More of the Vacationers in England





















Teresa, Matt, Cindy, Mark, Kade and Lisa
















We loved our time in the office

This is the office team. Elder and Sister Davis and Elder and Sister Steenhoek.


I am busy working at my desk inputting Baptisms and referrals.






Elder Steenhoek is busy at his desk working with flats and cars for the missionaries. Standing with him in the next picture are two of the greatest missionaries in the mission. They went with Elder Steenhoek to move Elders. They have taken our place now to work in the office 2 days a week.




This is the mail room where I process the mail for 130 some Elders and Sisters.

More of the Duck Races




This is one of the ducks waiting patiently at the top of the stream until the race begins. Businessmen sponser a duck and then cheer their duck on to the finish line.







Of course the Easter Bunney was invited!
At the top right is the boat canel located on the other side of the town centre.
Centre right is a picture of the Easter Bonnet judging contest.
Lower left is our Town Cryer. He was also at the Christmas Eve sing along.
Such great town pride and spirit!



This is our city Lymm and the day of the Duck Races.

This is the Town Cryer. He was also a part of the program on Christmas Eve when Christmas Carols were sung here in the town center
Elder Steenhoek is helping a worker put up a booth.

This gentleman is in charge of putting a net at the end of the river/pond so the plastic ducks will not fall over the edge.


In England Easter is celebrated on Sunday and Monday. On Monday the city sponsers the The Duck Races. They are a big thing in Lymm. All businesses are closed. Booths are set up. Thousands of people come to watch the Duck Races.



Lymm is a very old city. The building across from the city stream was built in the early 1500's.




The Beauty of England

This is the front of our home with the tulips blooming. The beautiful daffodils have come and gone. Now it's tulip time.
This is the front of our current home during winter. There are no signs of flowers.




And this is tulips.



This is a sample of the daffodils growing along the motorways and streets in towns.
