Above is view from our flat onto Hyde Park in downtown Sydney.  We are a 5 minute walk from the YSA meeting house.

View from Hyde Park on to the YSA & family ward meeting house - the white building in the background. Both wards meet on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the building.
Both pictures are from the couple we are replacing.
For the walkers/joggers - Hyde Park is about 1 mile in circumference and will be used by us for our morning exercise.

We have been notified that we will be assigned to the Young Single Adult (YSA) ward.  The ward meets at the Hyde Park meeting house in downtown (city business district or CBD) Sydney.  Our flat (apartment) will be about a 5 minute walk from the meeting house.
As a side note - When Mike was commuting to Sydney in the mid- 1990s, he attended the Hyde Park ward (in the same building as the YSA ward)  each Sunday.  So he is back in his old stomping grounds.

Called to Australia Sydney North Mission

17 Jan 2016

Margaret and Mike Haley have been called to serve as Member & Leader Support missionaries in the Australia Sydney North Mission.  We have been called to serve for 18 months, but may be able to extend for an additional 6 months if the Mission is able to put up with us.

We report to the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah on 15 August 2016 and leave for Sydney on 22 August 2016. We hope we can learn the language in 1 week.

We hope that this blog will be record the happenings of our mission and we hope to post pictures as we make our journey through the coming months.

We are excited to go back to Australia and look forward to serving the people of Australia and our Heavenly Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ.
