NEW KIDS IN TOWN

July 16, 2010 Friday




Today we met President Paul and Sister Tanya Cahoon. What great people. They are just very down-to-earth type people rooted deeply in the scriptures and a willingness to serve. He had two separate dental offices in Edmunton when the call came. They have sold one and are still looking for a buyer for the 2nd one. Our conference was great and they shared with us that a different emphasis would be placed on Preach My Gospel for the next few years. It answers a lot of questions that our AP’s had been seeing in the zones and districts of the mission. The main emphasis is in teaching the missionaries how to be better teachers.
After conference, we went back to Port Hedland (conference is in South Hedland) to the library and did some e-mail. The Cahoons came back to the hotel, and we headed out to find something to eat. All the restaurants in town were closed. As we were driving along the beach road, we could see a place where it looked like people were eating. We parked and walked down. It turned out to be the local “Yacht Club.” Actually, it’s a group of people who all love sailing. They’ve bought the property to build a proper club, but haven’t got it started yet. So they have a big old cement slab, a kitchen and bar, a grassy area for tables that don’t fit on the cement, and a big play area for the little kids. It’s a Member’s Only place, but we explained our situation and they let us eat there. It was Thai food along with fish n chips. Good stuff.
