Sydney Temple Trip.

I should begin by saying I am a slack blogger! I just can't be bothered lately. There's been lots of exciting things to blog about too but I just don't. So I figure a dodgy blog is better than none right? So I'll give a little spill on what it is, and let my favourite pictures tell the story.

Well I was given the opportunity of a life time to fill in an empty spot on the East Ward Youth Temple Trip in August. We went to Sydney on the thursday night and stayed until the monday. The people who attended were =

The awesome weekend went something like this -

Thursday - left from the Launceston Airport thursday evening, arrived in Sydney at about 9.20pm. We got our two mini buses and went to the Temple Accomodation. We settled in our rooms (I was lucky enough to have all the young women in our room) and went to bed.



Friday - We had a morning temple session, then visited the Distribution Centre where Aunty Lee Anne popped in for a visit, we had lunch in the temple gardens and went back to the accomodation. We went on a ferry ride over to the The Rocks, watched two nice fellas make lollies, went back on the ferry. We had tea at Maccas then went ice skating. I was no good at ice skating and always had to be holding onto some one. I fell over alot and looked like the biggest goof out there, but it was fun :)



Saturday - We had another morning temple session, then had a little free time at the acommodation, then headed off to DFO ;) Monique and I had more fun than anyone else I think. We brought lots of things :) After shopping we went to a park that I don't know the name of. We met Chrish there! Then we went to the footy, Geelong vs. Sydney, Jake & I were going for Geelong - they won! ;) After the footy we took a few photos of the temple of a night then bed.



Sunday - We had the opportunity to attend church in Sydney Ward, I can't remember what ward it was but Aunty Lee Anne and Chrish were there so it was a good ward. After church we went back to the accomodation and packed our things up and headed to the temple. We took a few more photos and then had a testimony meeting on the front lawn. It was amazing to me that we were by a main road but the spirit was so strong and we were so focused on the testimonies being born. We then headed off the the airport to head home to the freezing cold Tassie, our home.



In no particular order, just jumbled because it wouldn't let me move them, here are some of my favourite photos from the trip. I stole them from people's facebooks, so thankyou Kieran, Kym and any others =)
