Dad started school this week. Dad's boss, Harry, is teaching the course about the Fokker 100 airplane. It's a smaller, older jet which is widely used in Australia for flying mine workers in and out of the mine sites. Dad says that it's a lot of work learning about a new plane, but it's also very interesting. He has been spending a couple of hours each night making notes - he has been doing double duty as he makes notes as a student so he is ready for the tests he will take during the course, and he is taking notes as a teacher for when he teaches this course in the future. Dad had his first test this past Friday and he was the only one in the class to get 100% (yay, Dad :-)
I have been spending my days knitting, reading, watching tv and doing stuff on the computer. I have also been able to get in some exercise every day. We brought two dvds with us from home - one is for resistance bands exercises and a pilates one. I have been alternating between these two and also have been going downstairs to the gym and walking on the treadmill and riding on the stationary bike every day as well. It's great having the gym so accessible - especially since it's been quite rainy since we've been here.
Today, we went to church at a local chapel, but were only able to go to Sacrament meeting. Since Harry is here and he owns the car, we didn't want to ask him if we could have the car for 3 1/2 hours to go to church. The people in the ward were very welcoming and made me wish we could have stayed longer. I love that wherever we have gone in the world, we have been able to go to church and worship with other saints. I love the gospel! :-)
