G'day mates!! hello all the way from Australia!!!

first and foremost, i would like to thank everyone who has prayed for me over the past days! i really, really, REALLY appreciate it!!! and i defiantly felt your prayers! i saw God work in miraculous and obvious ways on my trip here. it was soo cool to see God work in a tangible way! everything from stopping a storm in atlanta so i could take off (the captain said it would be hours, but about 10 minutes after i called and texted everyone to start praying, a window of oppertunity occured and the storm died down just enough for us to take off..) to turning engine trouble into a one day vacation in hawaii, to last minute avaliblity on a plane to Gold Coast from Sydney. and those are just the highlights! God did a MILLION big and small things on that trip to let me know that HE was in control and HE wanted me to make it to australia. it was really awesome to see him work in such dramatic ways and by the end of the trip, i wasn't even worried about using an australian pay phone or running to my gates because i knew God would make a way. thank you SO much for your prayers!

i really like it here at Gold Coast! i love all the YWAM staff! they all have cute accents and are very willing to help and very understanding. they all have such passion for God and its such a refreshing environment to be in.

right now there are seven DTS students, myself included. three girls and four boys, but we might be getting another girl next week. so far i get along with everyone and we all enjoy hanging out and getting to know eachother.

anyway, i'll post some stories of my adventures later! but i just wanted to let you all know i'm safe and i'm enjoying myself and God is doing mighty things in my life! thanks so much for your prayers! i still need them! i love and miss you all!
