A busy weekend

Hello y'all
Well this week has been absoulutly crazy busy. As you know I am living with my cousins at the moment and we are having an total blast.
We had people over on Thursday night and then watch an Australian football game the next night which everyone calls here "footy" and the West Coast Eagles won (don't know them but thats a very good thing). So it was really cool though and so much different from our kind of football - alot more entertaining.
Friday was alot of of fun because Pop (my grandpa) came and took me out for lunch on the coast and then we went to Point Peron for some really cool sightseeing. Even though its kind of cold here the scenery is still so beautiful.
Then come Saturday we did some shopping here - and I am just so glad i got most things back at home because everything here is sooooooooooooooo expensive its crazy! Then that night we went to the grandparents for supper which was really good - Nana had made Wonton soup and its something Chinese but it was delicious.
Sunday was a busy day and lots of meeting people and such. Quite fun though and I even went to club (which is our YPS) and its different then mine but at the same time really good. But yeah I met about 3 different familes and then plus the ones I kinda knew and caught up with a bit but it was cool. I was very glad Bal Davis church was small so its alot easier to kinda get to know people. Oh well - its not going to be my church anyways as I am going to Kelmscott.
I miss you all and looking forward to hearing from you

I'm finally here!!

Hello Everyone
Wow its seems like its just yesterday that I just saw you all at my house. Anyways I am finally here in Aussieland and finally caught up on SLEEP!!!
So the flight was good except that I had to go on 4 different planes but thats alright. Met some very interesting people on all my flights and talking to them helped pass the time as well. However on the way from San Fransico to Sydney the flight was very empty so I had a whole 3 seats for myself and with the help of my special pink equipment (thanks so much!) I crashed for the 10 hours of the 13 hour flight so that was nice.
Landing at Sydney was alright except that I had to claim my luggage and go through the whole thing again so I could fly domestically to Perth. I even got checked if I had any explosive powers on me or my luggage (don't worry - I didn't).
Then finally I got through and before departing to Perth I had a Fredo Frog (it was so good and for those who don't know what it is talk to an Aussie!!)
As soon as I came I got driven back to my Aunts where I met pretty much everyone again kinda of hectic and then went to the hospital because I broke my leg!! (NO just kidding don't worry - we went there because Auntie Kina (the person I am staying with) just got a new granddaughter that afternoon)
Today was good - caught all up on my sleep - went shopping with Auntie Kina for groceries. And now I am here at my Uncles for the next ten days housesitting with my two cousins! We'll have a lot of fun and not much sleep I'm sure of that.
Anyways I just wanted to say a big thanks to all that came that night - it meant alot to me and I read all your cards again while I was on the plane and yeah it was great to feel so loved
Thats all for now
