This morning we met some of the branch members at 7 am at the town Visitors’ Centre for a “Walk Around Historic Broome.” It was early so we could enjoy it before it got very hot. Karen and Kevin Wylde organized it. We had a map and a page with directions and some “Fill in the Blank” questions that we answered as we walked. It was fun and the kids had a ball running way ahead because there was no one on the streets that early. Kevin is quite the history “buff” and provided lots of details about little known things of Broome. I took a couple of shortcuts since I’m not the best walker in the world anymore. We all ended up at McDonalds for breakfast. I had a “Brekkie Tomato McMuffin” that was really good. It was McHappy Day today. A certain percentage of the profits went to the Ronald McDonald House Foundation.
Tonight President Robinson brought pizzas over and we watched the priesthood session of conference. It was really powerful. Simone came and also Brigham Dennison, a new branch member who is moving into a small town on the other side of our proselyting area (10 hours away). He’s in his late 40’s and is from New Zealand. He’s a cop. They lived at Turkey Creek a few years ago then moved to Port Hedland. They really missed Turkey Creek so she moved back about 6 months ago and runs the Shire (county) office. He just recently got a job in a nearby town, so they are finally getting back together. They have a married son who is living up there also. It’s a town of about 500 people. We aren’t too sure that we will ever get up there even though it would be fun to see that area.
