Exploration

Yesterday I had my first explore solo in Brisbane. SO FUN. Eventually I'll get around to the planning phases and actually have set destinations, but for a few hours yesterday they dropped me off at an outdoor shopping center in the city and I got to just walk in whichever direction I wanted. I had some great fun.

I signed a Chinese petition.

I got a free Quran (which is awesome because I've wanted one for quite some time). And the guy handpicked a women's rights pamphlet for me to go with it.

I got asked for directions. And no I could not answer them.

I ran into the sister missionaries. The Mandarin Chinese speaking ones. Now I understand that this is a completely necessary calling because of the VAST amount of Asians in this city.

**Disclaimer: I'm not a creep because I took this photo.

I took a stroll by the Brisbane river.

I got a slurpee. Don't worry folks, 7-11 exists even down under.

I walked across a bridge.

I looked like a tourist with my camera. And I liked it.

I found some weird looking birds.

I found Burger King. I mean...

I found beautiful places.

I had a grand time :)

I'm liking Brisbane so far! There's a lot to do here and I look forward to seeing it all!!!




Other news: I am feeling pretty much back to normal. So that is happy. Food poisoning and jet lag combined suck. I went to church today, spanning over about 3 different wards haha. There are TONS of Polynesians here and they're so nice! Tomorrow if my first full day of taking care of Emily, so I'm a bit nervous about that and how she does away from mum for so long. But the good thing is Sally is in the house if I need her.

Bring it on baby!!
