We are in Sydney

Sorry it has taken us so long to post, but we have been drug all over Sydney to see the sites and then to buy a car.   They were hoping that we could buy a car before Friday and we could follow some Elders out to our new home about 3 hrs away from the mission home.   

We are here safe though.   Sister Byram drove us all over today and we did find a car but had to come back to the Mission home to transfer some money  and we will go back tomorrow to buy it.

 

We were told that they would take us to lunch but they never got around to it.   it is now supper time here, so we will go eat now.  I am starving. 

 

The Mission President and his wife decided that all new couples should get their picture taken right off in front of the  Sydney Opera house.   I have attached a couple of pictures.   So that was our first trip.    And what do you think of these weird trees?    

 

We then went to the mission office for an interview with President Simmons.   

 

We are being put up at a motel for a couple of nights before being taken out to Orange.   You can find it on the map.   We will be living there.   It is out in the country.    Whew, the city driving on the wrong side of the street is scaring me to death.   We can learn out in the country where there are no overpasses and underpasses and all that fun stuff.       

 

I slept about 3 hours straight on the plane and then just now and then, so I am totally brain dead, that I am getting numb, but they want to keep us up until 9 pm here to get us on the right schedule.    It is only 5pm  now.   I don't know if I'm going to make it.
