Oh my gravy, Australia....

I'm getting really excited for going to Australia. Moriah Hurst (the lady we're staying with in Canberra) emailed us the other day saying that all the young adults/college students were really excited that we were coming. Knowing that there are people in Canberra, excited for me to live there feels amazing. I've already made so many good friends here in a week, Australia can only be better.

My team spoke to Moriah over Skype last week. I was thrilled to hear we are getting host families for at least three months. It will give us the opportunity to completely engulf ourselves into Australian culture. It will be fantastic!

Today we went to the Christian Peacemaker Team's headquarters. We stuffed newsletters with envelopes, taped them shut and then addressed them. It was a long, repetitive task, but with my housemates it was fun.

Thank you to everyone who cares enough to read about what I'm doing and everyone back home praying for me. I know I would not be doing so well without your support.
