Home...coast...spring...thanks...love

Oh it feels good to be home! We got back to Adelaide at about 3:30 am on Wednesday morning and it was so good to wake up on the base. We'll be here for 3 weeks and then we pack up again to go to our next outreach location in the North of Australia. But for now it's just good to be home.
We've been doing whatever needs to be done on the base so that the DTS staff can focus all their energy on getting things ready for the school that starts on September 21. Please be praying for them.

I got to see the coast for the first time yesterday! It was so beautiful, still to cold to get in but gorgeous nonetheless. We went out there to fish for some crabs but all we managed to catch was a baby crab and a good time.
Yesterday we also went and looked around Port Adelaide, the location where we hope to start another base at in the next year. Being there, seeing the need, it made me even more excited. There were so many vacant buildings that have been closed down; the pubs, on the other hand, have had no trouble staying in business. But around this area is a lot of poverty and even more potential for ministry. I mention all this so that you know what I'm talking about if I mention Port Adelaide in the future.

Spring is coming here to Adelaide, all the trees are beginning to blossom, and the snakes and spiders are coming out to play. Today during our staff meeting we were given a safety briefing about snakes.....yeah....."that's about all I have to say about that."

Thank you to all those who have been sending me emails with updates about your lives and how you're doing; I absolutely LOVE getting those and it makes me feel way more connected to you all. So thank you!

Well that's about all the news that's going on here right now. Thanks for reading family! Much love!
