Currently in Perth, Australia!

So yeah, here I am in Perth and it's incredible! We're staying at the YWAM base here. One of the largest YWAM bases in the world with over 300 staff and students. For those of you who know them I have met Debbie Coe-Adams and her husband Chris here and she says hello to Parkdale.
Saturday night was the Austalian day of Thanksgiving, orignated 2 years ago by the indigenous people of Australia to give thanks to God for all he's given them. How coool is that! We definitely got a taste of true Aussie pride and culture with song and dance and chant! They sure know how to show God their love and worship of Him.
Today being Monday we went into town to do some yardwork and painting at a girls youth hostel. It was good to get my hands dirty again I have to say. We return tomorrow to finish then we leave for South Africa Wednesday morning.
Tonight we walked to a nearby island kangaroo reserve to see if we could spot any. Despite the complete darkness I managed to get some awesome pictures of some babies that let us get within inches of them as they were blinded by our headlamps. What an awesome experience.
Well, YWAM Perth certainly has tons of ministry opportunities to look at and I have been inquiring into some of them myself. As I continue this awesome journey I would ask for your continued prayers as I pursue God's will for my future, wherever it may take me.
Well, that's all for now. When next I write it will probably be from Johannesburg, SA! Love and blessings!

Well, Lecture phase is completed! In just a few short hours I will be in Perth Australia for 6 days of Aboriginal outreach then off to Africa for 2.5 months of ministry and outreach. So very exciting!
School has been amazing. I'm taking so much more knowledge of God and His Word with me as well as a deeper relationship with our incredible Father!

Thanks for all of your incredible support, the encouraging emails and all the awesome prayers.! It made all the difference to my experience here!

Forgive me if this page doesn't get updated very regularly while I'm on Outreach. I'm not sure of my access to internet during this time. But thanks for following me along this journey thus far! Til August! P.S. check out the school picture at the link!
