Aussie living for the Broughs
Dad at the computer -- maybe working on letters for Brough extended family in Australia!
Time to prepare a meal! Most times this must be done very quickly, before we are off for another appointment.
Tracey decides to take it easy at the end of the day.
Time for a haircut. Nadine, born in Lebanon, is a very capable hairdresser.
Klassik Hair Salon is right around the corner from our flat.
We're guests for dinner
The Stake President, Aaron Scott, and his wife Karen, invited us to dinner. (They are in the ward we attend here.) Their daughter Sarah is showing Tracey their rabbits.
Tracey gets to hold the pet rabbit.
Our ward's Bishop Bridges and his wife, invited both of the senior couples in the ward, and the elders serving in our ward,for dinner.
Maria Bridges and Miriam and Xavier, the bishop's wife and children.
The Arvidsons, who used to live up the coast near Toukley, now live in our ward. He works at church offices and needed to live closer to work. Malcolm and Helen are dedicated to doing whatever is needed to further the work of the Lord. (And they love to spend time with their grandchildren.)
You can see that Malcolm and Helen know Tracey loves puzzles. They brought out a puzzle for us all to work on while we visited after dinner.

Pot luck dinner -- Anzak Day is Aussie equivalent to our Veterans Day
Helping Primary children with new FamilySearch
Primary children gathered to learn about family history -- Sister Diane Andrews, family history centre director, in foreground. They sang Primary songs, filled out family group sheets, and listened to their Primary president bear heart-felt testimony of the importance of families.
These children's Primary leaders wanted the children to experience a little of new FamilySearch. Each child came prepared with a completed pedigree chart and their own membership record.
