Today we had a miracle. One of the missionaries on my team has tried unsuccessfully for two weeks to send a reply to a patron in Austalia. The email address in the contact file was obsolete and the phone number did not work. I even contacted someone in APAC and they tried looking the patron up in an Australian phone book. Our team lead said we had done enough and to give it up. But then we had a miracle. A missionary I had contacted in Australia went the extra mile for us and located the right phone number with a little detective work. She also provided us with the information that the patron had requested. I got all the information to Elder Pedersen. He called the patron and she was so pleased.
I know this would not have happened had I not gone the extra mile myself last fall and taken on the assignment of teaching a missionary in New Zealand the indexing program. This lead to me being put in both the New Zealand Chat and the APAC Chat. I have helped them and they have helped me many times.

About Me
- Mom
- Mayer, Arizona
- My name is Suzanne Osborne Halliday. I am a mother of five sons: Michael, Edward, Stephen, Bruce and Daniel. I have a beloved step daughter: Lisa. I am the grandmother of seven grandsons: Anthony, Joshua, Aaron, Tyler, Mattie, Sydney, Zachary, and three grand daughters: Bella, Gali and Alycia. I was born in Wichita, Kansas in 1942 to Harvey Osborne and Joyce White. When I was nine years old my parents moved to Peridot, Arizona, a village on the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation where my father had bought a trading post. It was not long after this that I was first introduced to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. A family down the road invited me to attend Primary. It was held in the back of the Weech's Trading Post in San Carlos. This was where I learned that I because of Jesus Christ I could return to live with my Heavenly Father again one day. Three years later my heart was touched by a Joseph Smith pamphlet I found in my brother Stevie's lunch pail. I joined the church 13 May 1961 when I was 19 years old. This decision has greatly changed my life.
