Pollyanna in Perth

Every morning when my alarm goes off at 5:30 am, I say to myself, "if you miss the joy, you miss the whole thing!".  Elder Holland used this quote from Robert Lewis Stevenson, to inspire us during the MTC training.  It seems to be working for me!
Here is a list of some of my favorite things about living in Perth -
-missionaries, of course!
-Robby is here and continues to have a fabulous attitude
-seeing the BLUE Indian Ocean every morning as I take Robby to school
-the heater in my Toyota Corolla - it works immediately, on the way to Seminary
-my Totyota - it is small, easy to control, feels like a sports car to me
-the bright colors of all the birds
-my plug in hot water kettle that heats water in seconds for my Milo every day
-Milo (hot cocoa)
-Driving on the left side! Really!  I feel so capable.  Or like a London cabby.
-the word "lovely" - everyone says it all the time - the gas station attendant (who had a "lovely" nose    ring), said, "Have a lovely day!"
