We are
not sure which Ward/Branch we will be attending regularly but today we visited
the Cambridge Branch. The First person to greet us was a lovely Scottish lady
from Aberdeen. Well it just so happens that my best friend in Scotland, Gloria
is from Aberdeen. So like I always do I asked if she knew her. Well guess what
Gloria is her best friend too!!! So Gloria you must come and visit your two best
friends in New Zealand, Katy Hanara and me.
We
watched a lovely Primary presentation but it did make me homesick for my home
Ward Newbury. I hope your primary presentation went well? I spent all of the
meetings sitting next to another friend of mine from England Sandra Wood. We
will be visiting with her again soon.
So how
did our musical evening go? Sister F was there and as she approached me my
heart fluttered but I was ready for anything! As she was getting closer to me
she turned around and went in another direction, phew. I did learn later that
the missionary sister that works in the office with me, Sister Marsden, told
her that she was not very kind to the new missionary Sister (Me) in the office.
Sister F replied what do you expect I’m 85 years old. Then Sister Marsden told
her that she should have known better.
The
musical evening was delightful. It was a musical celebration of the Church College
that has recently closed down in Hamilton. One of the songs really touched me
as it was a song Nikki and I used to sing in our Young Women days. ‘When
Someone Cares’. We were asked to join in with the chorus if we knew it, I
sobbed my way through it. Here is another one of those coincidences. While
Elder Saunders and I were staying at the London Temple we met a Sister
Missionary who is from Hamilton. She asked me to look out for her family and
guess who sang? Her sister Holly. What a musically talented family. For those
of you who can access UTube check out Sister Walmsley rendition of ‘Lds
missionary Sisters sing Boogie Woogie’ or something like that, it is so cute.
We hope to meet up with Sister Walmsley and Holly again early next year.
