to Nymboida (the home of the platypus). Our first stop was a dud - the place is locked down and no one is allowed to cross the property to see the platypus. We go to one of the camping grounds and talk with a friendly bloke who tells us that one of the best places is where Margaret and I were 3-4 months ago - we just went at the wrong time of day. So off we go and we can see a platypus flopping around in the water as we walk the cliff down to the bank of the Nymboida river. 👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 We spend roughly the next hour watching the little fella swim and play in the river. We also saw 2 of them playing together and it is on video which is posted on FB, since the blog will not handle video. It was the best day!!!!! Then we stopped at Coutts Crossing for dinner and then took Joyce on home. We are one of the few people who have been privileged to see platypus in the wild.<br />
<br />
Wed, 25 Jul - Early morning seminary - it was easier today after the great day we had yesterday. We called and talked with Mike's mum and one of our daughters. We drove out to Tucabia and visited with Sarah for a bit and were able to see & play with her new daughter, Rachel. It was pretty country there - just west of Ulmarra (in case you want to know where it is 😂😂) Then home to make French Bread before the primary activity, FHC and Young Women.<br />
<br />
Thur, 26 Jul - FHC in the morning, plus a bunch of phone calls to find out who we can visit when. Then off to the Blue Goose for lunch with the Prices. Then run some errands. Dinner is at the Leach's - Shane is cooking spaghetti Bolognese for us. It was good and went well with the french bread.<br />
<br />
Fri, 27 Jul - visits and more visits. A welfare good run. Went with one of the sisters to help evaluate a financial advisor. We stopped by the South Grafton Aged Care facility and visited for quite a while with Dorothy Legwidge (Margaret Leach's mum).<br />
<br />
Sat, 28 Jul - Elder Haley played handyman this morning for Margaret Leach. We got finished in time to head out to Poley House road and have lunch with the Paewai family. To our surprise, Joyce Wallbank was there also - hurrah. We had a grand tour of the Paewai farm and had a really good time.<br />
<br />
Sun, 29 Jul - A normal Sunday - almost. Sister & Elder Haley gave talks in Sacrament. Elder Haley pinch hitted for Gospel Doctrine class and Elder Haley lead the 3rd hour discussion on Ministering. Sister Stiller came by the flat later in the afternoon to get debriefed by Sister Haley. Then final preparations for teaching seminary tomorrow.<br />

<br />
Mon, 16 Jul - The BIG day has arrived. We got up at 430 am and picked up Kerry Arthur at 6 am. Stopped to top up the petrol tank and then headed north on the A1 to Brisbane. We arrived at the Brisbane temple about 10 am. We took a few photos and then reported into the the temple. Normally the temple is not open on Mondays, but the Brisbane temple opens one Monday every 6 weeks for young missionaries that are going home. Many are from countries without a temple and this helps fortify them spiritually before they go home. The Temple President, President Cowan, offered to have some of his staff help Kerry with her sealing to her parents on this Monday. The lights in the temple were turned off so the glare & emi would not bother Kerry. The temple was very quiet and peaceful. Because it was so quiet and very few people, the Spirit was super strong for us all. Kerry was sealed to her parents and she performed a few other sealings of family while she was able to be in the temple. We also were able to sit in the celestial room for a bit - a wonderful room to consider family and our eternal relationship with our family and Heavenly Father. It was a super spiritual day for us all. We got back to Grafton around 530 pm. Tired, but very Happy.<br />
<br />
Tue, 17 Jul - One of the nice things about being a senior missionary is that we have more time/opportunity to talk with friends and family back home. Margaret made a 2 1/2 hour video chat with one of her friends back in the US. ELDER HALEY, in the mean time, went shopping at the grocery store, talked with the District President regarding one of the sisters in the branch, stopped by the sister's flat to drop off the information from the District President, went to the meetinghouse and created a PowerPoint to be used this coming Sunday on Aussie's using LDS.Org for their tithing and other contributions. Finally, Margaret got off the video and became Sister Haley (again). We read our scriptures (New Testament at the moment) together. Then we went back to the sister's flat and followed up on what Elder Haley had dropped off. Then a quick bite for lunch and on out to visit with the Howards for a few hours - we really enjoy visiting with them. Stopped by the Price's and got some branch work done. Back home to post the Blog and then over to one of the other families to help them with the LDS.org donation application. One more stop at the seminary student's home and then we can eat dinner. Sister Haley is making pie crust while Elder Haley is typing up the blog.<br />
<br />
Wed, 18 Jul - Last Wednesday to sleep in before seminary starts next week. Elder Haley checked out a financial planner for one of the single sisters in he branch. Sister Haley went off looking for knitting needles at the thrift shops. Then to BigW to print some pictures for some of the sisters in the branch. We dropped by Shane Leach's home to wish him a happy 18th birthday. Now back home finish dinner preparations for one of the single brothers - roast pork.<br />
<br />
Thu, 19 Jul - Family History centre in the morning. Then off to find a "kissin" cousin for Sister Cashman/Mackie who we met at Tom Anderson's funeral. We found him and had a lovely chat and learned quite a bit about the history in this part of the country. Over to Ulmarra used book store to look for some books for Mike's mum. Then back to Grafton for a 2:30 meeting. Helped clean the building before a Primary Presidency meeting. Then home for dinner and a rest. Doing service can sure wear you out physically 😁, but lift you up spiritually.<br />
<br />
Fri, 20 Jul - In the morning we went looking for one of the sisters and found her at the home of one of her children - baby sitting. We talked awhile and made arrangements to be her plan B for some medical visits that she needs to make in the coming weeks. At noon, we met with another sister and went to a financial planning meeting with her, so that she had a second/third pair of ears/eyes to better understand what was being presented.<br />
<br />
Sat, 21 Jul - We made a Viber call to our son Ryan and caught up with what is going on in his & his wife's life. Then we went out visiting some of the sisters in South Grafton - homes and Aged care facilities. Home for a quick lunch and then to a Relief Society activity. The attendance was pretty good, the food was great and the sisters seemed to have a very good time. We cleaned up after the activity and went home.<br />
<br />
Sun, 22 Jul - A normal Sunday. Elder Haley had a Branch Presidency meeting. Then the normal meetings - the talks were good and focused around the promises we make when we are baptised. We then went home and worked on our visiting calendar for the next (and last) 3 weeks. We have heaps of people to see and want to make sure we get them all visited without too big a rush.<br />

<br />
Mon, 9 Jul - We attended the funeral and cemetery service for Tom Anderson, long time friend and husband of Virginia Anderson. Tom was Scottish and they had a bag piper at the cemetery. It was a sad day and a happy day - all at the same time. We were able to be with heaps of old friends and enjoy reminiscing about the past and sharing memories of Tom. We spent the rest of the day with Rhonda Crosbie and then went back to the Jeffree's for a good night's sleep. Boy was it cold as there was NO heat in the house during bedtime and the temperature got down into the low 40's F.<br />
<br />
Tue, 10 Jul - We had a delicious (and large) breakfast cooked by Katie Jeffree. Then climbed into the car and headed for Grafton. We did make a short stop by the LDS Distribution centre to pick up some primary supplies for Sister Cave. We stopped just outside of Coffs Harbour (at Halfway Creek, if you must know) and visited with Barry Ward and his dogs - Honey & Midnight for about an hour before finishing the last hour of driving home. Ah, it was good to be home.<br />
<br />
Wed, 11 Jul - No seminary this week - hurrah. We visited with a few of the sisters & husbands in the branch. Elder Haley went bowling with the Elders Quorum and young men - a way to get the two generations to have some fun together. We did have heaps of fun, ate pizza and rolled the ball down the lanes a bit (and sometimes in the gutter). No world records in the bowling world were set tonight at the Grafton 10 Pins place.<br />
<br />
Thu, 12 Jul - We worked at Family History this morning. Then ran more errands and Sister Haley worked on her pillow dress for the Relief Society activity. Elder Haley worked on the lock on the front door of the meetinghouse - to no avail, so we have to get a new lock installed. We also met with the seminary teacher some more and did some final planning on our trip to the Brisbane temple this coming Monday. Normally the Temple is not open on Monday, but it will be this coming monday for some of the young missionaries, so we are taking Sister Kerry Arthur up so she can be sealed to her parents. Her sensitivity to magnetic waves and radio waves means that special consideration has to be made by the temple so she can be an environment that is as "safe" as possible for her. Bless the temple President and staff who are doing this for her.<br />
<br />
Fri, 13 Jul - It was not such a bad day, for Friday the 13th. 😨😱😁 We met with the seminary teacher to see if she could use Skype in the meetinghouse, but it was just way too much electromagnetic & RF for her - so back to the drawing boards. We then played taxi driver for one of the younger members of the branch. He bought us double Big Macs which ended up being a life saver as we had no time for dinner before meeting some others at the meetinghouse for the weekly cleaning. Then we popped in at the Normans for a few minutes to visit with Ex-Elder Ta'ala who came back from NZ for a short visit, after completing his mission<br />
<br />
Sat, 14 Jul - We went over in the morning to help fix a vacuum at one of the sister's homes. Than home for lunch before the start of Branch Conference training meetings. Branch Presidency training from 230 to 4pm. Then Auxiliary & quorum leader training until 530 pm. Then Pizza - hurrah. The final meeting was on Family History and it was quite instructive on how to learn the history part of finding family names. The class was presented by President & Sister Denley and was quite good.<br />
<br />
Sun, 15 Jul - Branch conference Sunday. We held all 3 hours of meetings in the chapel as one combined group (men & women). The talks and instruction were good. The talks in the sacrament meeting portion were instructive and uplifting. We had a potluck luncheon afterward which was also enjoyable. Then home for a few hours before going to sleep, as Monday will start early - it is our day to drive to the Brisbane Temple with Kerry Arthur.<br />

Mon, 2 Jul - Early morning seminary. The rest of the day was spent on errands and cleaning up the flat. No decluttering today.<br />
<br />
Tue, 3 Jul - Early morning seminary. Elder Haley baked choc chip cookies for the Wednesday Primary movie night. The Coffs elders were in Grafton for the day, so we took them to the Village Green for lunch. Then we gave them a list of members to visit and sent them on their way. They had some good visits and the members were pleased to have them here for the day - now to get some investigators for them. We went out and visited one of our old neighbors in Junction Hill, Peter & Lois Robinson. We had a good chat for a few hours. They are taking a 3-4 month tour of northern and western Australia early next year, after they get their new caravan (mobile home in Yankee talk). We got their email address so we can follow up with them over the years.<br />

Wed, 4 Jul - Happy 4th July. Early morning seminary. Elder Haley met with the meetinghouse rep and discussed some things about building maintenance. Then he set up the tv and dvd for the movie night. Sister Haley worked on one of her (many) RS projects - how to make a dress out of a pillowcase, more of the "fix it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without". I am not sure that she can make a shirt for me out of a pillow case, and I do not want to find out. Sister Haley will go to Family History while Elder Haley goes to the movies with Primary (on the second floor of the meeting house).<br />
<br />
Thu, 5 Jul - Happy birthday to my brother, Jim. We worked in the family history centre (FHC) in the morning. Then sister Haley went decluttering at one of the sister's homes in the afternoon. Then we made a visit to another family and ended the day by delivering a "way to go" message from the Seminary director to our seminary student - who did quite well on the mid-term seminary test.<br />
<br />
Fri, 6 Jul - Sister Haley went over to one of the sister's homes and help bake/ice cakes for a birthday party. Mike (not Elder Haley) decided to get in his daily exercise by walking to the Hank's Kitchen in Junction Hill - about 4.6 miles round trip (not quite a marathon or even a half-marathon). Of course, to provide incentive for all this exertion, he had to buy an horseshoe pastry (puff pastry with white icing flavoured with passion fruit); thus negating any calories burned in the walk 😁😅😎 We played taxi in the afternoon and then had Scott over for dinner (beef stroganoff)<br />
<br />
Sat, 7 Jul - A day for cleaning the flat and doing errands of various sorts. We did meet with the seminary teacher for a few hours and did some planning for the rest of the year. We packed our suitcase for the trip to Sydney tomorrow. Our friend, Tom Anderson died last Sunday and the funeral is this coming Monday, 9 Jul.<br />
<br />
Sun, 8 Jul - A normal Sunday with meetings starting at 0730 and sacrament meeting starting at 10 am. Elder Haley is normally spending the 2nd and 3rd hour of normal Church meetings in Primary with the 3 to 11 year olds. Elder Haley is getting used to sitting on the small, primary chairs. At the end of the 3 hour block, we headed for Sydney. The drive was without incident and we arrived at Katie & Brent Jeffree's home around 830pm. It was good to see and be with them.<br />

<br />
Mon, 25 Jun - Early morning seminary. It is declutter Monday for Sister Haley. It is clean the flat Monday for Elder Haley. Then a visit to hospital where one of the sisters is having gall stone problems. Never a dull moment in Grafton, NSW.<br />
<br />
Tue, 26 Jun - Early morning seminary. Out to visit with Joyce Wallbank later in the morning. Sarah is heading for Lismore where they can take care of the gall stones. Playing taxi driver for Shane. While waiting on Shane, we stopped by to visit with the cousin who was referred to us, and set up a time to return and visit some more.<br />
<br />
Wed, 27 Jun - Early morning seminary. Then out to Maclean to visit with Joan Hibberd. Elder Haley usually administers the Sacrament to Joan since she is not able to come to the Branch Sunday meetings. The afternoon is with Primary Faith in God activity and then FHC/Young Women in the eveing.<br />
<br />
Thur, 28 Jun - FHC in the morning. Then off to Coffs Harbour to pick up the new Church phone - a smart phone. We stopped by to see Barry Ward on our way home, but he was down and out for the day; however, we were able to talk with his daughter, Jane. Then on home for the evening and try to get the new phone working - it did not work. We stopped by Arielle's home tonight to drop off a birthday Hanks Kitchen slice and carrot cake - Arielle's birthday is this coming Saturday, but she will be in Coffs so we celebrated early.<br />
<br />
Fri, 29 Jun - Elder Haley went to Optus to have them check out the phone - only to have it work there. Now it is working just fine, so I guess we did not wait long enough for the SIM to be activated by Optus last night. We had lunch with the referral and a good visit for a few hours; however, we were not able to get any Gospel discussion started. We are not sure we will make much progress with the cousin, but she is a lovely lady to visit. Then back home to play taxi for Shane and show him the table we have in the flat that we will need to donate when we leave.<br />
<br />
Sat, 30 Jun - We picked up Joyce Wallbank and spent the day in the country enjoying the country and trying to find a platypus (we did not). We did see where Joyce used to live out in the hills and hollers - a beautiful place in the woods. We did make it to Jackadgery for ice cream, so the day ended up just as good as the rest of the day in the beautiful country side of the Clarence valley.<br />
<br />
We feel extremely blessed to have had a chance to serve the Lord here in the Clarence Valley - with beautiful country and beautiful people.<br />
<br />
Sun, 1 Jul - We got word that a friend in Sydney, Tom Anderson, passed away this morning. We will go to Sydney for the funeral. After the church meetings, we took the Sacrament to Margaret Leach who is not able to make it to Sunday meetings very often. One of her nieces was there and partook of the sacrament as well. Then later in the evening we met with Sister Patricia Stiller and went over some Church computer things with her.<br />

The map of the area we traveled today. the map is at the Jackadgery Caravan park where we usually stop for a giant ice cream cone. We started in Grafton (lower right). Went on the north side of the Clarence to Copmanhurts, Wine Grove, through Fine Flower and crossed the Clarence near Coombadjha (center top). Then winding down Cangai to Jackadgery where we headed back north-west to get to the ice cream at the Caravan park. After having our fill of ice cream we drove southeast to Grafton. It was about 250-300 km and took about 8 hours with stops (millions of stops to look at the beautiful country and take pictures) and lunch.</div>

<br />
Mon, 18 Jun - Early morning seminary - we not only attended, but we taught seminary this week. Elder Haley led the class on Monday. We discussed Alma 23-26 which dealt with the Lamanites taught by Ammon/Aaron/etc being converted to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and taking on the name of Anti-Nephi-Lehies. They buried their weapons of rebellion and would not take them up again. What are our weapons of rebellion against the Lord - will we give them up and not take them up again?<br />
After Seminary, Sister Haley went to declutter for 5 hours. Then back to the flat and grocery store to get supplies for dinner with Scott Howard. During dinner we discussed a little politics, religion and philosophy - it exercised our brain a bit.<br />
<br />
Tue, 19 Jun - Early morning seminary was taught by Sister Haley. It was a doctrinal mastery day and we learned/talked about Dispensations, Apostasy and Restoration. We found that there is a cycle that runs through the 3 periods, and that we as individuals also seem to run through a cycle very similar to that of the world - We find a way to be close to God, then we may/tend to drop off and then we pick our selves back up and start all over again. Hopefully make progress in our growing closer to Heavenly Father as we go through the cycle; however, it is best if we can just stay close to Heavenly Father and not go through the cycle. The rest of the day was spent preparing for the next day of seminary and getting ready to do some errands and play taxi driver.<br />
<br />
Wed, 20 Jun - Elder Haley taught seminary this morning. We discussed Alma 27 through 29. We touched on two principles: (1) God allows us to make choices based on our desires, whether those desires will lead to our salvation or not, and (2) When we are fully converted to the Lord, we keep the covenants we have made with Him. We then watched a 10 minute video about the LDS saints in Ghana during 1989-1990. The Ghanaian government closed down the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints (LDS Church) (and some other church denominations, as well), locked up all the meeting houses and expelled all the missionaries. The saints in Ghana had to pull together and support each other during this time, and it was questionable if the Ghanaian government would ever let the LDS Church open back up. The LDS Saints rallied around each other, kept the faith and when the Ghanaian government found out that they made the initial decision based on incorrect information, the government allowed the Church to reopen and the growth in converts was very significant because of the publicity and action of the members during the Freeze. We then went out to visit one of our old neighbors, Maureen. Home for lunch then off to the Primary activity - we played sport, 4 square and the number game today. Later in the evening we attend Family History and Young Women.<br />
<br />
Thur, 21 Jun - A day of rest - at least we did not have to get up at 5 am for seminary today 😇 We helped with the family history centre (FHC) and then in the early afternoon we drove out to the Binskins near Lawrence to see the new baby Alpacas (called cria or crias, if more than one). They are cute little buggers and we had a good time seeing, holding, petting them. We will go back one more time before we have to leave Grafton. Then home for dinner. Elder Haley went with Peter Arnull to give one of the sisters a blessing. Sister Haley is working on a purse made from short-shorts and a dress made from a pillow case - the RS is still into learning how "to fix it up, wear it out, make it do or do without". Elder Haley is also fasting for the recovery of one of the YSA kids in Hyde Park, Sydney who is in the hospital - we got the notice last night that Andy Mildenhall was in hospital and Bishop Akroyd asked the YSA ward members to fast for Andy.<br />
<br />
Fri, 22 Jun - Sister Haley is taking the declutter lady to Coffs for a doctor's appointment. Elder Haley is helping with the weekly cleaning of the meetinghouse. Sister Haley did not make it back in time for a taxi pickup, so Elder borrowed a car and made the Taxi run. We got a call from one of our old Aussie friends who gave us a referral for a lady in Grafton - her first cousin.<br />
<br />
Sat, 23 Jun - Played handyman for one of the sisters this morning. Went to the Branch activity in the afternoon, sponsored by the Young Women. It was a lot of fun with a number of outdoor games (Please see pictures below).<br />
<br />
Sun, 24 Jun - a normal Sunday in Grafton - Church meetings, after Church meetings and some visits with members.<br />

<br />
Mon, 11 Jun - Sister Haley is out decluttering and putting junk out for the council kerb side pickup. Elder Haley is updating the blog and trying to make sense of the Optus prepaid data sim that he uses to get internet access at the house. Ah the joys of living in the digital world - NOT!!!!! Around 1:30 pm Elder Haley went over to the declutter house and helped move things from the house, backyard and garage out to the kerb for the council kerbside pickup. We left for home (and dinner) around 5 pm.<br />
<br />
Tue, 12 Jun - No seminary this morning as the seminary student needed to be at school early this morning. Elder Haley worked on renewing our US Medicare once we get back to the US. The Primary Presidency met today, instead of last week, and worked on several things for Primary.<br />
<br />
Wed, 13 Jun - We did have Seminary this morning, taught by Sister Arthur. Then Margaret and Mike called Mike's mum, plus our son Ryan and his wife, Marisol, who were over visiting with Mum Haley. Primary activity was held a bit late, but we had a good time. Then FHC in the evening. YW was cancelled due to illness with YW President - all will be better next week.<br />
<br />
Thur, 14 Jun - We had FHC in the morning. In the afternoon, we made a test run in our car with Kerry Arthur - to make sure the electromagnetic fields in our car were low enough for her, before we drove up to the Brisbane Temple on Monday,16 July. We drove out into the country along the Gwydir Highway. We then took a drive in Kerry's car to see if there was any difference in the EMI readings - not really. So we have decided that using our car for the Brisbane trip will be ok. We learned one thing (maybe more) - The wheels of a car generate significantly more electromagnetic field energy than the rest of the car. The EMI readings on the floorboards near the wheels was in the range of about 3 to 5, versus a reading on 0.3-0.5 on ones lap. And Mag wheels generate significantly more (7 to 9), so the moral of the story is to stay away from the wheels if you are susceptible to electromagnetic fields.<br />
<br />
Fri, 15 Jun - In the morning, we drove up the Summerland Highway (B91) to Casino, NSW, to the Primex Rural Ag show - basically a farmer's day out to see all the new farm equipment. There were food booths as well, and a few clothing, etc booths - but most was tractors, farm equipment and earth moving equipment. We went up to see the Alpaca Association booth and find Alpaca yarn for one of our daughters, and other things for Mike's mum. The Alpaca booth had two young Alpacas in a pen for people to see and touch. We also went over and watched the bull & heifer sale - making sure we did not raise our hand or scratch our nose. Bulls and heifers were going for no less than A$ 2,500 and we did not have room in the car for one of them. 😂😎 We then saw some cattle dogs (Kelpie breed???) practicing herding cattle, so they would be ready for the competition on Saturday - grand prize was A$1,500. We had a good day at the show. <br />
On the way back to Grafton, we stopped at one of the Tea Tree fields so that Mike could verify that they bushes we saw really were tea trees. Yes they were/are. The farmer was harvesting tea trees that day and the entire air was filled with the smell of tea tree oil. So we drove on up to see how they harvested tea trees - they use a sileage harvester to cut the tea tree and chop up into sileage (tea treeage). Then they bring the wagon of chopped tea tree up to the plant where it is dumped into a big pile. They then use a front loader to load the chopped tea tree into a special wagon that is taken into the oil removal plant. A lid is dropped down on top of the wagon and clamped down. The lid has a large set of stainless steel pipes that are encased in a larger air vent pipe. The process goes something like - a coal fired boiler produces steam that is piped over to each of 4 wagons. The steam is run through a steam hose into the bottom rear of the wagon. The steam then works its way through the chopped tea tree extracting the oil as it goes. The steam/oil vapor then exits out the top through the stainless steel pipes which are cooled by cold water running through the larger air vent pipe. The condensed water & oil drip (or actually run) out of the stainless steel pipes into a large vat where the oil floats on top of the water. the oil is drained off and the water is allowed to flow out the bottom of the vat. The oil is collected into 55 gal drums and carried over to a larger oil vat. The oil from the vat is then poured into larger containers that are shipped off to the tea tree oil retailers - Maleluca and Thursday Plantation. The farmer recommends that we only buy from one of these two vendors to make sure we get 100% pure tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is used as an antiseptic, but also can be used on burns to reduce damage and keep scarring from happening. The farmer has also heard of people taking 2-3 drops in water to cure ailments/infections within the body. We then left for home after thanking the farmer profusely for all his time and explanation.<br />
<br />
Saturday, 16 Jun - In the morning we helped with deep cleaning the meeting house. Then back to clean up and change clothes before driving up to Yamba for lunch with Fraser & Lydia Mathieson. After lunch we took a tour of Yamba - a lovely little holiday town. We were appropriately impressed. We headed back to Grafton around 5 pm.<br />
<br />
Sun, 17 Jun - Almost a normal Sunday. Tevita & Tia To'ia had their baby son, Benson, blessed today. After the Church meetings we were invited to their house, along with others, for a little get together. They had a whole roast pig on a spit - Tongan style. The meat was really tasty. We also had veggies and purple sweet potato. The blessing (during Sacrament meeting) that Tevita gave his son, Benson, was very touching and we could feel the love that he & Heavenly Father had for Benson. Later in the evening we had the Coffs elders over for dinner - not as good as the roast pig.<br />

<br />
Monday, 4 June - Ah yes, it is early morning seminary day again. Sister Haley and Elder Haley will be administering the mid-year assessment on Tuesday & Wednesday, since Sister Kerry Arthur will be having some dental work done those days. We were able to talk with Heather, Simon & Makeda this morning via video chat for a bit. Sister Haley is now over at the Monday declutter project. Sister Haley spent all day running the declutter lady around town for doctor, scripts, etc. Elder Haley is doing ironing, wash and updating the blog. Then more tasks around the flat. We are waiting to hear if Beth Norman has delivered Emma yet. Beth went into hospital Sunday at 3pm to have the birth induced, but we have not heard if Emma is out and still clinging to the insides of her mum 😎😕😝😥 Elder Haley to meet Clive at the bank later this afternoon to make the tithing deposit since we had coins in the tithing receipts and we cannot deposit coins through the ATM. Autumn has really struck here in Grafton - low of 48F and high of 70F. Since we do not have any central heat we do turn on the space heaters in the bedroom and living room.<br />
<br />
Tuesday, 5 June Early morning seminary was cancelled due to the illness of our seminary student. Sister Haley spent more time with the declutter lady, running her around town for more doctor meetings, etc. We had a taxi ride cancelled and Primary Presidency meeting cancelled, so we hit the grocery store for food that we will need this Sunday for the branch luncheon. We received word that Beth Norman gave birth to Emma Helen Norman at 3 minutes after midnight today. Hurrah, it is about time Emma decided to come out into the world.<br />
<br />
Wed, 6 June - we administered the Seminary mid-year Assessment. The Seminary student, Arielle, did very well on the assessment. We are really proud of her and her teacher, Kerry Arthur. Mike talked with his mum after seminary. Then home for brekky. We headed for hospital after brekky to see Emma. Home for lunch. Then play taxi for one of the sisters. Then to the meetinghouse for the Wednesday Primary activity. Home for dinner and then back for Young Women (YW). The girls are working on Family History tonight. For their personal progress activity they need to log in at least 12 hours on Family History. They are putting Elder Haley to shame - he has to get his act together.<br />
<br />
Thur, 7 June - FHC in the morning and then head off for Newcastle (a 5 hour drive). The Zone Conference is scheduled for Friday, 8 June, and we want to attend it as it will be the last Zone Conference we will have with President & Sister Checketts. There will be a change of Mission Presidents on 1 July 2018. We will make a short stop in Coffs Harbour to pick up a collectible Omega watch that belonged to Mike's dad and is being rebuilt by a watch repair person there. It will be nice to have the watch back and working. Then on to Newcastle with a short stop at Heatherbrae's pies - we got a fruit pie and not a meat pie this time. Got to the motel at about 7pm and Mike was glad to stop driving.<br />
<br />
Fri, 8 June - We stayed for the entire zone conference this time, as President Checketts was going to give his training last. The Zone leaders and Sister Checketts taught first about the new Chapter 8 in Preach My Gospel. Sister & Elder Haley participated more today than we have in the past. We also received training on sharing our testimonies on Fast & Testimony Sunday - NO MORE than 2 minutes and make sure whatever you talked about was tied back to the 5 main principles of our testimony- Jesus is the Christ, we have a loving Heavenly Father, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saint is His Church, The Book of Mormon is the word of God, Joseph Smith was a prophet and we still have prophets today. I do bear witness that each of these 5 are true. I am so very thankful that we do have a loving Heavenly Father and a Saviour, Jesus Christ, who are loving and patient with us as go through this life trying to be more like them - picking us up and brushing away the dust as we stumble along the way towards them (we must never give up). President Checketts talked about our journey and the 8 steps that we go through as we live, learn and follow the Saviour towards being like Him. We left the Charlestown meetinghouse around 4 pm and headed back to Grafton. We stopped at Heatherbrae's pies and had a meat pie for dinner and a fruit pie for dessert. We also picked up a large fruit pie for the Youth to eat after their video fireside with President Nelson. We finally got home around 10:30 pm ( a short 6 hour drive for those who have a problem with a 20 minute drive to the stake centre).<br />
<br />
Sat, 9 June - We spent most of the day cooking and baking for the youth fireside to be held at President Norman's on Sunday and for the potluck at the branch after Church meetings. We made a meatball bake that Margaret found in an Austrlian cooking magazine - it was really tasty, by the way.<br />
<br />
Sun, 10 June - We had President & Sister Sadler visit the branch today. President Sadler is one of the District Presidency counselors. Then we had the feed after our meetings. Elder Haley spent the 2nd and 3rd hours with Primary, which has become his normal routine for Sunday. We took Pearce out to the Paewai farm after the youth fireside. The farm is about 30 minutes from our house, and is south of Grafton. It is fairly close to Joyce Wallbank's place on Arora Road. Karl Paewai, one of the sons, gave us a tour of the farm and explained what they were raising or growing. They are trying to become self supporting and it looks like they will do well.<br />

<br />
Mon, 28 May - Early morning seminary. It is assessment review time, as next week will be the mid-year assessment (test) for seminary. It is declutter Monday and sister Haley is off helping declutter. Elder Haley came back to the flat and vacuumed, updated the blog, tried to take a nap and did other chores around the flat.<br />
<br />
Tue, 29 May - Early morning seminary - my it is dark at 0500. We called and talked with our grandson Isaac, and his parents - Brea & Don. We wrote an email to the Brisbane temple following up on a special sealing for Sister Kerry Arthur on 16 July. Sister Arthur is super sensitive to lights, electromagnetic fields, wifi, etc. So we are going to the Brisbane temple on a Monday when missionaries are attending, so the people traffic is low; hence, the temple lights, etc can be kept to a minimum. Brisbane temple President Cowan is doing all he can to help Kerry do her sealing to parents. We drove out to visit with Barry Ward (just past Halfway Creek on Dundoo Reach) and had lunch with him and his dogs, Honey & Midnight. Then back to Grafton for grocery shopping and baking choc chip cookies.<br />
<br />
Wed, 30 May - Early morning seminary - it is still dark at 0500 😣 We then went on a hunt for a spring to fix the LaZBoy chair of one of the sisters - we came close enough to fix the chair. Then we played taxi for another sister. Back to the Branch meetinghouse for Primary activity & Faith in God, where we gave up 1/2 of the choc chip cookies. A quick dash home for dinner and then back to the meetinghouse for Family History Centre (Margaret) and YW (Mike). The YW went bowling at the 10 pin alley just down the street from the meetinghouse. The girls had a good time. Then back to the meetinghouse for ice cream and choc chips.<br />
<br />
Thu, 31 May - Mike was able to get his body out of bed and go for a walk & weights this morning - the first time in weeks. He survived. We then picked up one of the sisters and got her to a Dr appointment. We dropped Elder Haley off at the meetinghouse at 10 am so he could do some chores and help a bit with FHC. Sister Haley took one of the sisters to Coffs (1 hour south of Grafton) for a Dr appointment. While there the sister was told to go to Hospital for some tests in the ER. She & Sister Haley are still there and it is 10 pm. Hopefully they will be released soon and come back to Grafton. Elder Haley did laundry, cleaned the bathroom. took a nap, worked on the blog, had dinner, read the scriptures - trying to stay awake until Sister Haley gets back home safely. Finally at 12:30 am, Sister Haley got home - a long day in the emergency room with the Grafton sister.<br />
<br />
Fri, 1 Jun - Mike got up a bit early this morning to have a short call with the Cocoa Metro CPA; however, it was postponed until tomorrow. So Mike decided to do his walk & weights. Then back into the Missionary mode. We picked up Spencer Norman from primary school since his mum, Beth, was having contractions and was going to hospital. Bummer - False alarm, but we did get to spend some time with Spencer before we had to give him up to his dad, President Norman. We had Scott Howard over for dinner - nothing special, just a pasta dish with bolognese sauce and veggies. Then a long discussion with Scott on the world; however, we did not solve any big (or small for that matter) issues.<br />
<br />
Sat, 2 Jun - Since we were not going Platypus searching, the day became a visit day. We stopped by and visited with Tia To'ia, the new mother in the branch. Then off to Junction Hill to visit Maureen Gollam - one of our neighbors when we lived at 2 Acacia. Home for lunch, then back out visiting. We saw Margaret Leach and offered her a ride to visit her mum in the Aged Care facility. Had a good visit with both and then to South Grafton to visit one of the other sisters in the branch. Back home, Sister Haley worked on the family history worksheet for Kerry Arthur so we had the proper information to send to the temple prior to Kerry being sealed to her parents. We will be talking Kerry to the Brisbane Temple on Monday, 16 June, where they are making special arrangements for her due to her super sensitivity to lights, wifi & magnetic fields.<br />
<br />
Sun, 3 Jun - Fast Sunday. We had a good fast & testimony meeting. One of the counselors in the Brisbane temple presidency & his wife attended (the Hills) and shared their testimonies, as well. After the Church meetings, Sister Haley met with the RS presidency for some planning and Elder Haley worked on tithing and other admin things. Then home to break our fast with left overs - some of the pasta/bolognese made for Friday dinner with Scott.<br />

Mon, 7 May - Here we are at early morning seminary. 0500 comes early, but thank goodness we have daylight savings time so the sun is beginning to come up as we leave the house at 0600. A month ago, we were leaving at the same time, but in total darkness. Today is a declutter day for Sister Haley at one of the sister's homes. Elder Haley will be making a tithing deposit at the bank for the branch and then working around the flat and cleaning out the car (which needs it very badly). We are also waiting to hear from Barry Ward, so we know if we are to take him home today.<br />
<br />
We have been without internet access at home since 13 April 2018. It has just been revived as of 25 May 2018. Way too much time has gone by since I had the time/ability to write in the blog, so this past 3 weeks is a bit of a blur. I will not go day by day, but will try to summarise the things that we have noted and/or written down.<br />
<br />
Here is the Reader's Digest version of the past 3 weeks.<br />
<br />
7-13 May - We spent a fair amount of time visiting members and providing rides for members who do not have a car. The bus system is good, but the buses do not run that often and taxi's are not cheap for someone on a pension. We met with the CES/Seminary director for our area this week and discussed with him and our seminary teacher how/what we can do to help make seminary a better learning experience. We helped move unwanted furniture from one of the sister's house to the kerb side for Clarence Valley kerbside pickup week. We helped with Family History Centre and made some visits to hospital and aged care facility. On Friday we drove up to the Brisbane Temple and attended the Tempe on Saturday with the Grafton Branch. We were able to stay overnight with our friends from Newbury Park, Bob & Susan Errington - that is always a pleasure.<br />
<br />
14-20 May - The normal decluttering on Monday by Sister Haley. More visits to members and we helped one of the sisters move her household goods into storage. Helped with the weekly Primary activity which will be moved to Wednesday as of next week. On Saturday, the RS had an activity in which they showed various was to "fix it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without". One of the things that Sister Haley did was make liquid hand soap out of left over pieces of bar soap. Margaret made TWO pumpkin pies for the dessert at the Bests on Sunday. The Bests live 1 1/2 hour away on a 4,000 acre farm in the Jackadgery area. The main dish was Silverside Corned Beef - it was super good and we now have the recipe. We celebrated our newest grandson's first birthday - without him. We will talk with him on Viber/Skype in the next day or two. A busy week (aren't they all) even if it does not sound like it.<br />
<br />
21- 27 May - Declutter Monday. We went out to Lawrence to visit one of the member families who raise Alpacas. We had a lovely visit and stayed for over 4 hours, including having dinner with them. It was a great time and we learned some things about Alpacas. We had a message from a young man from Mongolia who was taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Sydney and moved to Grafton for a year. He was given our name & phone and wants to come to Church and learn more - HURRAH, FOR ISRAEL. We have contacted him and have our branch mission leader involved. We had Scott over for dinner on Thursday. Sister Haley worked on a paper for Uni for one of the YSA in Sydney. We did more errands and helped with rides. Saturday we took the Mission President and his wife out to the Coombadjha farm and drove along the Mann River scenic route. We also got a nice tour of the farm from Clive and had lunch with the Best family. Sunday the Mission President (Checketts) and his wife talked in Sacrament meeting. Elder Haley helped with Primary and gave the lesson in the 3rd hour of Primary on the Ten Commandments. After Church we headed home and had a visit by the Seminary teacher where we discussed several things that were good & spiritually uplifting.<br />

<br />
Mon 23 Apr - Spent most of the day continuing to settle in. Margaret went to help declutter and Mike worked at the flat. Heaps of bed clothes to wash and dry.<br />
<br />
Tue, 24 Apr - Telstra, the local phone company, installed the phone line that will hopefully some day carry the ADSL signals for internet into the flat. Until then we limp along with what wifi we can get from the Telstra Wifi hot spot. We did some visiting. This week is a slow week as it is the last of the April holidays and includes ANZAC day.<br />
<br />
Wed, 25 Apr - ANZAC day. We went to the parade held downtown this morning. Delivered a chair from the flat to one of the sisters. Mike went to the meetinghouse to work on the blog where the internet was a bit better than at the flat. Now we need to go shopping and get ready for Kayi to come visit for a few days. Kayi is one of the young single adults (YSA) from the Sydney ward that we were assigned to when we first got to Australia.<br />
<br />
Thur, 26 Apr - Kayi is with us and we are glad that she has come up from Sydney to relax and decompress from Uni and her studies. We left her in the flat in the morning while we went to Family History Centre (FHC). Kayi went with us in the evening when we were back at the meetinghouse for FHC and Branch Presidency meeting.<br />
<br />
Fri, 27 Apr - We spent most of the day with Kayi. We went out to Jackadgery area and drove on the gravel road that runs along the Mann River. We then went out to the farm where some of the members work and the Bests live. We walked around their nursery and enjoyed being out in the open air. We stopped at the Jackadgery Caravan Park and had the biggest single ice cream servings we have ever had - yummy.<br />
<br />
Sat, 28 Apr - Again spent most of the day with Kayi. We goofed around the flat in the morning and did some sightseeing in the afternoon. We put her on the train back to Sydney in the evening.<br />
<br />
Sun, 29 Apr - A normal Sunday with meetings and being able to partake of the Sacrament - to renew our covenants with Heavenly Father. We did take a nap in the late afternoon.<br />
<br />
Mon, 30 Apr - 3 May - We are still trying to get back into a normal routine. We have made viists with members and also some relatives of members. Held my monthly meeting with the Primary Presidency. Worked in FHC. We went out to visit the Howards in our old (2 Acacia Street, Junction Hill) neighborhood. We are now at 169 Mary Street, Grafton NSW 2460.<br />
Mike's blood pressure is being tested by Telstra - the local phone company who has provided sub-acceptable internet service to us while at 2 Acacia. We asked them to move the service to our new address and they have tried, but failed miserably. Mike has made arrangements for a new service with Optus and we now need to cancel the Telstra service which will be a battle in itself. And Mike has to do this while being a good disciple of Jesus Christ - a real test for him. Branch Presidency meetings have been moved from Thursday evening to Sunday morning.<br />
<br />
Friday, 4 May - We drove up to Maclean to visit one of the new Relief Society teachers and to visit Joan Hibberd. It is always fun to visit with Joan. We grabbed a quick lunch at one of the takeaway places - I had malt/vinegar coated chicken fingers for the first time. They were really good, so we will go back there again. Then back to Grafton (Maclean is 45 minutes from Grafton) to play taxi driver for one of the sisters and do some shopping ourselves. Mike also stopped by the Telstra store to cancel the internet services. We were served by a lady that had some sympathy to our circumstances and she was nice (and so was Mike). We did not get the service cancelled yet, but we know that the locals are on our side to make it happen without incurring any cancellation fees.<br />
<br />
Sat, 5 May - Cinco de Mayo - Celebrate!!!! We did some errands and then met some of our friends from Sydney (Keith & Anita Thompson) at the Village Green Hotel for lunch. They were up visiting friends in Coffs Harbour and took the time to drive the extra hour up to see us. It was good to be with them for a few hours, and we will see them again in the Blue Mountains when we leave Australia. We sent them on their way and then Mike went over to the meetinghouse to help clean.<br />
<br />
Sun, 6 May - Fast Sunday. It is also the first Sunday where the Branch Presidency holds it's weekly meeting at 0830. The testimonies were good, as always. In the morning before we went to Church, we got a call from Barry Ward telling us that he had called an ambulance and would we please arrange for priesthood holders in Coffs Harbour to meet him at the hospital and give him a blessing - which we did. After our Church meetings and administrative things, we drove to Coffs (about 1 hour away) to check up on Barry. He was just coming out of a CT scan as we arrived. He was in much better shape by then, but still no diagnosis as to what was actually causing the abdominal pain. We talked with him for awhile and then let him get some rest and we drove back home. We will wait for a call from him when he is released from hospital and then go pick him up and take him home. Tomorrow is early morning seminary, so we went to sleep on the early side.<br />

Internet is terrible at the flat. Telstra was to move the ADSL internet service from the house to the flat, but after 2 weeks and me calling them, they were not able to find an ADSL port on the switch serving the flat. We have some kind of wireless wifi for now that they have provided which is worthless for the PC (the blog is on the PC) and half-way ok for mobile phones. I went to the meetinghouse to use the wifi there, but it is not terrible, but not acceptable, so I will need to reboot the ADSL modem here.<br />
<br />
Comments about the District Conference held the week prior to this post - Ministering is not about how many times you checked on people or that you reported your visits, but how much did you love the people you visited - Love and concern will entice you to be more like Jesus Christ and take care of those around you, whether assigned to you or not. Just live the two great commandments and all will be well with your soul - Love the Lord with all your might, mind & strength and love your neighbor as yourself - This is the Law and all other things are appendages to it.<br />
<br />
16 Apr - We picked up Barry at 615am to get him to the hospital by 7am for his cataract surgery. It went well and I was back home by about noon, having dropped Barry back at his home near Halfway Creek. Then nap time and work on unpacking the flat.<br />
<br />
17-18 Apr - lots of unpacking and putting things away. We now have walk space in the flat, but still lots of things in boxes or on chairs. We need to get rid of some of the chairs and folding tables as well.<br />
<br />
19 Apr - Continued working on getting the flat in livable condition. Mike also made a taxi ride out to get Barry for a check up in Grafton. All was well. Then a short shopping trip so Barry had food at home while he continued to recover from the cataract surgery. Then back home to help unpack/store items in the flat.<br />
<br />
20 Apr - More unpacking and storing. Spent the afternoon and evening helping the Prices get ready for their 40th wedding anniversary. Joyce Price was doing HEAPS of baking and we went over to help her, since she had cataract surgery the previous day. We brought some things home to bake and ice.<br />
<br />
21 Apr - The big day of the 40th Anniversary for the prices. We helped with finishing the baking in the morning and pushed the Prices out the door so they could be on time for the Anniversary lunch. We followed shortly after. It was held at the Crown Hotel and a good turnout by family. We had a good time and enjoyed ourselves. Joyce fainted shortly after lunch, so the rest of the Anniversary party was dropped. It was a shame, but she is going ok.<br />
<br />
22 Apr - The flat is in livable condition and we have most everything put away, so we were able to enjoy the Sabbath without doing any "clean up" or "putting away". The Sabbath was a delight.<br />

<br />
Mon, 26 Mar - We headed from Grafton to Newcastle for a Zone meeting to be held on Tuesday. We left around 8 am and arrived in Newcastle around 2 pm. Margaret went to John Hunter hospital to visit with Sarah and Mike went on to the motel to sign in and check email - oh yes, and take a short nap. Around 5:30 Mike picked up Margaret and we went to the Charlestown shopping Centre to catch a bit of dinner. As we were looking at various restaurants a lady (Sister Little) walked up and introduced herself. She and family were out for a daughter's 8th birthday. We found out that Sister Little is the sister-in-law to Esme Little who is one of the RS presidents looking after our member, Sarah, at John Hunter Hospital - small world. We ended up eating at Grill'd Healthy Hamburgers.<br />
<br />
Tue, 27 Mar - The Zone Conference started at 8:30 am and we were there on time - miracles happen every day. President Checketts and Sister Checketts presented the training before lunch. We helped with a little bit of lunch set up - not much to do this time. We met with President Checketts and found that we are to move into the young elder's flat when we move out of our house at the end of April. The elders will be reassigned to another branch/ward while we are still in Grafton. When we leave, the young missionaries will be moved back to Grafton. After lunch we got our flu shots - oh boy. Then climbed back in the car and headed back to Grafton. We got home around 8 pm.<br />
<br />
Wed, 28 Mar - We played taxi driver this morning, taking one of the sisters to Coffs Harbour (1 hour drive) for a medical appointment. While Margaret was with the sister at the doctor's, Mike went to the airport and picked up our friend, Rhonda Crosbie, who flew in from Sydney. Rhonda will be with us over the Easter weekend. After we got home, Margaret & Rhonda ran some errands and delivered somethings to members that Rhonda had brought from Sydney.<br />
<br />
Thur, 29 Mar - This morning we helped with the FHC. At 11 am, Barry Ward came in from Halfway Creek for a Dr appointment and Mike went with him. After the appointment Barry came back to the house for lunch and a visit. After FHC Margaret & Rhonda made a trip to the rail station and booked a ticket for Rhonda. Orange glazed chicken for dinner tonight. This evening is FHC for Margaret & Rhonda, and Presidency meeting for Mike.<br />
<br />
Fri, 30 Mar - Good Friday. All the shops are closed today. Going Platypus hunting today. We drove to Nymboida which has a decent platypus community, but we were not able to get into the area that was recommended by a friend of ours. We will try some other places and also try to get back to Nymboida again. We still have a good time out in the country and met some nice people who tried to help us get to some platypus territory. This evening we went to Maclean and watched some of the preliminary Scottish activities - bag pipes and dancing.<br />
<br />
Sat, 31 Mar - Maclean Scottish Highland Gathering.We got to Maclean around 745 am and found some front row street curb to watch the Highland Gathering parade - 21 bag pipe & drum corps. That was something. Then after the parade we walked over to the show grounds to watch bag pipe & drum corp competition and some of the Scottish Highland sport competition. The bag pipe & drum corps are made up of both men & women. The Highland sport competition is separated between men and women. The sport included - throwing the stone, throwing a stake & ball backward over the shoulder, tossing the pole. And Yes, the women competed in all the sport, just like the men.<br />
<br />
Sun, 1 Apr - April Fools!!!! Fast & Testimony Sunday. After church we ate and then changed clothes so we could go to Brooms Head to see if we could find a Roo on the beach. We did not find any roos on the beach, but we did see plenty in the camp grounds and the field across from the camp grounds.<br />
<br />
Mon, 2 Apr - The young missionaries in Grafton have been transferred to other cities. We are to move into their flat by 15 Apr. The next two weeks will basically be cleaning and moving, but I will try to interject a little bit of what else we do. Rhonda left for the Gold Coast this evening, so now Margaret has to one to talk with except me - poor girl 😋😉<br />
<br />
Tue, 3 Apr - We played taxi and held the Primary activity - just sport today. In between we started to clean out the Elder's flat. This cleaning job is going to be a challenge. We have found food cans dating back to 2012. Margaret found a loaf of french bread in some of the bedding that was stuffed in the hall closet. So much for the missionaries cleaning their flat before they leave for the next town. Ah well, what can you expect from 18-20 year olds - some cleanliness, is what I can expect 😖😕😛😪😢<br />
<br />
Wed, 4 Apr - Last day this week for seminary - that is good as getting up at 5 am and then having to clean the elder's flat all day is a bummer. We are quickly filling the red (trash), yellow (recycle) and green (organic/compostable/food) bins at the flat. We are to put out the bins tonight as the rubbish man comes by tomorrow. I wonder if we are ever going to get the flat clean. We did have some help in cleaning today from Amber - she is a good cleaner.<br />
<br />
Thur, 5 Apr - We helped with FHC from 10-12 and 630-830pm today. It was a nice break from cleaning. Scott came over for dinner tonight. Oh, and Beth was sick so we had to run Young Women. We played scriptionary and the girls really got into the game of drawing things from the scriptures. They did a really good job of thinking of many scriptures and drawing the action/thought of the scripture.<br />
<br />
Fri, 6 Apr - Today was moving day. That is, we moved all the things from the flat to the storage area - a part of the shed in the back of President Norman's property. Garry Price brought his Ute and furniture dolly, and the two of us moved the fridge, washing machine, dryer, and all kinds of other stuff.<br />
<br />
Sat, 7 Apr - We had to run the videos of General Conference today, so we did not get much cleaning done today. Watching General Conference was a good thing to do, and get pumped up spiritually.<br />
<br />
Sun, 8 Apr - We watched the Sunday sessions of General Conference today. Then home and relaxed. We went over to Peter & Lois's house (next door) and chatted with them for a few hours. It was great to learn more about them. We are very sorry that we have to leave all of our neighbors, as they are all such nice people and have been very kind to us.<br />
<br />
Mon, 9 Apr - Seminary is first thing of the day. Then home for a quick breakfast. Our plans are to finish cleaning the flat by 1 pm. We almost made it - it was about 1:15 pm when we finished. We did the final vacuuming and then mopped all the floors and a final swipe over all the closet shelves. We contacted the landlord and submitted repair requests for a leaky shower and oven door that does not close. They did get a plumber out around noon to fix the shower - thank goodness as the shower was really leaking badly and splashing water all over the bathroom floor. We are not sure when the oven will get fixed, but we hope soon. I guess that Mike will have to rattle a few cages this week to get this taken care of. The afternoon we started packing up things at the house. We quit sometime in the evening and had dinner. Then took a break - Mike worked on taxes and the blog while Margaret worked on the binding of the table runner. She has one side sewn on by machine and is working on the other side which has to be done by hand. This is her way of relaxing and de-stressing. Sarah gave birth to Rachel today.<br />
<br />
Tue, 10 Apr - Seminary is the starting point. Then back home for breakfast and start packing some more of the house. We have to have everything packed up today so that we can start to move on Wednesday. The plan is to move all the things that will go into storage Wednesday, and then move all the things to be put into the flat on Thursday. We were able to get a lot packed and sorted. We have all the things from Brother Beaton packed and much of the house things that we do not need immediately. Mike is getting tired of boxing up things.<br />
<br />
Wed, 11 Apr - Seminary - Sister & Elder Haley were asked to participate in the lesson today, so we were seminary students. Then back home for breakfast and be ready for the moving team at 10 am. We mainly moved things to storage and some things to the flat. Sister Haley went to hospital to visit Sarah & Rachel. After the move, we worked more on packing the rest of the house for the final move on Thursday. We are moving our bed and dressers so I guess this is really for real.<br />
<br />
Thur, 12 Apr - We were going to move to the Elder's flat today, but have put it off for one more day since we did not have anyone to help move the final items.<br />
<br />
Fri, 13 Apr - Friday the 13th. Not a bad day for the 13th. We finished moving the last of the items (like our bed) today. All is set up and we are sleeping here tonight.<br />
<br />
Sat, 14 Apr - Made our way around all the "stuff" that is in the flat. Headed to Coffs Harbour for District Conference. We are staying in Coffs for the night and Sunday night as well. The Conference was good. We learned heaps about Ministering and what is expected. We also heard several talks on being one with each other in the District or Branch (Unity).<br />
<br />
Sun, 15 Apr - District Conference continued and the Sunday talks were really good. Both Margaret and Mike took heaps of notes. We took a walk along the beach in the afternoon. We met up with Brent, Katie, Thomas & Charlotte Jeffree on the beach, as they stopped by on their way home from the Commonwealth Games in Brisbane. Tomorrow we get up at 4 am to pick up Barry Ward and take him to Grafton for cataract surgery.<br />

<br />
Mon, 19 Mar - Seminary is first thing on the agenda. Sister Haley went to declutter some more today. Elder Haley met with the new branch building rep and helped get some things set up for him. Mike called the realtor to find out when we will have to vacate the house 😢😬 Elder Haley also worked on some welfare issues that needed to be taken care of. We picked up the elders and drove out to the Jones at Flaggy Creek for dinner this evening.<br />
We are beginning to understand and know how the early Mormons felt. We had a good life in Sydney and then moved to a wonderful house in Grafton. Now we are asked to pack up all our things in the nice house, give most of them away and move into a much smaller place. Kind of like the Saints that moved from New York to Kirtland; set up a farm or house and have a nice life going only to be asked to move to Indepence, Missouri. How much is the Lord going to ask of us, but I am glad we are in Grafton and moving and not in the same situation as the early Saints. We will do what is asked of us, and Love it, knowing it is what is best and well worth the small trial.<br />
<br />
Tue, 20 Mar - Seminary - rise & shine. Elder Haley walked & exercised during the first half of Seminary. Then he tried fixing some photoelectric/motion detection lights that cover the parking lot - he was unsuccessful. Contacted the local propane gas company to see if they would take an EFT from the Church to pay an account for one of the members, but they do not, so we have to use BillPay which the Church does not support. That means Haleys will use BPay from their account to pay the gas bill and then get reimbursed by the Branch Welfare account. Worked on an inventory of all the furnishings in the house for the Mission President, so he can decide where all the items will go or be sold. Stopped by Hanks Kitchen to pick up the reward for our Seminary student - we give her a baked good from Hank's each Wednesday as a reward for "hanging in there" and coming to Seminary. Elder Haley read the Primary section of Handbook 2 from the Church so he was prepared for his first monthly meeting with the Primary President tonight. We went to our afternoon Primary activity and played 4 square and cricket today. Some of the kids that normally come over did not because they have "footy" (rugby) practice on Tuesday afternoons. Met with the Primary President and reviewed the Primary Sunday schedule.<br />
<br />
Wed, 21 Mar - It sure is dark at 0500 am. Day light savings time will make the clocks change at the end of the month and that will bring a little sunshine into our lives a bit sooner. Mike talked with his Mum this morning - thank you for the video chat technology. Went on a food buying errand as we have 6 young missionaries coming for dinner tonight. Elder Haley went over to the Girl Guides to pay the camp out fees this past weekend, and to return the building keys. Ah yes, now home and have shoes off and relaxing for a few hours - er, I mean minutes. The latest drama has just occurred. A call from a sister who does not receive her government payment for a few more days, and needs a few things for her illness. There sure seem to be a lot of people on government help here. Now back home and getting ready to feed the bottomless stomachs of the 6 elders. We have our elders, the district elders and the Zone leaders here this week for District Training Meeting (DTM). Our food budget just got wiped out for the next 3 weeks 😆😏<br />
<br />
Thurs, 22 Mar - No Seminary this morning, but Mike did get up to walk and work with his weights while walking. We are at Family History Centre (FHC) in the morning from 10-12. Mike usually works on other things in the building during this time, such as the trash and vacuums the upstairs. Sister Haley played taxi driver. We called a member who lives in Yamba about coming to visit, but this week does not look good. Then back to the meetinghouse in the evening for FHC and Branch Presidency meeting.<br />
<br />
Fri, 23 Mar - Cleaned the meetinghouse in the morning and got a call from Lydia Mathieson in Yamba. She invited us for lunch and a visit. We headed her way around 11 am and got there just after 12 noon. We met her and her husband, Fraser Mathieson, at their place and had a lovely 5 hour visit with them. Both are from South Africa and Rhodesia. Fraser is the grandfather of Kate Mathieson who will be marrying Richard Difford in August in the Brisbane temple.<br />
<br />
Sat, 24 Mar - We helped with the final cleaning of the Zaffino's rental home. They are moving back to the Gold Coast. Elder Haley met with one of the sisters in the branch later in the afternoon.<br />
<br />
Sun, 25 Mar - Normal Church meetings before and after the 3 hour block of meetings. Sister Haley and Elder Haley also visited with some of the members later in the day.<br />
<br />

<br />
Monday, 12 Mar - Oh my, it was early this morning when we got up for Seminary. It was nice to have a few days off before the alarm so rudely awakened us. 😆😃 Then back home for breakfast. Sister Haley was then taken to the declutter centre for the morning. Elder Haley ran and errand and then worked on some welfare things for one of the member families. He also spent some time finishing up the blog from last week. Now it is time to change out of white shirt and use the whipper snipper (weed eater) on the edge of the yard. oh, yes, Elder Haley did stop by Hanks to find out when they delivered new, fresh goods in the morning (and picked up an apple slice to reward himself for checking on the delivery times 😋 )<br />
<br />
Tue, 13 Mar - Picked up some TVs from one of the sisters and took over to the recycle tip. Made hospital visit. Played games at the Primary activity. We were invited over to the Normans for dinner along with the elders and Scott. Sister Haley & Elder Haley stayed after the meal and washed the dishes while Beth Norman went to her "having a baby" class.<br />
<br />
Wed, 14 Mar - Last day of seminary this week. Ran errands. We did meet with the new owner of the house and asked him to consider letting us stay until August. He said he would talk it over with his family and get back to us on Friday. We had Scott over for dinner since there was no DTM tonight.<br />
<br />
Thur, 15 Mar - Lots of errands and drama with some of the members. We worked on getting a gas bill from one of the members and processing it through the welfare system. We were at the FHC from 10-12 and then 630-830pm. Elder Haley also attended Branch Presidency meeting. Lots of stuff to keep one busy, but nothing super extraordinary.<br />
<br />
Friday, 16 Mar - Cleaned the meetinghouse in the morning. We did get a call from the new owner and he was not able to give us any extension on staying in the house, so we will have to move to someplace in the next45-60 days. What a bummer. Went to the Clock Tower Hotel to celebrate Dorothy Ledwidge's birthday - she turned 86 today. Finished buying marshmallows for the Branch camp out that starts tonight. We picked up Scott Howard and Sister Stiller at 4pm and then drove out to Magpie Park which is real near Jackadgery and the Mann River. We got there around 5 pm and set up our gear in the open sleeping dorm. We had about 15 or so sleeping in the roon, plus a few others in one of the other room. Peter Arnull was the chef for the weekend - he did a great job. We had a camp fire later in the evening and roasted marshmallows and made s'mores. We sang some Aussie songs and just relaxed around the fire.<br />
<br />
Sat, 17 Mar - Happy St. Patty's Day. After breakfast we cleaned up and packed our bags. Then we headed out in 2 groups - one for fishing and one for swimming & kayaking. We went with Joyce Wallbank on the fishing expedition. Joyce had her fishing pole and cast it out into the river and then she decided to go swimming up stream of the fishing pole. She badgered Elder Haley until he relented and went in for a swim as well - actually more of a get totally wet and enjoy the cool water of the Mann River. Sister Haley & Stiller stayed on the shore. Around noon we headed back up to the caravan park and had HUGE ice cream cones. Then back to Magpie Park to pick up our gear, do the final lock up and head for home. We dropped off Sister Stiller and Scott, and then to our place. We showered and it was nice to be cleaned up. We did have to do some grocery shopping and then run to one of the motels in South Grafton to pick up some clothes that one of the District Presidency and left by mistake.<br />
<br />
Sun, 18 Mar - President Norman was crook, so he asked me to conduct the meeting today at Church. After the 3 hour block, we held a linger longer to finish off the food that we had left from the camp out. Then home and work on family history until dinner time. Mike warmed up dinner while Margaret continued to work on family history. We did get a call from President Checketts, Mission President, and were told that we might move into the elder's flat and stay there until we leave Grafton. The elders would be moved to a different town for the interim. We shall see how all this goes over the next week or so. Never a dull moment in the mission field.<br />

<br />
Monday, 5 Mar - Seminary is the first thing to get our attention this morning. My 0500 comes quickly and quite early in the day. After Seminary this morning Sister Haley went decluttering. Elder Haley stayed home to make sure all was ship-shape for the "lookers" that will come this afternoon to see the house, since it is now on the market. Also, Elder Haley did not cut the grass low enough for the declutter sister, so he has to lay low for a bit. This afternoon the real estate agent brought 2 different "lookers" to the house. Tonight I received a phone call from the elders in Coffs Harbour. They told me that the vinly flooring in their kitchen had been repaired. This repair has taken me from mid-December 2017 until 5 March 2018 to get fixed - no big deal. There had been a rip in the vinyl and a piece missing, so it was fixed by a local flooring company. They flooring company had to move the fridge to get a piece of the vinyl to fill in the hole in the middle of the floor, but was not able to move the fridge back in place until after the glue had dried, so they asked the elders to do that for them later in the day. When the elders moved the fridge back into place, they tore the vinyl in a new place 😭😬😵<br />
<br />
Tuesday, 6 March - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RYAN (our oldest child). Seminary this morning. Elder Haley worked on cleaning up the storage room during seminary. I called the flooring company today and told them my sad story about the vinyl being torn again - they could not believe it, but said they would organise a repair party. I asked them to lock the elders in the bathroom until the work was done and the fridge was back in place. Then when we got home, Margaret took a nap and Mike ran errands in town. Getting ready for the Primary activity. The leader sent a text message that it is raining out in the country and the creeks are flooding so she will not be able to make it in today. Scott came over for dinner and we had pulled pork sandwiches, roasted pumpkin with maple syrup & brown sugar - comfort food, if there ever was such a thing. We received a call that the house we are living in has been sold to a person who wants to live in it. We now have to see what can be done to negotiate with him to allow us to stay until August when we head back to the USA.<br />
<br />
Wed, 7 Mar - Seminary - nice and early (well, early anyway). Mike talked with his mum via Skype - the technology and permission of the Church to use the technology for senior missionaries is wonderful. Visits and taxi driving. Took out the rubbish for the sister in the hospital in Newcastle. We held DTM tonight and had just the Grafton Elders over for dinner - hamburgers, etc.<br />
<br />
Thur, 8 Mar - A day off from seminary, so Mike took his early morning walk & weights. Family History Centre (FHC) from 10-12. Margaret worked in the FHC and Mike did clean up and other things in the meetinghouse. We had a late Birthday lunch for Mike at the Village Green Hotel - Chicken schnitzel for Mike and salmon for Margaret. Well worth the visit and we will have to go back once we get enough room in our bellies for additional food. Branch Presidency meeting and FHC for us in the evening. Sister Jones should be posting the FHC notices up around town, so hopefully we will start to get some more business in the FHC.<br />
<br />
Fri, 9 Mar - Mike helped clean the meetinghouse. We had building inspectors come by at 10 am to check out the house for the new buyer. Margaret baked cupcakes for the RS bday activity/baby shower to be held on Saturday. Mike check with the locksmith about some keys for the FHC and found out how to take some of the locks off that we did not have keys for - and did not need to lock up the files anyway.<br />
<br />
Sat, 10 Mar - Mike mowed the yard while Margaret went into town to do some shopping for the baby shower. The baby shower was in the afternoon and went quite well. Margaret then worked some more on the table runner for Sister Cox and was able to get the last 2 pieces of fabric sown on. Pictures of the not yet finished table runner are below.<br />
<br />
Sun, 11 Mar - We had President and Sister Alfred in for speakers in Sacrament meeting today. It is always nice to have them in Grafton. The branch held a potluck luncheon after the meetings. Lots of food. We had a new family, Paewai from NZ, move in, or start to move in today. They will actually move into their home, south of Grafton, next weekend. Immediately after the luncheon, we went with Clive Best to administer blessings to one of our members in South Grafton and to administer a blessing to the husband of one of our members. Later, we (Margaret & Mike) visited with one of our neighbor families, the Howards, and borrowed a sleeping bag from them for the branch campout next weekend. We learned that Judy Howard has walked parts of the Camino de Santiago trail in Spain. She has walked over 1,000 km of it.<br />

Mon, 19 Feb - ok, it is early and not so bright as we head out to seminary at 0615 am. But the learning and opportunity to serve is a good thing. This afternoon we went to the South Grafton fabric store and cut out the pieces for the table runner that Sister Haley is making for Sister Cox. Sister Cox has been making table runners for all the senior missionaries that leave the mission over the 2 years that she and Elder Cox have been here; however, she does not have one for herself - so Sister Haley is making her one. Mike also did some follow up with some of the tradesmen in Coffs Harbour as he is trying to get some bids on some repair work in the young missionaries flat there.<br />
<br />
Tue, 20 Feb - Just lots of errands to run and people to visit. We had to get a care package together for the pregnant sister in Newcastle and drop the package off at the carers office. Many/most people here in Australia that are on welfare and have some sort of disability have a carer who helps them with appointments, etc. There seem to be heaps of organisations that do this kind of caring (hence the word carer) for a fee that is paid for partially by the person, but mostly by the government. We also went out to visit with Joyce Wallbank. She lives in an area called Lanitza which is about 45 minutes from our home and is the middle of farmland and woods. There is a petrol station not too far from her house and that is all there is to Lanitza. Primary activity is this afternoon and it is Faith in God this week. This is transfer week, so our elders have gone to Sydney. Elder Corpany is being transferred to Hyde Park YSA ward. Elder Lankford will pick up a new elder and train him for 12 weeks. We will find out who the new elder is this coming Friday (Elder Palmer from Idaho is the new elder).<br />
<br />
Wed, 21 Feb - Seminary is every Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday for now. Thursdays will hopefully come back into play once Shellie is back into town and feeling well enough to attend and/or her work is not scheduled for that time. Talked with Mike's mum on Skype - the technology is wonderful and we are thankful that the Church allows us to call her each week to check up on her - or so she can check up on us !!!! We had Scott over for dinner tonight.<br />
<br />
Thur, 22 Feb - Ran errands and played taxi in the morning. Went to Maclean for a dentist appointment. While in Maclean we stopped and visited with Joan Hibberd. We always have a good time when we visit her in the Aged Care facility there in Maclean - she has such a great sense of humor. The good news is that one of her granddaughters has moved back to Maclean so she (Joan) is able to come to sacrament meeting once a month now. That is super. Branch presidency meeting tonight and also begin the Family History Centre (FHC). It has been some time since the branch has had the FHC open. Elaine Jones was called as the FHC director and she got a call the day after she was sustained asking what time the FHC is open - quite a shock to her. Any way the FHC is now open on Thursdays from 10-12noon and 6:30-8:30pm. We are working on advertising that can be placed in town so people know we are back in business. Thursdays evenings will be busy at the meetinghouse, what with YM and YW, as well as the FHC.<br />
<br />
Friday, 23 Feb - Spent more time on the phone chasing up one of the tradesman for the Coffs Elder's flat repair work. Helped the Zaffinos clean the meetinghouse. Picked up a green tote for the kitchen to put all the food scraps in. Here in Grafton we have 3 rubbish bins - Green for food scraps and anything that was living, Yellow for recycle and Red for all other rubbish. The goal is to not have anything in the Red bin someday. Called the ranger at Magpie Park to confirm that the branch has the camp allocated to us for the 16/17 March campout. The camp is run by the Girl Guides of Australia and is located near Jackadgery near the Mann River. The campout should be fun. Ran over to see Bobbi Toetoe before she leaves for Sydney and to wish her a happy 90th birthday. On the way home, we saw some calves out near the highway, pretty close to Junction Hill. We turned around and came back on them. They ran down a driveway, so we followed in the car to make sure they made it all the way back to the house. Then we checked with the people in the house about the calves and explained that they had been out near the highway and could have been roadkill. We helped the people herd the calves back into the field and they noticed where the fencing was a bit loose and probably where the calves broke loose. Chalk one up for a good turn for the day. As President Monson is quoted as saying - I guess we did some good today.<br />
<br />
Sat, 24 Feb - Still no birthday lunch at the Village Green. More errands and chasing up some items for the branch. Visited with Alicia Mewis who is the granddaughter of Joan Hibberd. We also visited with Levera & Barry Cave in South Grafton. Margaret spent time with Levera and I visited with Barry.<br />
<br />
Sun, 25 Feb - Normal branch meeting in the morning before the normal Sunday services meetings. Elder Haley is still teaching the youth Sunday School, but a Sunday School teacher has been called, so he will teach for 2 more Sundays and then retire. It has been good for Elder Haley to prepare for the classes - he has learned more than the kids. The kids do well and teaching in the Saviour's way really gets them to participate heaps - and they really do know a lot about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Sister Haley taught the RS lesson today - since it is the 4th Sunday the discussion topic is the Sabbath and she focused on Testimony & bearing of one's testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.<br />
<br />
Mon, 26 Feb - Oh, getting up early for seminary is challenging after a few days off, but good for the soul and body. Talked with our son, Ryan, this morning. He and Marisol are in Oaxaca, Mexico and enjoying some down time before heading for New York. Mike did some yard work and Margaret went off to declutter the sister's house. In the afternoon, we went to watch Rain Best play basketball at one of the community centres. He arrived late so he was not able to play with kids his age (10-11), so he ended up playing ball with the high school kids - he was 1/2 of their height. Everyone was good and the game was for fun - and they had heaps of fun and a good time. Later in the evening Margaret had a RS presidency meeting.<br />
<br />
Tue, 27 Feb - The real estate company came out to take photos of the house - inside and out. The owners are selling the house. So we hope that an investor will buy it and let us stay until our mission is over on 14 August 2018. We really do not want to pack up the house and move it. We held the primary activity with the elders today. We played cricket in the back yard of the meetinghouse. The neighbor kids really like to come over for the play date (and the food). We had homemade choc chip cookies, fruit and ice pops - what more could one ask for.<br />
<br />
Wed, 28 Feb - Ran errands, played taxi and bought HEAPS of food. The elders from Grafton and Coffs are at our home for dinner and DTM tonight. FOUR elders eat HEAPS of food. We had tacos tonight. Elder Palmer and & Elder Lankford from Grafton. Elder Ta'ala & Shortland from Coffs. The lesson by Elder Ta'ala was really good and well presented - it was on Obedience. Elder Haley gave a short overview of the white handbook - the Missionary Handbook with the guidelines and rules for the missionaries. Choc chip cookies and ice cream for dessert. Boy, we are living high on the hog here in Grafton. Turned in our monthly mileage to Carlingford transportation.<br />
<br />
Thurs, 1 Mar - A new month. Whew, where did February go? We helped Sister Jones with the FHC at 10-12 and 630-830 pm today. We did have a "customer" during the 10-12 noon period. Elder Haley cleaned the upstairs and did some other branch work during the morning FHC opening. YM met tonight, but the YW were not able to meet since the YW President was crook (that means sick). Elder Haley spent most of the evening reviewing member records and sending corrections to the branch clerk.<br />
<br />
Fri, 2 Mar - Mike got his walk/exercise in this morning and then went to the meetinghouse to help clean. Margaret went for a walk while he was at the meetinghouse. Sister Haley is off playing taxi and holding hands of one of the sisters this morning. Elder Haley is trying to get the Blog caught up to date. Elder Haley did buy an apple slice and caramel/cream tart at Hanks on his way home from cleaning the meetinghouse, so we both had a mid-morning snack before Sister Haley took off for her morning errand of mercy. This afternoon we will do some visiting in South Grafton and play taxi driver. If there is time, we may try to make a visit to one of the members living up north of us a bit further on the Summerland Way or B91 highway (that is the name of the highway next to our home).<br />
<br />
Sat, 3 Mar - Margaret played taxi driver some in the morning and also sewed on the table runner. Mike worked on taxes in the morning. After lunch we took a drive out to Halfway Creek (45-60 minutes from our home) to visit Barry Ward, Honey and Midnight. We really like going out there, but we need to make sure we do not wear good clothes as Honey & Midnight jump all over us. Or when they chase the ball they then go into the waterhole to cool off and then come up to jump on our laps. Honey is a Kelpie, cattle dog, and Midnight, a large black Labrador dog. Loveable, but you definitely do not wear your nylon hose or double knit slacks 😀😉 We usually spend 2-3 hours visiting with them and then head back home. We administer sacrament to Barry when we are out there, as he is not able to make it into Sunday Sacrament meeting very often. When we got home we worked on Sunday lessons and Mike fixed an Indian dinner - passable, but not really worth mentioning.<br />
<br />
Sun, 4 Mar - Today was Fast & Testimony meeting. We only had 22 in attendance today, but the testimonies took up the entire meeting - that was surprising to me. We asked Scott Howard to take a picture of us while we were all dressed up. We spent a fair amount of time talking with Beth Norman (President Norman's wife) and then Elder Haley helped with the tithing deposits. Then home and able to take off the tie and shoes - a whole lot more comfortable now. More Indian food tonight and then work some more on Church administrative things. It is now 5 pm, so it really is time for dinner. bon appetit.<br />

An animal ramp on the highway side of the animal fence. The thought is that if a Roo or other animal gets on the highway or at least the highway of the fence, that they will try to get through the fence and sooner or later they will come across the dirt covered ramp and climb up it until they can jump to the far side and get back to nature</div>

Maybe that is a blessing for those who look at the blog.<br />
<br />
Monday, 5 Feb - It was nice to have a few days off and be able to sleep in a bit. Seminary today was good. We doubled the seminary attendance today - we now have 2 seminary students. That is good, as it is always good if more than 1 student is in the class. Then home work on some personal stuff and administrative things for Church. This afternoon we went visiting and playing taxi.<br />
<br />
Tues, 6 Feb - the exciting thing today was that one of the sisters in the branch was evacuated by emergency plane to Newcastle as she was experiencing contractions, but she still has 3 months to go before the baby is full term. We will be in Newcastle this Thursday and will check in with her. The other, not quite as exciting, thing today was that Mike used his fruit picker with one of the members to pick mangoes from some of the trees down the road from our house. Then there were all the normal things like Primary activity day<br />
<br />
Wed, 7 Feb - Another trip to Coffs Harbour for some medical checkups for one of the sisters. As mentioned earlier it is about 1 1/2 hours one way to Coffs from our home. District Training Meeting (DTM) tonight and dinner for the missionaries before DTM.<br />
<br />
Thur, 8 Feb - Seminary and then leave for Newcastle which is a 6 hour drive. We have a Missionary Zone Conference on Friday. We stopped by the John Hunter hospital and visited the sister who is expecting. She is doing well and the hospital is trying to help her keep the baby in for as long as she can. The hospital staff is really quite kind. The Church sisters in Newcastle have rallied round and have visited the sister and are taking SUPER good care of her. God bless the Relief Society (RS).<br />
<br />
Fri, 9 Feb - we attended the morning part of the Zone Conference and then Mike took Margaret to the hospital so she could spend time with the pregnant sister. Mike went back to the zone meetings. The Book of Mormon musical is coming to Sydney from Melbourne and so we were being instructed on how to behave and take advantage of the additional attention this would bring to the Church. The musical is one of the most highly attended musicals in history so there is a lot of interest in the real thing as well. Mike picked up Margaret in the afternoon and we headed back to Grafton as we had a building clean up on Saturday.<br />
<br />
Sat, 10 Feb - We helped do a deep clean of the meetinghouse this morning for a few hours. Then a nap to recover from the trip and lack of sleep. We took a few hours off and went to see "Darkest Hour", a movie about Winston Churchill and his initial decision to NOT negotiate peace with Hitler. It included the Dunkirk small boat rescue. Interestingly, it included a phone call between Churchill and Roosevelt in which they discussed the USA taking planes near the border of Canada for the UK to pick up and pull across the border into Canada and then take back to the UK. Mike's Aunt Edy was one of the people to fly the planes to the border and then walk away from the plane. Wowee - real history in the making in the Whinery family.<br />
<br />
Sun, 11 Feb - A special Area broadcast for the New Zealand and Australia saints out of Salt Lake City. We heard from some of the 70, Sister Bonnie Oscarson and Elder Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.<br />
<br />
Mon, 12 Feb - Seminary (every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday) at 0630. Then Margaret went to help with the Monday declutter. Mike worked around the house and in the yard, and then ran some other errands.<br />
<br />
Tue, 13 Feb - A normal day with seminary, Primary activity, plus any other things that always seem to popup unexpectedly. We had Scott over for dinner.<br />
<br />
Wed, 14 Feb - Mike's birthday, but nothing special happened -other than he is still alive and kicking. We did a bit of celebration during dinner prior to DTM - there was an apple/sultana pie for the birthday pie. All 4 elders were in Grafton for DTM, so that was really nice. Oh yes, Elder Haley gave a driving test to one of the Elders which had no special exciting moments - thank goodness.<br />
<br />
Thurs, 15 Feb - A normal Thursday. Elder Haley did have to wrestle with the real estate agent for the Coffs Harbour elders a bit. This is getting to be a weekly thing as we try to get some compromising done by the agent - a challenge to Elder Haley's patience.<br />
<br />
Friday, 16 Feb - Elder Haley helped with the weekly clean up prior to Sunday - something he does each Friday morning. Sister Haley went out to do some visiting of sisters. We then made several visits together in the afternoon and other errands and Church related visits. There are a number of small things that need to be done for the branch each week, but they are different each week and each day - but it has to be done.<br />
<br />
Sat, 17 Feb - the sisters in the branch held a RS activity in Maclean. They drove up and visited the Ferry Park Gallery which houses heaps of hand made items. Then off to the Maclean park along the Clarence river for a picnic lunch. After lunch some of the sisters visited with Joan in the nursing home and that was really appreciated by Joan. Poor Mike stayed home and worked around the house, in the yard and worked on his mum's US federal taxes. Oh yes, Mike was able to walk to the local Hanks Kitchen and get himself a steak & bacon pie for lunch. I guess he did ok for himself.<br />
<br />
Sun, 18 Feb - We had President & Sister Denley from the District in for meetings today. They were the main speakers. We held a pot luck luncheon afterwards. Then home working on various branch items and the blog.<br />
<br />
There are not many pictures from the past 2 weeks, but here is what we have. More should have been taken, but we forgot to take our cameras out and take the pictures.<br />

<br />
Monday, 29 Jan - It is decluttering day for Sister Haley. Elder Haley installed a hose holder at the sister's house. Then Elder Haley checked in with the seminary teacher and ran a few errands. Then home to start work on USA 2017 taxes since he had a spare hour. Then worked on the blog to get it caught up. Margaret is squaring up the various fabric lengths for the table runner. We just got one of our daily drama calls, so Sister Haley is off to the hospital to hold a hand and keep anxiety down to a low pitch. We have been promised rain today, but so far all we have gotten are clouds. The wind is really blowing today, but it blows quite vigorously most days here in Junction Hill.<br />
<br />
Tuesday, 30 Jan - 0500 comes early. Today is the first day of seminary and we are to be there to help lend moral support. Actually we had to cancel the seminary class today because the one & only seminary student had a migrain, so we will try again tomorrow. We did start the weekly Primary activity today at 3:30 pm. Several of the neighborhood kids came, so we are off to a decent start for the new year.<br />
<br />
Wednesday, 31 Jan - 0500 did come again today. Seminary starts at 0630. We get up, shower and put a little food into our stomachs and head out for Church at 0600. Seminary goes from 0630 to 0730. Then we went home and ate a bit more, so we had a full breakfast. Then Mike called his mum on Skype. Margaret played taxi driver again today. We had the Grafton missionaries in for dinner and both the Grafton & Coffs missionaries for DTM at our home. We did find some ice cream in the freezer for dessert after DTM. We had to report the odometer reading on the car since it was the last day of the month - we report our kms at the end of each month since we are only allocated a certain number of kms per month on the car.<br />
<br />
Thursday, 1 Feb - Seminary again. The seminary class runs Monday - Thursday. We talked with one of our children when we got home. We reported our monthly fire alarm inspection on the Church website. We held the Branch Presidency meeting early and at our home today, since the President had to make a run to Coffs later that evening.<br />
<br />
Friday, 2 Feb - Sleep in day. No seminary, so Mike slept in 45 minutes and Margaret more (not saying how much more). We had some errands and taxi driving to do in the morning and then picked up the RS President at 1 pm and headed for Brisbane. The Branch has a temple trip this weekend at the Brisbane temple. Margaret & I stayed with our friends from Newbury Park, Bob & Susan Errington, who are serving in the Brisbane Mission Offices. It was really good to see them and catch up on what they are doing there.It rained all the way up to Brisbane.<br />
<br />
Saturday, 3 Feb - We attended the temple in the morning, doing an endowment session and then some sealings of husband/wife and children to parents. We had lunch after the sessions and then headed back to Grafton about 1 pm. It rained from Brisbane until we got to Maclean. We stopped in Maclean and checked out some of the areas there that the RS want to use for a picnic for the sisters on 17 Feb. There are some nice spots and some pretty scenery.<br />
<br />
Sunday, 4 Feb - Fast Sunday. It was a good meeting and the testimonies were good. We worked on several Church projects and then spent the rest of the day at home. <br />

Looking over the mighty Clarence River from a hill top in Maclean. The river curves to the right and then (if you look closely) you will see it curving back to the left in the mid-section of the photo. The river is actually flowing north at this point, so the water is moving from the left to the right of the picture. The river will reach the ocean up north a bit at Iluka</div>

<br />
Monday, 22 Jan - It is declutter day for Margaret at one of the sister's homes. Mike ran some errands and then got back in time to help defrost a freezer and fix the outside water hose. Mike took in one of the whipper snippers (weed eater or trimmer for the yanks) to the lawn repair shop to see if it was repairable. Then later that evening we played taxi and took one of the sisters to the little Coles supermarket to buy some groceries.<br />
<br />
Tuesday, 23 Jan -We prepared to go out on errands, etc. this morning. Before we left, we found that the power was out - the energy company was doing some work on the transformer that feeds our neighborhood. We finished our breakfast, read our scriptures and then manually opened the garage door so we could get the car out. Then off to our errands. Sister Haley went to a doctor's appointment with one of the sisters. Elder Haley ran some donations to the local Vinnies Op shop and picked up the whipper snipper that was declared non-salvageable by the repair shop. Then home for lunch and then back to pick up Margaret from the doctor's office. We then went to the branch meeting house for a meeting with the area CES person on seminary. The branch's new seminary teacher was there and all 3 of us were instructed on the seminary program for 2018. After a few hours of training, we all left and went home. The Haleys went back to shuffling fabric to get the "right" sequence of the fabric for the table runner. Mike is going blind looking at changes. Margaret is baking Australian Kent pumpkin (squash to the yanks) so that she can make a pumpkin pie to share with Steve Cole and his wife this coming Saturday. Steve is a local minister at the Hub/Baptist Church here in Grafton. Steve has been to the US&A and really likes pumpkin pie, so we are taking one to him as a friend offering.<br />
<br />
Wednesday, 24 Jan - This morning Mike had is weekly Skype call with his mum. Margaret played taxi about the same time. Then if was prepare for the elder's dinner time as we had to go shopping for some of the food for the feed tonight. DTM will be conducted by the Zone leaders, so we will have DTM at 6pm and then have dinner afterwards.<br />
<br />
Thursday, 25 Jan - We played taxi driver today and visited with one of our neighbors. The husband is going in for cancer surgery next week. It will be pretty major stuff so we want to keep in touch with his wife. Mike attended branch presidency meeting in the evening. Pretty much a ho hum day with things to do, but no real excitement (thank goodness as we do get plenty of drama some days). We did meet with the new seminary teacher and discussed the upcoming start of seminary.<br />
<br />
Friday, 26 Jan - AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE OI OI OI Today is Australia Day. No fireworks up here in the sticks, so we had a quiet day. Mike did go out with his new fruit picker and pole and pick some more mangoes off of the neighborhood trees that are along the side of the road and are on public land. No picnics or bbq. Just did things around the house and tried to lay low. In the evening, we did have to escort one of the sisters home as the power had been out in her neighborhood and there was a suspected murder or altercation (it was hard for us to get the true story) near here home. So she did not want to go back home without some back-up - which ended up as us. We followed her home and checked out the property and house for any intruders - we found none, thankfully. Margaret made a pumpkin pie that we are to share tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Saturday, 27 Jan - We talked with one of our daughters and grandson on Viber. It was nice to see them and talk with them. We played taxi again today for one of the sisters. In the early evening we visited one of the baptist ministers, his wife and family and had pumpkin pie. We had a good time and got to know them a bit and hopefully they got to know us too. We think we have new friends in the Christian community and that is good. I have some questions that I would like his opinion on, so we hope to meet again over the next few weeks.<br />
<br />
Sunday, 28 Jan - A busy day at Church. Elder Haley conducted Sacrament meeting, taught the YM/YW Sunday school lesson and conducted the discussion in Priesthood during the 3rd hour. Sister Haley led the discussion in Relief Society (RS) during 3rd hour and made some visits and a meeting with the RS president after the 3 hour Church block of meetings. Then we had the drama of the day and made a few stops at members houses to help with the dramas of the day. Then home for dinner and relax a bit.<br />
