This week has been awesome so far! On Monday night we were invited over to the house of someone in the ward for dinner and Family Home Evening. The man is a former mission president so he had some pretty cool stories. They live kind of up in the Bush and on our way there we saw a sign that said "Watch for Wildlife" We were wondering what we might see when all of a sudden we saw a wild kangaroo in the middle of the road. We just sat and waited for it to hop away before we kept driving but we were totally freaking out. It was the coolest thing I've ever seen. Yeah, we saw them in a zoo but these were wild! It was awesome :D Anyway, for dinner they served us a typical Aussie dish. It was bbq sausages and apples in this gravy sauce. It was really good! They also made this Australian dessert called Rosewater Pavalova. It was fantastic! We also brought a dish to share with them. They asked us if we would bring Funeral Potatoes! Haha they say they have heard its a typical mormon dish, but have never really tasted them and really wanted to! So we brought funeral potateos and they just loved them. I just thought that was so funny!
Tuesday was great too! Britt and I were invited to a combined mutual activity Tuesday night at Freshwater Beach. They cooked sausages and we ate them with bread, onions, and ketchup. Apparently, its very Australian. Thats what the kept telling us. The kids were so nice they kept asking us all these questions to hear our "accents" and asked us silly questions about America. Then we played a pick-up game of touch rugby. It's been a great week so far!!
