Fir Circle in Provo Utah was not necessarily the ONLY family home as Dad taught in the Church Education Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a Seminary and Institute teacher up until his employment with the Brigham Young University in 1958.  As such, the family lived in Salt Lake City, Utah, Logan, Utah, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Cedar City, Ut and then Provo in Utah (home of the BYU).

The culture of the USA is in love with Parades.  From the Easter Parade, 4th of July, 24th of July and many other occasions, parade our precious.

The New Century of 1950 brought to the Harris Family a time of excitement and adventure as grandchildren were growing and now the ability to record such changes visually. For instance, the delight Strawberry Reservoir which John E Harris assisted in the construction. Notice the formal dress which was standard for the day.  Grandpa loved his garden as seen in these images.  You will notice the Harris dry farm that John and Ellen were so proud of.  And boy oh boy, what about the cars.  Now families could afford cars of all shapes and sizes.  Of note, is the staging of many of the images.  People would formally walk from inside to outside to be part of the filming.

You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them.

In 1847, when Mormon pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley, LDS Church president Brigham Young selected a plot of the desert ground and proclaimed, “Here we will build a temple to our God.”^[4] When the city was surveyed, the block enclosing that location was designated for the temple, and became known as Temple Square. Temple Square is surrounded by a 15-foot wall that was built shortly after the block was so designated.

The square also became the headquarters of the LDS Church. Other buildings were built on the plot, including a tabernacle (prior to the one occupying Temple Square today) and Endowment House, both of which were later torn down. The Salt Lake Tabernacle, home of The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, was built in 1867 to accommodate the church’s general conferences, with a seating capacity of 8,000. Another church building, the Salt Lake Assembly Hall, was later built with a seating capacity of 2,000.

Paul Jr served an LDS mission to Australia from Nov 1963 to Nov 1965 and after completing higher education returned to Australia as a Permanent Residence.

Thus the Australia Connection.

The Church opened Java to missionary activity in 1970 and assigned missionaries to Jakarta, Bandung, and Bogor.[2] By year-end 1973, missionaries were serving in eight cities on Java: Bandung, Bogor, Jakarta, Malang, Semarang, Surabaya, Surakarta (Solo), and Yogyakarta.[3] The Church organized its first district in 1972 (Jakarta) and opened the Indonesia Jakarta Mission in 1975. Additional districts were organized in Surakarta (1977) and Surabaya (1978). Rapid membership growth occurred during the 1970s and 1980s as total church membership increased from less than 100 in 1970 to 770 in 1974[4] and 3,100 in 1985.

Problems obtaining foreign missionary visas resulted in the Indonesia Jakarta Mission undergoing several iterations of closing and reopening during the last quarter of the twentieth century. The mission closed in 1981, reopened in 1985, closed in 1989, and reopened in 1995. During the 1980s, the Church achieved considerable progress augmenting the size of the indigenous Indonesian full-time missionary force. The number of local members serving missions within Indonesia climbed from 24 in 1981 to 49 in 1987.[5]
