On our way to our flat, Ron drove and we followed behind 3 Elders. We followed them clear to Orange which is a 3 hr drive. We did get lost once when Ron wasn't paying attention and turned when they went straight, but thank goodness for cell-phones we got found. So the trip took us longer than the usual 3 hrs that it should have taken. Ron commented that it was no fun to drive because you have to concentrate so hard. He's getting the hang of it (a little). I still have to guide him alot. But don't ask me to drive. No way.
We made it here safe and have moved in. We are still unloading suitcases. Our flat is really cute, I like it. It is completely furnished with furniture, dishes and kitchen stuff. The sister missionaries used to live here, but Pres. simmons moved them someplace else.
It has a laundry room, kitchen, livingroom/dining room, 1 bath, and 2 bedrooms. Ron said I can have the one extra bedroom for sewing and art. There was a table out in the garage (ya, we got a garage too) that we brought into that room for me. There was an extra sewing machine at the mission home that Sister Simmons let me bring. She did not know much about it so I will have to unpack it and see if it works. I sure hope so.
The Elders brought a trailer to pick up all the stuff left in the garage. There were bikes, a mattress and other stuff. They stuck around long enough to show us where to go to get the internet, where the church is, and where K-mart is. We are set, right? We took them to lunch at Pizza hut. It cost $50. I am so amazed at the prices here. I just can't hardly stand it they are so high.
After the Elders left we went back to town and went to K-Mart. Now those prices were bearable. But they were a small K-Mart and did not have a huge selection. But this town is small. I am so glad to get out of Sydney. It is huge and the roads are a maze.
