Skyping with our children and then a phone call from the elders, "We've locked our keys in our flat".  We spent some time with them working on the best way to get inside.  As breaking in proved impossible without damage, we contacted the mission office in Sydney and obtained the landlord phone number.  All turned out well.

Early this morning Elder Berger joined the elders and Brother Clarkson to do service for the Dicksons who have acreage nearby and needed help clearing some land of branches, etc.  Sister Dickson is on dialysis twice a week and Brother Dickson has health problems as well.

Branch presidency PEC meeting tonight for Elder Berger.

Seminary discussion on keeping our reservoirs of faith full to withstand the challenges of our day.  We had a good lesson.

After, we took a walk downtown and had a poster of a CTR shield for this year's sharing time theme blown up and laminated.  I really miss all of the easily available office helps that I used at home, i.e. color copier, laminating machines, UPS stores.  Those kinds of services here are rather expensive.

Our Primary Valiant, Joshua Smith, left us today and was ordained a deacon.  Here he is with his proud father.  We now have a DEACON to pass the sacrament, haven't had one for a long time we am told.
