Island Breeze Australia
I've made it safely to Australia. The plane rides were long but no major delays. I'm currently staying at Island Breeze YWAM base in Brisbane, the location that I did my outreach two years ago with YWAM. I've been enjoying catching up with old friends and making new ones. The base staff are almost all of island background (Fiji, Tonga, PNG, Samoa)....It feels like home! Currently I am helping prepare for a fundraising event and concert scheduled for November 14th called 'Save Samoa'. I've been preparing letters requesting donations and performers for the event. It's nice to be able to help out on the base while I stay here. The base is nice, kangaroos roam free and I've seen one koala in the tree so far. Australia is always fun because everything seems so 'familiar' and yet I can walk into the mall and not recognize one store. I'm adapting to the few word differences such as 'trolley' instead of shopping cart, 'lolli' instead of candy, 'mobile' instead of cell phone, and phrases such as 'full on' and 'good day'..... Thanks for all the prayers ! I will try and get a few pictures to post sometime next week! God is good, all the time....
