Hey everyone! i decided its about time to update my blog again! this week is a pretty intense week of lecture. Loren and Darlene Cunningham are here. for those of you who don't know them. Loren is the guy who felt God's calling and started YWAM (Youth With a Mission) 50 years ago. And Darlene is his wife. Everyone who has done any type of DTS (decipleship training school) has to read the book "Is that really you, God?" which i think is a highly recommended for anyone to read if your looking for a book. it is very good! But anyways we (all 750 students and staff on base) are celebrating 50 years of YWAM. our schedule is basically wake up and at 8:30am start our lecture and it goes till about 10:30pm with occasional breaks for tea, lunch and dinner. Except today! Today was Australia Day for all Australians. it's just like America's 4th of July. So we all went to the park and there were fair rides, bands playing, markets, and everything else and of course fireworks!! It was a really good time! I am putting pictures up on facebook so check them out! That's about all thats going on here. OH! right across from our base is a soccer stadium. and Sean Kingston! Shaggy! and Lauren Hill was there for a concert. we were all in class so we didnt get to see them but we got to here them during our breaks! so that was pretty exciting!
Ok i know some of you are wondering what the address is for sending me letters. so here it is!
PO BOX 8501
Perth business centre
Western Australia 6849

Have a blessed day!

Hey all! Sorry for not updating this until now. But I wasn’t able to get internet until today. I arrived in Australia Friday morning at about 2:30am my leaders told me to just sleep in and not go to class. But I only got 3 hours of sleep that night so I decided I was going to go anyway. And I am so glad I did! My first lecture experience was amazing! My speaker had me hooked the entire time! He talked about the character of God. I really enjoyed it a lot. After class my leader and I went out to go play some football. While I was doing that I managed to break my thumb! If you know me well enough that’s no surprise! Haha. After that me and 3 others went to the city just to get some things for school, while we were there, there was a street performer and me and Dan who is from England got chosen to be a volunteer. What we had to do was first copy everything he did. From moving body parts to screaming at the top of our lungs. Then we had to hold a girl who was also a volunteer then we had to kiss her on the cheek! Yes I know! My first day in Australia I kissed an Australian! I had no choice! Lol Next we had to stand facing each other with our arms crossed and Bruce (the performer) ran and jump up onto our arms and stood on us. While he was standing on us he juggled 15 inch knifes. He was good! Yesterday was Saturday and the whole group went to Fremantle. The leaders just wanted to show us how to get there so we could go anytime we want. Once we got there we all split up and went and did our own thing. While we were walking around the city, guess who we saw… the street performer! And JB a guy I was with got chosen to be a volunteer. It was pretty funny and Bruce recognized me and made a few jokes. Later on Josh who is my fellow American from Wisconsin and I bought a boomerang and decided to try it out. The first few throws were ugly! But after a little while I started to get the hang of it! The boomerang went about 60-70 feet. And occasionally came right back to us! It was a lot of fun! that’s about all that has happened here so far. The weather is very hot! Today it is about 125 degrees. This year is a record breaking summer for hot weather. And its not close to being done yet. J thanks for checking out my blog!
