Hurray - We are in Australia

We picked up Elder Rascano from the Philippines and Sister Chen from China at the airport in Auckland and they joined us on the flight to Melbourne. They had been at the MTC in New Zealand. Everyone should watch the safety info video for Air New Zealand - best one ever.  President Maxwell and the two AP's - Elder Woodruff and Elder Cox picked us up and took us to the Mission Home to have lunch with Sister Maxwell and the other two new missionaries' companions.  Then we went to the office and met the other office couples and the Sister Sisters.  They immediately gave us a car (a Chevy Holden Cruze)(white with black interior) and we followed the Sister Sisters to our flat - a lovely 3-bedroom duplex.  The toilet is way down the hall from the rest of the bathroom - interesting.  I guess that is typical here.  We'll post pictures.
