Kangaroos!

I saw my first Kangaroo yesterday! There were like ten of them just lying there in a field. They hang around the Uni (university) a lot. So cute! Next I need to see some Koloas! Yesterday I also went to the Brisbane temple and did baptisms. The temple was very pretty. I like Brisbane city. There is a fun atmosphere there. There is a great view of the city from the temple that I will have to post once I figure out a way to post pictures. Today I went to church again. I met a girl from China who is living here going to school. She became a member a few months ago. I also met a guy from Zimbabwe who is investigating the church. Many of the young single adults in the ward are recent converts. I love having the comfort of knowing the church is the same around the world. It is a great support system and a good way to get to know people. I have also met lots of people through work. All the new staff started and they are way fun. We hung out with some of them over the weekend. –Oh!!! I moved into my new place! It is great! Basically I live at a resort in Caloundra. It has two bedrooms, there is a great pool and gym and the beach is right outside my back door-seriously! Work is going good, we got pushed back a week so we don’t go “live” until March 8th but everything else is going well. I’m going canoeing tomorrow with some people from work so that will be interesting! More updates soon to come!

Ok- so new update- its raining. A lot. Nothing happened to us with the whole tsunami warning thing, but i'm not going to lie-its rainy a lot a lot. And the sea looks stormy. And its suppose to rain all week. -on a better note, I saw more Kangaroos yesterday! Sarah and I were just walking to work when we passed by a soccer field and saw two HUGE kangaroos! I wasn't as close to them as I was to the other ones, but these ones were big. Some of my co-workers told me that they jumped over the six foot fence there! I knew Kangaroos jumped but I didn't know they could jump that high!
