The quokka may be the cutest animal you’ve never heard of. They’re found only in the southwestern part of Australia where there are only about 20,000 in the wild. The quokka is about the size of a cat or rabbit, with a long skinny tail that sometimes get the quokka mistaken for a rat. But once you see their big black noses and smiling mouths you won’t think quokkas look ratty at all. Quokkas are actually more closely related to Australia’s famous animal the kangaroo. Quokkas, especially the ones on Rottnest Island, aren’t afraid of people. In fact they often come right up to people or visit cafes and campsites looking for free meals. Unfortunately human food doesn’t agree with quokkas so there are rules against feeding them. The best food for a quokka is plants – they actually get most of their water from eating leaves and grasses, which helps them survive Australia’s often very dry weather. A quokka can even go months without drinking water. The main reason for the quokka’s extreme cuteness is its face, with that little smile that makes them seem super-happy. That may just be the way the quokka’s mouth is shaped though. Quokkas also open their mouths to pant, like dogs, when they get hot, which sometimes look like the quokka is giving us a big smile. Whatever the reason it’s a smile that’s hard to resist!

The state-sanctioned seizure is just the latest in a number of worrying developments to come out of increasingly hardline Turkey, which is in advanced talks with the EU over visa-free travel for its 80 million citizens.
Included in the seizures are Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox churches, one of which is over 1,700 years old.
They have now effectively become state property - meaning they are run by the government - in a country with a dire human rights record where about 98 percent of the population is Muslim.
The order to seize the churches was made on March 25 by Erdogan's council of ministers, according to the website World Watch Monitor.
They claim it was made on the grounds that authorities intend to rebuild and restore the historical centre of the city, which has been partially destroyed by 10 months of urban conflict between government forces and militants from the Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK).

My husband and I are ‘need-greating’ for a month with the English Congregation in Quepos, Costa Rica. Today we were privileged to be able to work the Public Witnessing Table by Manuel Antonio Park, where a brother and sister kindly let us set-up in front of their shop! Can’t wait for more great experiences while we are here! Photo shared by @tiffanys.boxes

Preaching down the river in Rio Dulce to find persons in far little towns. Since the territory is so big it takes like 2 years to be cover. We are preaching with brothers from Australia, Mexico, Japon, USA and Guatemala.

My family and my parents had the privilege to visit Brooklyn Bethel before the final move. It was such a special time for my parents to see their grandchildren (4th generation Witnesses) so inspired and excited about Bethel. In the picture we were on top of the Towers building overlooking the Columbia Heights building. We also were able to tour Tuxedo, Patterson and Wallkill. What a wonderful brotherhood we have!

Pioneer holiday witnessing on the Isle of lslay in Scotland, followed by some of the neighbouring islands: Jura and Colonsay. Around 1000 pieces of literature were placed and 2 studies started over the week. Around 20 of us went, the territory rarely gets preached to as there are no witnesses on the islands!! The best life ever!!! Photo shared by @mybonnysunshine

To show that Caleb is in all of our hearts, no matter the age, my 18 year old daughter was so excited when we saw the new Caleb video. Especially because she has the same pajamas. So she quickly changed so that I could take her picture and do a side by side. Photo shared by @brown_eyed_ida

Moonflower is one of the most romantic plants you can grow in the garden. It’s a statuesque, ideal evening-garden plant bearing large trumpet-shape flowers that unfurl in the evening (or on overcast days) and stay open until the sun rises. Most are sweetly fragrant when open. This beautiful plant is also very heat- and drought-resistant. Beware: It’s quite poisonous, especially the seeds. Just when we wonder what use there is for the moth. We find that the moth pollinates the moonflowers. The moonflower also gives the appearance of it glowing when the moonlight rises above them. The put on quite a show as the evening goes on.
