Blue mountains/ bethel

On Tuesday Eme took us to hike the blue mountains. We did 2 hikes in a row. The first one was 3 sisters, which normally takes 5 hours but we did it in 3. It was gorgeous! You start at the top and hike all the way to the bottom then it’s a steep hike back up to the top. If that wasn’t enough we decided to hike wentworth falls which is 30 min to the falls but it takes 1 hour to hike back up because it’s so steep. The falls at the end were incredible! We got to swim around a bit before our trek back up. By the end of the 2 hikes it felt like we had done the stair stepper at the gym on high intensity for 4 hours. We grabbed a bite to eat then rushed back home to make it to our meeting at 7:30. We got on the wrong train on our way home and didn’t end up getting home until 7:20! We were determined not to miss our meeting so we quickly changed then headed to the Kingdom Hall. Thankfully the Hall was nearby!
That brings us to our bethel tour today! We had a great group of girls and got to have lunch with the bethel family and an extra tour of the kitchen. An older missionary sister had lunch with us and invited us for tea in her room after and shared the most amazing stories with us. There are way too many stories to share here so I’ll have to share them when I get back in person. It’s been another great past couple of days!!

Pioneer seminar/ assembly We’ve had a busy couple of days. In an attempt to try Australian food we ate vegemite 😖 I only managed to eat two bites of it on my toast. Friday we did service with the Beverly Hills congregation then went to target (of course we found a target in Australia) and the grocery store to buy some Australian candy. We had the priviege of going to the pioneer seminar Friday afternoon. 266 pioneers were in attendance in just one side of the circuit! Afterward we did a spa night with Eme. We did 3 different face mask, nails and a hair toner. Saturday was the assembly. They have such a beautiful assembly hall and some very nice people in their circut. We’re having a great time exploring Sydney and meeting so many amazing people!

Goodbye Australia.... for now

Image
We have left Australia and made it to New Zealand! We had an amazing time in Australia and will never forget all the love and hospitality shown to us. We met some of the best people while we were there New Zealand  is stunning and pretty untouched. They’re pretty strict about what they allow into the country. At customs they even asked us about our gym shoes to make sure we’re nit bringing any outside soil into the country. If you bring anything into the country you’re not supposed to (fruits, nuts, honey, etc) they automatically fine you at least $400. We arrived in Auckland and stayed in the city for a night then headed out to whangarei the following day. I’ve never seen grass so green and sky so blue. This truly place looks like paradise. Today we did a long day in service which included eating blackberries, apples and grapes that we found growing in the territory.We also tried mineral water from a stream. We found a really cool waterfall in service and jumped in when we were d...

Glow worm caves and breams head hike 🐛🌤🧗🏼‍♀️🌅

Image
Last night we headed out to organ cave to see the glow worms. Glow worms are little insects  that live in dark/damp environments. A chemical reaction between oxygen in the air results in bioluminescence which causes them to light up blue in the dark. And yes I did turn to google for that definition 😆.  We headed out at about 9:30 at night to go caving. We crawled through dark, muddy caves to see the glow worms. It was really neat to see them! When we turned off our headlamps we were able to see all these glow worms light up. They were really neat to see, but I couldn’t get my phone to capture a picture of them. Google has really good pictures of them if you’re curious as to what they look like. We got back completely wet and muddy around 11:30 at night and had to be up at 3:15 for our hike the next morning. After 3 short hours of sleep we woke up to hike bream head. It was early but so worth it. It’s a 4.5 mile hike up a mountain. We started off on the beach, climbed up s...
