Wow! Off we went on Saturday, August 12, to bike at the Olympic Park in Sydney. It is a huge complex, with restaurants, parks, picnic and walking/biking areas, ponds, forests, stadiums and fields, and beautiful views of water and the city on every side.
It was a beautiful Saturday, as we donned our helmets--and off we went. We even biked to the top of a huge lookout, and made it all the way to the top without having to walk. Amazing! We missionaries were quite proud of that!
Our days are full of lots of contact with lots of mission presidents in the area--and, hopefully, lots of help to them. Lonnie helps them, at least, and Kaye tries to help Lonnie!
But we are situated on the campus of a former boys' school, with beautiful grounds and old, lovely buildings This building is "Buckland House," where our office is.
Sharing the grounds with our office complex is the beautiful Sydney Temple. In fact, we can see the spires right out our window!
We have been warmly welcomed by everyone, who is bending over backward to help us get the "stuff" we need to operate--ant it is a lot of STUFF! But the birds sing, the sky is blue, winter is not so bad in Australia--and the gospel is true here, so all is well!
