Zone Conference in Murray Bridge

So we got up bright and early Tuesday morning and made the beautiful drive to 

Murray Bridge for zone conference.  The sky was blue and the grass was green!  

You can notice our GPS on our dashboard which is our best friend these days.  

I don't know how you would get around Australia without one?  

This is the great Mount Barker Zone!  Elder and Sister Larkin made the trip

to bring us lunch and do some training for us.  As well as Elder and Sister Gray

who came to train on having a house of order or... cleanliness is next to

godliness.  Elder Taleo, Elder Pitcher, Elder Pitama, Sister Taylor, Elder McClutchie,

Sister Foo'logo, Elder Lapenmal, Sister Esplin, Elder Johnson, and Sister Abonalas.

Lunchtime!!  Sisters first :)

Next come the very hungry Elders. 

Elder B. Johnson and his companion Elder Lapenmal.  In spite of their size

difference, this is a great companionship who work so hard and are blessing lives!  

Today Elder Lapenmal bore his testimony in English and did fantastic!!  Thanks to

much hard work and his great companion!  True brothers in the Gospel.

President Parker and Elder Larkin have a chat with the great ward mission leader 

of the Murray Bridge Ward, Brother Murray!

Two of our favorite people ever!  Elder and Sister Gray.  The Grays will be going

home very soon and they will be missed by all.  They have served us all with all

of their heart, might, mind, and strength!  Today they are presenting a couple of

"cleanliness is next to godliness"  awards to those who have been complimented

on their wonderfully clean flats!!

This is the first bridge built to cross the Murray River.  This is a beautiful community

and we loved visiting there. 

This was the scenery going home.  Green rolling hills and beautiful roads.  It's

amazing how great all the roads are without any snow damage.  They are very

well maintained and we just look forward to days we get to travel somewhere

new!
