    I would love it if you would include the names of those missionaries when you take their pictures!

      I think Sister Henderson is the photographer, and she doen't have the time to get the names. I may be wrong, Again.

    Thank you for keeping a blog! Our son, Elder Henson, loves you both and I'm grateful to catch a glimpse of his mission through you. Keep up the good work and perhaps I'll see his sweet face on here some time ;)

    Thank you for creating this blog. I feel connected to our missionary and am happy to pray for the mission and the goals that you share. How can I contact other Mission Moms specifically serving in the Brisbane Mission?

    Our son, Elder Van DeMille, in Enoggera right now, is having a birthday tomorrow! (well today for you... Sept 11). Is there a way you could give me an address where I could have a gift basket delivered for him? HeatherLDeMille@gmail.com Thanks!

    My son, elder Gustafsson, is serving with you and I want to send you an email, but I am not sure what your email is. Can you contact me?
    Thank you so much for all that you are doing! You are bringing blessings to so many people, the people in Australia, our missionaries and even their families.
    Thank you.

    Our son was just called to the Brisbane mission. We live in Florida. I told him he can't go any further around the world before he starts to head back! I have a couple questions about the mission but am unable to call internationally from my phone. My main question is in regards to Health Insurance. Is there a group rate that we can get into. The visa requires insurance information and Australian Insurance Companies are new to me. We need to make a decision soon to get the paperwork in. Just looking for advise from someone who lives there and helps missionaries through this new experience.

    Thanks!

    I served as a missionary in the ABM (as we called) from 10/74 to 10/76. Things look way different in a good way. Glad to see so many smiling faces.

    My grandson just received his mission call to serve in the Brisbane, Australia mission! He reports to the Provo MTC on July 13th. We are very, very excited for him and this wonderful opportunity he has to serve the Lord. Look for Elder J. T. Nuttall! With kindest regards, Maurine Nuttall
