Specialized Training

 

Inspite of the fact that Elder and Sister Lea just arrived yesterday, we put them back 

in the car for another 4 1/2 hour car ride.  On our way to Mildura for Specialized

Training, so we took them with us so we could talk with them about their

assignment and how this mission runs.  It was a beautiful drive to Mildura, we were

able to talk about all the things we needed to plus, they surprised us and we woke up

to a delicous breakfast they had made in the hotel room.  Since we never have time for

breakfast when we are traveling, this was a great treat! 

 

Had a great day of training with the Mildura Zone.  Its always so fun to see Elder and

Sister Rohlfing and all of the Elders and Sisters.  

Elder and Sister Lea  and Elder and Sister Rohlfing have quite a few things in common.  

They have great skills with computers and are both Hamm Radio operators.  Just a couple of the 

things they had fun talking about.  We were grateful it worked out so they could get aquainted

before Elder and Sister Lea begin their assignment in Alice Springs. 

 

Elder and Sister Rohlfing spoiling us again.  Thank you for a delicious lunch and a 

cake that no one could resist. 

 

Infact, Elder Fepuliai had how many pieces????
