Australia Adventures

Visit to the zoo on pday, Brandon says these Koala's have the softest fur ever!

Kangaroo's are every where like stay dogs running through the city of Rocky Point.

This is Brandon with President and Sister Richards, Pres. Richards was released as the Brisbane Australia Mission President the month after Brandon got there.

Preparation days full of fun.

Wombat, they are all muscle. Reminded Brandon of a bear "I want one"
Feeding the elephants, tons of snot left behind.

Elder's having fun! "Street fighters"

Brandon's Didgeridoo...lets see if he can play it for us when he gets home?
Croc fighting at the Brisbane zoo..haha

MTC + Missionaries = Fun and learning

Elders Shearer and Tidwell..MTC companions

This is a very popular spot for a photo opportunity.

Brisbane Australia here he comes!

Yes that's snow in May at the MTC in Provo Utah

Elder Tidwell will try and convert everyone!

Holding on tight....Until we meet again.

This was a bitter sweet day, very excited for our son to serve a mission.
