Perth Zone Conferences

We flew from Sydney to Perth nonstop. That is like flying from New York to Los Angeles. Upon our arrival we were met by the office couple, the Jensens from SLC. They took us to downtown Perth where we rode the giant Ferris Wheel, and went to the top of Swan Bells Tower, a landmark in the city. These bells ring on the hour and were a gift from Scotland, I believe. There are twelve bells. This day we were able to see how the bells ring and even practice ringing them. The view from the top is very good.
The Jensens took us to dinner in the ocean suburb of Scarbrough. We had fish and chips - not good for the diet. The beaches were beautiful. Then they delivered us to the mission home. We arrived about the the same time as President and Sister Maurer who had been at a zone conference in Bunbery.
