December 2015

Senior missionary couples from throughout the 10 stakes in
the Brisbane area met for a luncheon and follow up discussion
about the Work of Salvation Focus training just completed.

We received great ideas to continue Hastening the Work.

The ABM Senior couples dined at an outdoor restaurant before attending
a  Christmas program in Brisbane.

Crowds of people come to this manmade beach in South Bank.

an orchestra, soloists and choirs.

BRISBANE is spelled in colored letters along the Brisbane River.

Pacific Pines Ward hosted Christmas
Carols and Glow Sticks gathering at the chapel on a Saturday evening for a fun and festive time.  Members of the stake brought chairs and snacks and listened to the music while the kids had fun with the glow sticks.  It will be an annual event - it is a great missionary tool for members to invite their non-member friends to join them.

Christmas Zone Conference tables looked so festive.

Senior couples met at our flat on Christmas Day for brunch, visiting and
sharing memories of Christmases past.

Christmas afternoon we drove to the Springbrook National Park. From the lookout you could see Southport and down the coast.
