Mission area

It has taken us a whole month to get our boundaries figured out and what we might suppose to be doing.
We were told by Mission Pres. Simmons to go to live in Orange and be in charge of the following cities and their branches.

Cowra
- S. abt. 1 hr. 45 min away Forbes - W. abt 1 ½ hrs away Parks - W. abt 1 hr 15 min away Dubbo - N. abt 1 hr 45 min away
and as of Sunday Sept 25 we are to do anything that Bathurst and Mudgee Branches wants us to do for them.
The Sister missionaries live in Bathurst 45 min away. We are to help them in any manner that they need. We are the only other missionaries in the area.

Mudge
e - NE abt 1 ½ hrs away. Bathurst - SE abt 45 min
So look at this list when we tell you all the places that we travel. Sydney is 4 hrs away from us. The mission home is located there.
Parks is the only one included in our Branch. We have visited the Branch Presidents from Orange, Cowra and Dubbo. They have all given us lists of people to visit. The Dubbo's Elders Quorum President lives another 4 hrs farther North of Dubbo. These branches have such small amount of active members but a lot of inactive, of which we are encouraged to visit. We are just as our call said. Member and leader support. Once when there was an elder in the Dubbo area, he decided that the Dubbo Branch was as big as Utah itself. Ron does not think it is quite that large. But it is large.
When we go to visit D...... P....... in Forbes, we first go to Parks to visit someone (not there and no phone) then to Forbes, then on down to Cowra to visit Cowra Branch Pres Lazanski and T..... H...... This is an all day trip.
When we went to Dubbo to clean the apartment there, we went to see Pres Ryan 45 min father north and then back to the Apartment and slept over.
