We also participated in an AMA council meeting with all of the Area Medical Advisers of the Pacific Area.
Tonga was also mentioned. Two countries sent airplanes for disaster relief and their engines were destroyed by all the ash. So now they are sending boats instead of airplanes which will take a lot longer. All the missionaries were accounted for.
Our eighth Grandchild celebrated his 7th birthday today. We had two cakes and lots of ice cream! Fun was had by all!
We also talked on Zoom with Sister Kirk - Adelaide Mission Medical Advisor, Nurse - about the health of Missionaries.
It’s amazing all that needs to be done for the continued health of Missionaries!

You will also see that the living of one protective principle of the gospel is better than a thousand compensatory governmental programs—which programs are, so often, like “straightening deck chairs on the Titanic.”
Do not overpack the luggage you plan to take with you when you leave this world, for we simply cannot get most mortal things by celestial customs; only the eternal things are portable.
Do not pray, for you will get answers from a listening and loving Father.

The Lord is in charge and we put our trust in Him! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A few months ago I met a young man. I asked him if he was going on a mission. He said, “No a mission is not for me.” Just before I went to the Mission Training Center I had a thought in my head and I knew it was the spirit. I needed to talk to him about going on a mission and how important it would be and how good he would be. I followed the spirit. He said,”Maybe.”
I left to go to the mission training center for two weeks. I came back and happened to see him and he said guess what? I’m going on a mission! After I had talk to him someone else had talked to him in the afternoon and had encouraged him also to go on a mission.
I’m so happy. I’m really happy that I listened to the spirit and encouraged him to go on a mission. And I’m happy the other person also listened to the spirit and encouraged him. We never know why the Lord tells us to do some thing and sometimes we don’t know the outcome. But to listen and obey the spirit is always the right thing to do.
We talked tonight to Elder and Sister Garlick who are the Executive Secretary and Assistant Executive Secretary in the Area Presidency Office in New Zealand. They taught Elder Bennett many things. Sister Garlick invited me to be a part of the Sisters Gospel Study. They study a conference talk every week on Tuesday at 2 o’clock
Last night some of the grandkids spent the night. A couple of them woke up at 5 o’clock in the morning because somebody had turned an iPad alarm on. Thankfully they went back to sleep!
Today was full of art projects, science experiments, music making, creative hats, 👒 playing with cousins, and lots of memories!
