We are very grateful for the addition of another new missionary to the Australia Perth Mission. He is from Adelaide, South Australia and is the first missionary to arrive from interstate for nearly a year! After meeting his new companion, we had some training and then these two great Elders headed for their area.
We farewelled two more of our dear missionaries, as they faithfully completed their missions and returned home to their families - one to Malaysia and one to Bunbury. We are grateful for their service to the Lord, inviting and teaching His Doctrine. His way truly is the path to happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to come.
We farewelled Elder and Sister Vawdrey last night. They are one of our five wonderful senior couples who have blessed the lives of many here. Among many of their assignments, they have loved, lifted and served in Northam and Port Hedland. Thank you for leaving your families for a season to bless the lives of others. "What greater gift could grandparents give their posterity than to say by deed as well word, "In this family we serve missions!" (Elder Jeffrey R Holland).
