My companion and I are the only missionaries in town but hopefully we'll be getting an old couple (Senior Missionaries – probably the same age as his parents) in the next couple of months the Branch really needs some firm leadership. We don’t have a Stake per-say but the Mission President is the one that calls the Branch President and he is also the Presiding Priesthood holder, if that makes sense. The nearest missionaries to us are in Townsville which is a 22 hour drive to the east on the coast. That’s where our District Leader is as well, lol. We're pretty isolated but it doesn't really bother me all that much. I got a good companion and so things are going great. We have a regular building with a small chapel, kitchen, (baptismal) font and a couple of rooms. It is really nice. Only bad thing is that it is in the Aboriginal neighborhood, which is basically the ghetto of town. We call that area the Bronx. lol. I didn't move out of the Brisbane Mission. The Mission covers all of the state of Queensland. it’s just that 80% of the population lives in QLD (near the coast) so that is where most of the missionaries are. My flat is nice and it is just cold because where I sleep and study is right under the AC units and my companion like it cold, so yeah, no worries though.
