And We're Off!

Tomorrow we begin our minor outreach!   We have to be ready to go by 5am so needless to say it is going to be an early morning.  From there we have a 12 hour van ride to Gladstone where we will be putting on AusLife which I believe I explained in my last post.  I can't believe that we have already pretty much finished the lecture phase of school and are finally getting to start on outreach.  Our minor outreach is 3 weeks and then we have 3 weeks of lectures and then it is a 6 week outreach.  

This past weeks lectures were by Dean Sherman and he spoke on spiritual warfare.  It was actually a lot about relationships (he spoke 5 times as much on relationship than Steve who's topic was relationships) and how everything starts falling apart when relationship falls apart.  Dean spoke for the first 3 days and then one of the school leaders on base, Shea, did the last 2 days of lectures.  

Summer has definitely arrived in Townsville!  It has been quite hot and humid and even at night you can still be in shorts and a tank top and still be warm if not hot.  At 8 o'clock in the morning today it was 74 degrees fahrenheit with 85% humidity....this is their almost spring weather.  Thank the Lord that we will be down South on outreach for most of the next 12 weeks.

I will try to be posting every so often during the next 3 weeks but I am not too sure what my schedule will be like.

Prayer requests:  -- Energy!  We will be super busy with not a lot of sleep.
-- Unity within the team.
-- For the kids that we will be teaching and hanging out with.

Thank you all so much for your love and prayers!

Our big social event is going to Woolys....the grocery store.

Wolverine joined our DTS!  His civilian name is Grant. 

We had some fun camping, there were a few amazing sing-offs that happened.

We defeated the mountain!  This was a very last minute trek, I had just gotten out of the shower and Jacen says, "Hey Selah want to come on a hike? Please?"  I went and turn into a massive sweat and dirt ball by the time we reached the top, it was worth it though.  Oh and I saw a brown snake.
