WIM - Goodbye Gamiettes

Hello friends,

This month started off with a surprise birthday party for Elder Lindorf.  I was trying to keep it low key but mission moms have a secret calendar.  I must be special though, because not everyone gets cake at the mission home for their birthday.


Sister Lindorf is the real reason I got a cake.  She's been teaching the Gamiette children voice, piano, and guitar lessons weekly for the past several months.  They go home to Guadeloupe in two weeks when their dad, our Mission President, will be released.  We have grown to love this exemplary family and will miss them dearly!

Singing Happy Birthday with Terry!

I think Jenny is missing a few candles if this cake is for me!

I may be 62 but I can still jump over a broom handle backwards.  Can you?

Terry is the singer - studying lyrics

Tom is a beginner at the piano but learning

Amy is the youngest and extremely precocious.

Both of the older girls are preparing to go to BYU in January.  The first to leave the nest....

Cora Lee aka "Coco" is an accomplished pianist

Jenny plays guitar with Sister Lindorf accompanying on the piano

We will miss this wonderful family but look forward to new experiences with President and Sister Mehr at the helm beginning in July.

Last week we moved into a larger apartment.  It's much more spacious and light than our old place downstairs, with plenty of room for our office.  We even have a futon for the occasional guest.

Where's Waldo?

This little guy is the Bishop's son.  He's taken a real liking to Elder Lindorf who misses 17 grandchildren everyday.

Our tiny Couva ward is still home base whenever we're in town.

The school year is wrapping up and plans are in the works for Seminary and Institute graduations.  We will be attending several over the next two months.  Next week we go to Grenada for the first one.


We wish you the Lord's choicest blessings and success in all you do.  We are happy in His service.


Elder Lindorf
