Sisters Preparation Day

The sisters of the Australia Sydney North Mission at Manly

In May we were able to meet the Sisters of the Australia Sydney South Mission and ride the Manly Ferry into Sydney.

This is Emma Scruggs (and Sister Scruggs). Emma does not appear in many pictures because she has become the mission photographer. Although she does not have a formal calling as a missionary she has served faithfully for 3 years. Emma is loved by all the missionaries and she is one of the Sisters. Emma has worried with us over sick missionaries, she has knocked on doors while doing sisters exchanges and she has been my companion on countless errands. Emma has washed more dished than she would like to admit. She never complains when we postphone plans or open our home to investigators, members and missionaries. I am thankful to have had Emma serve with us. She will be missed and remembered as the mission president's daughter who never missed a chance to switch badges on Elders jackets or help the missionaries remember how much they miss having a younger sister to tease and taunt. Being the youngest of 7 she can hold her own with the teasing.

Thank you Emma, you will be missed!

April Transfer

Transfer day starts at 8am. All those missionaries moving to new areas and their companions meet at the Normanhurst chapel parking lot. After organizing luggage, cars, bikes and a short message from the president, goodbyes are said and once again everyone is on their way.

The missionaries who are leaving the missin field get a nice breakfast at Nadia's cafe. We then go to the temple. We love that last temple session with those Elders and Sisters. It is the last time for many years they will feel fully consecrated in the service of the Lord.

Sister Myrvang, President Scruggs, Elder Lavea, Elder Sunnex, Elder Higgins, Elder Boardman, Elder Cooper, Elder Bregante, Elder Bills, Sister Scruggs, Sister Hepworth & Sister Powell. We wish them well.
