We love and miss you all so please send pics of Halloween!

We had a call from SLC last week in preparation for BYU developing materials that Dad and I designed up for a rootstech/Family History Fairs in Australia. Australia will be a beta program and then possibly expand to other areas of the world. Dad did a mighty job on putting together the powerpoint and booklet describing the Kit which prompted SLC headquarters to adopt the initiative.

Dad and I went to Tamworth (country music capital of Australia!!:)) We went up to speak in Sacrament meeting. A small ward of 30 attended. They were all lovely, friendly people. It was a long drive of about 5 hours each way, but worth it. Dad took up a new computer and installed it for them.
While I was up there, I noticed a book on their shelf that was titled "A biographical index of South Australians 1836-1885 and discovered Tredrea and Hahn.(nana's family)

 

Last week we had Sister Rogers (87 yrs old) from Queensland come down to visit us. A missionary couple have spent the last 16 mths photographing the 1,000,000 headstones she copied from cemeteries. She had lots of stories and energy. It was an enjoyable 3 days with her. She was so bright but needed to get home to personal trainer as she attends the gym twice a week to keep in shape for summer pool aerobics!

Sister Rogers (the collector of 1,000,000 headstones with the missionary (Elder Roberts) photographing them.

We have a mini garden with a tomato plant, mint plant and capsicum plant. Perhaps we will get some fruit from it, but I really think it is more about Dad being able to use the hose on the balcony.

We also have two sets of missionaries leaving this month so this is the photo of the group this mth.
