Tell us about your week! 
This week was good! I’m getting used to being in the heat and getting into the swing of things at home! I was able to have some free time to go into town, which is only a few blocks away, and check out some of the shops! There are a few cute little shops that have really pretty clothes and some restraunts, bars, a bakery, and even gelato shops! I’m starting to understand why everybody walks everywhere because it’s so convienent! I went to the grocery store and bought a fan for my room and some Tim Tams, which are delicious! If you’ve never had Tim Tams you can get them in the states, although they seem to be better here in Australia! Not surprising though!

 

On Sunday I went to church, I found a member who gave me a ride which was really nice! It was so cool to go to church because the meetinghouse is on the Brisbane Temple Grounds! I could walk outside the church and the temple was right there! It was so beautiful! 

 

My family has been so great and I am just loving the little girl so much, she is so fun! I have been here for like 10 days now and I’ve only had to kill 1 small spider and trap a tiny gecko so that’s good it hasn’t been worse because I hate spiders so much! Anyway, Brisbane is awesome!
