We enjoyed having a visit from Tim & Patcee Powers.
...it all happened in a most unique way:
There have been so many wonderful families we have met in Queensland and one of the ways that we stay connected with the people in the wards and branches is through social media. There is a beautiful couple who were getting married in the Sunshine Coast and I enjoyed seeing the pictures of them posted by the family. In one of the pictures I saw some faces from the past, Tim & Patcee Powers who my family knew from BYU swimming and diving coaching days. I sent out a message to invite them to come and visit us if they were going to be in the Brisbane area and we managed to connect for a visit. They told us how they both served in the same London South Mission as this young couple getting married and came here for their marriage in the Brisbane Temple. We continued to talk and made more connections: a past Assistant to the President married another great Sister from the same mission, our son, Kurt, baptized a young girl from Helsinki Finland and she was serving in the same mission, one of our valiant Elders was from that same area and was taught by these two Sisters who had served in that mission.....so many interesting connections. We were most excited to find out that as they were visiting in Brisbane, they had another mission call waiting for them back home: they were called to serve in the London Mission and are excited to be back in a country they love serving the people they love. We can tell from our visit with them that they were a dynamic missionary couple and will be a great blessing the the London Mission.
We wish you well Elder & Sister Powers!
