Australia

G’day mates! Hello from the country down under.

Just a very quick update for those who are wondering where in the world I am and what in the world I’m doing.

I am currently in Sunshine Coast, which is about an hour drive above Brisbane and a one and a half hour flight from Sydney. Devon and I arrived in Sydney from Thailand the end of May, and spent four nights at YWAM Island Breeze - Sydney. We had a fantastic time of rest there and made some new friends. The weather was a bit dreary but we managed to get out for a day to see the Blue Mountains, (which were beautiful) and do some hiking. After our stay there we transitioned to a friend’s home, one who we met in India. We stayed with his family for about a week, doing lots of sight seeing in Sydney and once again making some more new friends. Sydney is a wonderful city with lots to do, and we got to see most the main attractions such as the Opera House, Circular Quay, Darling Harbor, downtown, Manly Beach, and some other surrounding areas. It was a fun filled time, and we managed to have just enough clear days to see everything.

Devon has moved on to NZ (he flew out a week ago), and I left Sydney early Sunday morning, flying into Brisbane. I’m currently staying with a friend I know from the YWAM days, and have been having an amazing time. It’s beautiful here, with nice beaches, lots of subtropical forest, hiking, views, mountains, small towns, etc. I feel like I’ve been more active this past week than I have in a long time. Between hiking, sight seeing, and hanging out I’ve stayed very busy so far. It’s a wonderful area and I’ve been trying to get the most out of my time here.

I’m keeping this brief and will refrain from going into detail as it would just probably bore most of you. I’ll be heading to NZ towards the end of this month. Needless to say, I’m stoked.

Anyway, sorry for the somewhat scattered update. I would have done this sooner but have not had internet this week until now. I trust everyone reading this is well, and may God bless you.
