Katherine

The Community Center where church is held each Sunday. 

A great time in Katherine meeting wonderful people and attending church with this

Katherine Branch.  So amazing to see how the Gospel of Jesus Christ can be

Found and blessing families all over the world-even in Katherine Northern

Territory in Australia.

Before returning to Darwin, President and Sister Wamsley invited us for a lovely

Lunch at their home.  

Katherine Elders, Elder Atkinson and Elder Hammond are so happy they now have

A car!

Just one of the many gigantic termite mounds alone the way between Katherine and 

Darwin. these things are huge!  So how big are the termites making these things??

One of my favorite Australian words!  KAKADU Highway.  ITs just so fun to say!

Another gorgeous Australia sunset!  

Love these two great missionaries.  Thank you for the great trip to Katherine. A

Memory never to be forgotten.

NT Trip

President and sister Parkers first trip to Katherine was absolutely amazing.  From

Start to finish we loved it all.  The work is hastening and exciting things are happening

And we couldn't wit to see how it was all happening.  The first blessing was getting

To spend 4 hours in the car with Elder and Sister Farrer.  Not too many people can say

They served a mission with their sister and brother-in-law!  But because of the 

Size of this mission, we are thousands of miles apart and when we do go to Darwin, we

Are so busy that this was just a gift to get to spend time with them in their last few

Weeks.  Here we are checking in to the Motel in Katherine and who did we meet?

Sister Craigs auntie!!!  Sister Craig was serving in Darwin when we first came to the

Mission.  We love her so much and it was a blast meeting her auntie and uncle.  

We were able to witness the beautiful baptism of Mersenia Hankin.  She was baptized

By Elder Atkinson in the Katherine Hot Springs.  She was just radiant and so excited to

Be baptized.  She looked like an angel.

Elder Atkinson and Mersenia.

Mercenia with the Elders who taught her.  Elder Atkinson who baptized her and

Elder Hammond who confirmed her a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of

Latter Day Saints. 

Elder Farrer found just the right pole to check the depth of the water and find just

The right place.

Elder Hammond sang a beautiful hymn.

Sister Parker talked on baptism.

Sister Wamsley spoke on the Holy Ghost.

President Parker welcoming Mercenia and congratulating her on this great decision.
