Let me tell you, Australia has some interesting bugs/animals. It seems like everything jumps, thankfully we haven’t seen the jumping rats just heard about them.
Australia has been our ‘manual labor month’ so I’m sorry for the lack of blogs this month. Our days have been full of either kitchen duty, cleaning patient rooms, sorting rotten vegetables/milk, laundry, office work, going to the farm, or construction. Our evenings have been filled with youth groups, worship and prayer nights with the residents, evening church meetings, and movie nights for the kids. I’ve also helped out with kids church on Sunday. All of our meals are provided by the center so they are a great time for building relationships and ministering to the residents.
We will be working at the Christian Outreach Center until Sunday, April 3rd. From here we’ll have a mini debrief with the rest of the squad. They will be rising up new squad leaders and therefor there’s going to be team changes… We’ll catch a flight on Tuesday to Singapor then bus to our 4th country, Malaysia. Here are some pictures from our month in Australia. Internet is horribly slow and my blog keeps getting deleted so I wasn’t able to upload all the pictures:

As many of you are probably aware, there has been an earthquake in Mai Sai, Thailand. Mai Sai is where we worked with the Burmese children our first month in Thailand. Please keep Mai Sai and our beloved children in your prayers.
