Off to Adelaide

On Sept. 20, 2007, we flew to Adelaide to conduct some public affairs training for LDS Church members in that part of Australia. These individuals have been called (asked) to volunteer their time and talents to do a variety of tasks, mainly to establish relationships with important opinion leaders in this part of the world. While there, we visited a conservation park devoted to Australia wildlife including a friendly Koala; attended a session at the Adelaide LDS Temple; walked downtown to the South Australia Scout Shop and bought some scout stuff; contacted an LDS family whose father (Andy West) grew up in our West Jordan Utah LDS Ward. We went with them to Victor Harbor and walked around Granite Island and saw the Southern Ocean which is on the south side of Australia. We also attended Church with the West family at the Onkaparinga Ward. We enjoyed our visit to Adelaide and grew to love this beautiful part of the country. Sister Warby said the place reminded her of Salt Lake City with a great grid system where it's not that difficult to get lost.
