NP; Well another week has gone by, I started a new job (still with Australia Post). I am on the 17th floor now working for a National HR group. It has been very busy but I still manage to come home at the same time each day.
We had our Stake Conference on the second weekend of the month. It sta
rted with a family activity at the Stake Centre which consisted of a bunch activities going on at the same time in the hall. Lots of members came with their children; I think it was the candy floss machine that was the draw card.
The meetings over the Saturday and Sunday were all very good. Bro Fue (Tony’s and Vete’s Dad) spoke at the Sunday Session and did very well. They are such a great family, Vete is still a Rock. In the Saturday evening session President Dudfield spoke about using the media as a missionary tool. He projected up on the screen behind the pulpit different web sites and one of them was ”I am a Mormon” and there on the screen was Marion’s profile. She wasn’t at the meeting because she was working but we sure had fun telling her about it. It was also the business Conference so after the sustaining the full time missionaries names were read out and I felt some unrighteous pride when Ellen and Dylan’s names were read out,
Gramps sent me an e-mail this month to say that the last pigeon had finally died. I got the first pair back in 1975 so that adds up to a lot of droppings.
I mounted the big speakers than Vern got from school on the top shelf in the Music room. Vern then connected them up to the amp and the mixer so they sound pretty good. You can even pug the ipod in and shake the house and rattle the windows.
On the twenty-first I came back from Church and the rest of the family had gone to a baptism at Eltham. I was bored so I found the Scone Mix in the cupboard that has been there since 2000 and so I thought I would see if it was still good. I then made the worst tasting scones ever. Auntie Ena was down and she agreed, it was like eating sawdust.
VP; I attended Vernon Ngawaka's funeral since he passed away from a brain aneurism. He was quite young and was Janey Ngawaka's husband’s dad. Aunty Kay and Uncle Aaron were down and so we spent the day together and had a really good day. The funeral was a lovely celebration of his life and all the lives he had touched and the strength that he had been to many people. Also saw Debbie and Max Bryers and Caroline and Glen O'Grady amongst a whole slew of people from the other side of town that we knew. Kingi and Charee Dennis were over and they had said that they had Elder Petty over for dinner and they had made him sing. They said he was good. I dropped Aunty Kay and Uncle Aaron off at the airport on the way home.
I did some shopping at Costco and had the Chinese missionaries for dinner, Elder Burke and Elder Tsay. We found out Elder Burke is leaving this month to go home t
o Texas. He has had a great mission.
I had my last Parent/Teacher interview for Calvin Petty and that was OK. Our band played at the Pakenham Ball early in the month and then Braeside Ball the Friday after.
NP; Calvin got a new suit and Austin got his old one (yes Austin can fit it, he is going to be a giant in no time). They looked really suity when they left for Church so I sang them the ‘Nothing Suits me like a Suit’ song from the program ‘How I met your Mother’. With the actions I think I did a pretty good job, but for some reason Marion covered her face and wouldn’t look me in the eye.
