Another installment in the remarkable journey we are taking here in Australia as public affairs missionaries. In this past month, we have experienced the high levels of government, then meeting the humblest of people from Papua New Guinea, teaching Cub Scouts how to make S'mores and helping with their camp, and traveling to the Blue Mountains west of Sydney to speak in Church.
We also were happy to have Clint's brother Lanor, his wife Kathleen, their son Robert along with Kathleen's mother and father, sister, brother and brother-in-law all come to Sydney. Kathleen's mother is a native Australian and wanted to showed them her homeland. We were also able to show the Warby roots in Australia as well, visiting ancestral lands near Newcastle including St. James Church in Morpeth where great, great grandfather James Warby Jr. and Mary Blanch were married in 1846, later joining the LDS Church and coming to America.
It is now officially spring in Australia and we look forward to warmer weather and more beautiful flowers. It was just reported on the television news that this was the coldest winter in 68 years. Still didn't get below freezing but we still had to dress warmly and snuggle on occasion.....
