November 2015

November 2015 proved to be a very busy month with a visit from our supervisors, responsibility to plan and carry out the mission couples conference, and Thanksgiving dinner.

Cheryle in her first Jakarta Becek with Sister Johnson

Elder and Sister Johnson, our humanitarian supervisors, were transferred from the Area
Office in Hong Kong to East Timor in August.
It was their assignment to open the country for missionary work, establish humanitarian
projects, and continue to serve as our supervisors.
They are required to leave the country every three months to renew their
Visas, so they came to visit us for a few days and to get new Visas for East Timor.



We took the Johnsons with us to assess The Learning Farm humanitarian project that
was approved by the Welfare Department.

 




We also traveled with the Johnsons to Yogyakarta


Our Jogya driver, Giovani and his girlfriend Omni,
both great returned missionaries.
