Our newest home

 I haven't posted pictures of our newest "home", which is actually a home and not an apartment. I was delayed as right after we moved in we had to move out temporarily while they fixed leaking pipes in all the bathrooms. Then we were so busy that I didn't have time. So here is the newest temporary housing:

The outside, taken in 2 shots.

 
Our bedroom is upstairs, over the living room. Our study is over the garage that only has a bike in it

Living room, just inside the front door
Kitchen and dining room. We actually have a gas stove just to the right of the blue water jug on the counter. Love having a oven, just wish the temperature was consistent.
Storage under the stairs going upstairs.

 

downstairs bathroom. Toilet is just outside the picture to the right.

Back porch that is screened in and tiled. You can see our water pump in the back and laundry machine that drains onto the tile. Tile with water is very, very slippery. 

Study room and yoga studio. Notice the newly installed air con above the window. This is also the extra bedroom for missionaries spending the night.
 
Master bedroom. with our purple curtains and sheets. Other half of the master bedroom with the little alcove that opens onto the balcony. It's a Romeo and Juliet balcony as it isn't big enough for chairs. Does that make it a Lanai?
Master bathroom. Hard to get a good picture of it. 
Spare bedroom where we keep all the extra floor mats for missionaries. Great view of the swamp behind the house.

Small guest bathroom. Seriously, my knees touch the wall when I sit on the toilet. The picture makes it look bigger than it is. I can't even put a small mat in front of the shower or the door won't open.
Large walkin closet masquerading as the 4th bedroom. You can put two small mats side by side with a fan for missionaries to sleep in, although they may have roasted by morning. 
The landing at the top of the stairs. Jack has the ironing board there so missionaries can use it. We may move it back into one of the unused bedrooms.

Fjordlands

 We spent the day cruising through Fjordland National Parks. It's a series of fjords accessible mainly by the sea. The scenery was gorgeous. They get a lot of rainful here and today was not an exception. It made the many waterfalls so much more impressive. We were outside on the deck for a bit, but it was chilly so we came inside to watch the scenery go by. We managed to see some penguins from the distance and an albatross up close. Didn't get pictures of any animals. Just to prove that it is us here, even with our colds.

Noumea, New Caledonia

Image
 This small group of islands in Micronesia were discovered by the French. It helped me realize how bad my French still is. I had a few short conversations with people, but between my deaf ear on the right side and my lack of memory, the conversations were very brief. The water here is beautiful blue. Approaching the island, there were some cool coral reefs that caused the water to do some weird beach waves in the middle of the ocean. It was pretty awesome to watch the water break and roll in over the water. The pictures don't do it justice.  The port was a protected cove with lots of hills. We walked uphill through the Plaza de Pais. From the viewpoint, we got a great view of the harbor and the area behind us. They also had a statue of a woman praising God at the viewpoint.  Jack had to do a Touchdown Jesus pose with the Hail Mary. We also visited the Catholic Church, or as Jack called it, the Church of Barry Manilow. The priest's picture did look amazingly like him. Love...

Auckland Temple

Image
 On our "shortcut" home, we are seeing many temples. The first stop on our temple trip is Auckland. Jack and I went Friday night to do some initiatory and catch a session. We then went Saturday night with former Tacloban Missionaries. Only Sister Nau made it. We had hoped to see former Elder Fruean, Sister Lolohea and Sister Fue, who had recently gotten married.
