Home Again, Home Again

Here's a picture of our little house we've been living in with Will and Erin for the last few months. It's a great place to live actually. We are actually having some work done on our bathrooms right now by a Lebanese fellow. Pray for him! David invited him to have a coffe with him this morning and started witnessing to him. He is Islam/Cathlic... Anyway, it was an interesting conversation and we're praying that we'll have more opportunity with him over the coming week as he will be working at our house for a few more days. He has alot of mixed up beliefs from our chat so... Just pray against confussion in him and that the truth of the good news of the kingdom of God would be planted in him. He's in his fifties and has three kids... So background on our fixer upper guys:):) Really, do pray for him if you think of it. Pray we will have the words to speak to him too.

Sydney Botanicle Gardens

After the Opera House we walked around in the Sydney Botanicle Gardens. It was beautiful! They have trees and plants from everywhere there. God's creation is wild! We even got to see some interesting wildlife. The last two pictures you see here have the most creepy. The first is a bunch of bats haning in the trees and the second is a very large spider. He's kind of hard to see but look closely in the very middle of the picture and you will find him. The little dots in his web are his prey. Eck!

MORE of the City

On the bus and over to the Opera House for a visit. Yes, we have touched the Opera House:):) Not that it will matter in eternity but it made us smile.

New Adventures In The City Continued

Here we are in Darling Harbour. It was a beatiful day and we had brunch with Chris and Magali at a little cafe on the harbour. It was really a good time.

Christophe and Magali are wonderful. We can't wait to visit them in Switzerland in the future. Chris pastors a church there and they have taken a year here for training... we just know God has big things in store for them when they get back home. They are pure in heart and we know God will definately honor that and bless them. Pray for them as they head back to Switzerland on July 14th. They are looking at changes they feel God has laid on their heart for the church and they will need the practicle things too like an apartment...

New Adventures in The City

Here's some pictures of our trip into the City this last Monday. We went with our Swis friends Christophe and Magali. I think we drove over the Sydney Harbour bridge 4 times just trying to figure out which exit to take to get us down town. Then the parking cost us $40 for the day. Oofta!!! That's a pretty penny!It was great hang out time though and we got a good tour of the city by getting lost a bit. Christophe was a great driver too, he didn't even seem stressed at all. We were impressed.

Amy - Completely Aussie

Here's a fun picture of my friend Amy. She is awesome!! She's a school teacher here in Syndey who I met while serving in the welcome lounge at church. She's so funny, I was supposed to be meeting new people and she came up and introduced herself to me and a friend...She asked us if we were new. It was great! Anyway, she is completely Aussie. I have to make her say her sentances more than once so that I catch all her Australian slang.

These pictures were taken about a month ago when we had a beading night. I think we sat at the table being crafty for about 8 hours. You can see attached the byproduct of our fun. It's all made out of beads, and shells I picked up with David off the beach. GOOD FUN!

Time Flies By

Hi All

Wow time flies by fast. I feel like I just posted a few days ago but I guess it's been a month.
We're been a really busy couple. David just finished up another term of college so he was in the books and writing like crazy. He god everything in though and we're just waiting on grades. I know they'll be good though. :) Along with school he's been working out at Teen Challenge and loving it. God provided the job just when we needed it!!!! God has been so faithful during our time here in Australia. God is always faithful but it's been a awesome time of really being able to experiance His faithfulness in amazing ways. He's always provided when we didn't know how we were going to get by, he's always given us the people we needed in our life at the perfect time, He's been patient when we were being numb skulls, He's brought us back around when we didn't make the best descisions, He's loved us through our mistakes and taught us His ways through them, HE'S BEEN SO FAITHFUL!!!!!!!!! Yes, I could go on and on but really we are so blessed to be loved by the King and to be called His bride. We're so undeserving but so blessed! God was preparing a way for us before we got here for this time and has been preparing a way for our future while we've been here. And we're so excited about the future. We only have another 9 weeks here in Australia and then we are on to Texas to move David's mom to Alaska, then back down to the lower 48 after Alaska to be a part of Bethel Church in Kentucky. We're so excited about Kentucky! God has been paving a way for us to go there since before we even left Alaska and we're so excited about what God has in store for us there.
Please pray for us in these last couple months in Australia. We want to finish strong here and know we have been incredibly blessed to be here. Pray we will stay focused on what God has for us here in the next few weeks even as we are excited about coming home to the States.
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!
