Alice Springs

This is President Ford.  We were privileged to meet many of his family members 

at this district conference.  They provided a dinner for us that was unbelievable!!

We so enjoyed the conference and getting to know many of the wonderful

members who attend the Alice Springs Branch. The theme was honoring

the Sabbath Day and the messages given were just powerful.  Thank you to all

who participated and made this conference possible.  We love you.

Here we are with Brother Gary Bird and his brother.  They came all the way in

from the Bush to be with us at Conference.  Brother Bird shared his great

testimony with us in the conference and we are so thankful they were there.  

We look forward to getting to know them better over the next 3 years. 

More family members who came for the conference. We felt such a great spirit

being with all of you and thank you for coming. These are good families who

want to come closer to our Savior, Jesus Christ. 

It's so great to come half way around the world and find brothers in the Gospel

serving their families and others.  These are great men. 

We couldn't leave without taking a picture of these fabulous missionaries.  They

worked together and made a pinewood derby car to enter in their area pinewood 

derby competition.  This wasn't just an ordinary car.  It was a missionary riding

in the car complete with missionary tag , carrying the flag with Alma 29:9.  And

they won a blue ribbon.  Even better than that..... they did much missionary work 

through service and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ as they got to know many in

their community through scouting.  Congratulations to all of you!
