This is our second spring in Australia and its just as beautiful and lovely as last year though perhaps a little cooler. We spent the first weekend in October in Forster-Tuncurry, about four hours north of Sydney on the coast. We attended activities associated with the showing of the "Emma" movie at a film festival there, a film about the wife of Joseph Smith, the first prophet of the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
We also made a trip west to visit with some other senior missionaries, the Cases in Orange, stopped at the famous "Dish", a radio telescope that was featured in the movie, "The Dish." Then south to the Church Farm near Griffith.
There was also a move of our office to another building on Church Administrative campus which took a lot of time and effort. We are still in the process of getting settled into our offices. We also had a visit from the Presiding Bishop of the Church, Bishop David H. Burton who wife is a Matheson descendant, the same as Clint.
Additional activities with our Scout group which keeps us very busy as well.
We are looking forward to Christmas and the joy this brings to many especially remembering the birth of Jesus Christ and what that means for mankind.
