We work hard all week--in an office (with office hours), handling all kinds of issues with Mission Presidents throughout the region. We drag in the door each night, tired and worn out--but glad for the opportunity to serve. But on Saturdays--we usually go with the other senior missionary couples to see this beautiful part of the world where we are lucky to be! On our first Saturday here, we boarded a ferry near our flat and went down the Parramatta River into Sydney--and this picture was shot of the Sydney Harbor Bridge as we neared the wharf. What a beautiful sight!
Fresh off of the ferry, an aboriganal band was playing on the wharf, and we took a minute to pose. We were jet-lagged--but so happy to be in this land. We actually feel llike we never left! (Someone from here whom we know says we're like a boomerang: off we went (3 years ago), but back we've come!)
Meat pies for lunch--an Australian staple! This one had roast beef and gravy inside, then was topped with a pile of mashed potatos and mashed (yes!) peas. Yum!
And to top off the day--ice cream cones on the wharf before the ferry ride home. A FUN day!
