Aussie Aussie Aussie-Oi Oi Oi !!!

So, according to my mom--I talk funny now. Maybe it's because I talk like everything is a question ( At least that is how the Aussies talk).



Wednesday Night I organized a girl's night for grades 6 through ages 25. It turned out really well. I tried to make it as close as possible to the ones that we've done back home, just because they have been very special to me. I wanted to bless the girls with encouraging words to let them know how much they are admired by God, just like I have been blessed by women in the church who took the time to care for us. I realize how important girl nights are. They give us time to listen to God with out being distracted. We gave each of them a letter from God, a journal and pen, a crown, an ornament with "Princess of the King of Kings" written on it, and a candle. During our devotional I lit candles and turned all the lights off to have the more intimate setting with God. It was so nice to just be able to talk with God. I assigned them all to a prayer partner. I didn't have this planned out, but I feel like God helped me place them perfectly together. It was amazing seeing the connection between the range of ages. Alayne, my teammate, did a wonderful devotional for the morning and I was blessed by that very much. I think overall the girl's had a great time and I hope that they continue to keep up with their prayer partners and continue to get to know each other. I had so much fun--and I am so glad I got to share that night with them.

There are other things that God has had his hand on, and God has really been speaking through a lot of people and through books, and through his word, through prayer, and preaching. Things have worked themselves out and I have LEARNED so much---

We have a month to go and honestly I can not believe how quickly things have come and gone. I have gotten to know a few people and have had some cool conversations with people. I am so glad I have been able to participate in this opportunity and I have absorbed every minute of it.

I can't explain how much I feel loved. I am so glad I have the assurance that people are praying for me. How cool to think that people are praying across the world for me, and praying that God's work will be done here in Australia.

Love you all and hope I can update again soon.
