She'll Be Right

Australia is great. Everything is so relaxed and low key. We are having a great time getting to know people and getting to know each other better as a team. We just finished our second week on campus and it was phenominal. We are getting to hang out with students a lot and its so cool just getting to know them.

So much has happened since I last updated, so I won't try to go into it all. But everything is going so well. Our team is having a great time together.

This week, a few of us went to Trivia with some students from Mary White, and we won! It was so much fun, and I think we are going to go back next week and try to win again.

We also got to go out last night for two girls in Mary White's birthdays. It was a great chance to hang out with more students in Mary White and get to be around them and know them better.

This morning I went to watch Netball which is a sport that girls play here. Its similar to basketball, but with way more rules. Mary White played against Drummond Smith and won!

This week a couple of the colleges had coffee and dessert nights as a chance to get to meet some of us Americans. I went to the one at Earle Page, which also had students from Austin and Albies. Gabe and Kendall got to share their testamonies, and I was a great chance to get to meet some of the students outside of the colleges were we have been going.

I have gotten to know a girl named Jess really well. She lives in town with her family and its just been great to get to know her. She is super great and lets us come over a bake in her kitchen, and is so willing to drive us around so we don't have to take the bus to town. We are trying to talk her into coming to visit us in Alabama after she graduates in November.

We are having a great time, and we really appreciate your prayers. Just keep praying for opportunites to hang out with students. And especially for ways that we can serve and encourage the Christians here. The church, St. Mark's Chapel, has been so unbelievably welcoming to us, and we want to be able to serve them as well.
