Dirt Storm

Last Tuesday we had wind all day then that night we had a thunder storm with lots of rain. Wednesday we woke up to red skies, huge winds and then it was orange the rest of the day. It was wind and dirt all day. The wind brought over tons and tons of dirt from the outback. We did not need all the dirt and the farmers out West sure do, they will miss it as it is their good top soil.
We spent the day trying not to be blown away. We had some appointments so we had to go out in the mess. Everything is covered in red dirt. Thursday it was nice then Friday came and here was another dirt storm. It was only orange most of the day, not as bad. By afternoon it cleared up, the wind, not the dirt. Vacuum, dust, wash down and it is still dirty. Today Sunday the wind blew and blew reminds me of the Santa Ana's in So. Cal.

Thursdays

Serving at the Sydney Temple on Thursdays is very nice.
It is an all day affair as we leave for Sydney at 10:oo AM and get home after 9:00 PM.
It is a nice drive down the freeway to Sydney until we get to Pennant Hills Rd. Then all the freeway traffic goes on to that road as it is a main road through that part of Sydney. All the trucks are on the road with you. It's like the 60 or 710 freeways in LA. The Temple is right on that road. The Temple grounds are beautiful as are all the Temple grounds around the world. On the same grounds are the Mission office, some regional offices, Family Services, a distribution center and three homes. All very lovely.
