Taken in a rush -- before the general authorities came in.   Wish you could have heard the singing of 200 + strong voices.

I located the Canberra districts and found Elder Shelton  -- the son of Julianne (Judkins) Shelton   ---  the AP's  (Assistants to Pres) told me to look for red hair.   Spotted him at once!

Hobbiton -- New Zealand

Last month, we spent a week in the North Island of New Zealand,  so beautiful, but enough latitude lower than Australia, that it was pretty cold.  We'll save the South Island for their summertime!   Our meetings were on the Church campus near the temple, but we rented a car and drove up, around, and over that island, with a couple of ferry boat rides as well.  Here are photos of the Lord of the Rings film location in Mata Mata, about an hour out of Hamilton.   (And why is it called Mata Mata....it doesn't matta.)
