I had a presentation at a nursing conference in Brisbane, Australia at the end of July/first part of August. Sam, Ruth, and my sister, Laurel went with me. We went all over the area, seeing Brisbane and loved every minute of it. We stayed with the Langelands from our ward in Salt Lake for part of the time, much appreciated especially in light of the fact that they are mission presidents for the Brisbane mission. Since pictures are worth a thousand words, they will tell you the rest of the story.

It's great to see some pictures of this finally!
All of your pictures are great! It's nice to be able to finally see pictures of and read about this trip. Did you really take that breaching humpback picture? Also, I find it hilarious that you said you and Laurel are "simulating" koalas instead of "imitating" them. You can tell what you do for your job!
