Specialty Training

President Parker and the assistants to the President, Elder Flinders and Elder 

McMurray, prepare for our first Specialty Training. We begin with the Marion

Zone.

After Training all morning on "fundamentals" we break for lunch . Sister

Freitas, Sister Vaioleti, Sister Mason, Sister Tamana, Sister Kosultrakul, 

Sister Fa'alogo, Sister Abonales, and Sister Makaya. We are in awe of 

these great sister missionaries.

This is a great picture of some fantastic Elders. Elder Kendal in the back with

the banana, Elder Hartman, Elder Taylor, Elder Fitzpatrick, ElderKomaisavai, Elder Gaastra

(who is recovering from a bike accident), Elder Costales,Elder Hayes and Elder

Nelson.

Most of the photos are taken during lunchtime because we shouldn't take 

pictures in the chapel during training.  But this was a great day being trained

in teaching fundamentals. Love these missionaries!

The St. Johns and the Larkins providing us with another delicious lunch. 

We are so blessed to have incredible senior missionaries who are always smiling

no matter the workload. We love you.

Talk about always smiling!  These two hard working Elders are always wearing

a smile.  They once again did some wonderful training today.  Love you Elder

Flinders and Elder McMurray.

Missionaries coming and going!

its a wonderful day to pick up a brand new missionary!  Meet Elder Radovan 

from the Philippines. We have been waiting for Elder Radovan for quite awhile

and his visa finally came.  Welcome to the Australia Adelaide Mission!

Elder Radovan with his new Mission President!  We are so happy to have you

here.

First stop is the mission office and a photo.  This is a great Elder and we know

great things are in store for this diligent missionary.  We love you Elder!

the Adelaide Temple will be closed for the next 2 weeks for cleaning so we went

to the Temple a  little early with this great group of missionaries who will be leaving

us way too soon. What a blessing to be in the House of the Lord together with 

people we love soooooo much.Elder Foiakau, Elder Matekohi, Elder Jarrett,

Elder Hartley, Sister Omugtong, Sister Makaya and Elder and Sister Larkin.

Many mixed emotions tonight.  Its getting harder and harder to say goodbye

to these incredible missionaries.  Standing up to be counted for 

the Lord. Oh how we love you.

Love these sisters.  There are many great memories of serving together and

hastening the Lords work together.

Elder O'Riordan

So blessed to have had Elder Andrew O'Riordan our Area Seventy with us as he

presided at the Firle Stake Conference. We sustain him in his calling and are 

grateful for all he teaches us.  He is a tremendous blessing to the missionaries,

and to Adelaide and leads with great enthusiasm and Christlike love to all he 

meets. You cannot be with Elder O'Riordan and not be excited about the Gospel

of Jesus Christ. Thank you for all you do to bless us. 

We also had the privilege of meeting Elder O'Riordans beautiful daughter, Meg.

She is a tribute to her wonderful parents as she just shines with the light of 

Christ. We love the whole O'Riordan family. 

Lunch after Conference

All enjoyed a wonderful lunch in beween Conference sessions.  thank you again

to the Yeow family. Couldn't love you any more!

General Conference weekend

Meet Graham Mylett, the newest member of the Golden Grove Ward.  Congratulations

Graham on following the example of our Savior  by being baptized.  These

great sister missionaries, Sister Siale and Sister Mongan have taught Graham

about baptism, repentence, receiving the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end.

A very special day for all of us to witness a beautiful baptism.  Graham was

baptized by our dear friend Brother Peters.  There is nothing like seeing

people you love dressed in white.

Faithful missionaries bringing  one of their brothers into the Gospel. We love you

Graham and are so excited as you begin your journey as a member of the Church

of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  Elder Garbutt, elder Woodford, Elder

Ruppe, Graham, Elder Ellingson, Elder Brosnahan and Elder Makai.

After loving every single bit of General Conference, these sweet Sisters, provided

lunch for our missionaries.  Thank you Sisters!  A perfect day.  Fed spiritually 

and physically. We love the Yeow family.  What  a blessing they are to all of us.

Our 3rd spider bite in the mission!  This is what it looks like when the wrong kind

of spider gets you.  Elder Fepuleai , one of our new missionaries, was unlucky

enough to get this bite.  Because of Elder Kendalls bites we knew just what to do. 

Sisters in Zion!  Love these beautiful sister missionaries.  They are doing hard

things.  They are biking hard to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
