The Saddest News Ever...

Don’t you love being sick? No one does. But I was sick on Thursday and Friday with a cold where I could hardly breathe and my eyes were constantly watering. Nice. It’s funny how sometimes God uses our sickness to spend time with us. Missing out on lectures on Fear of the Lord sucked. But hearing from God and reading His word was nothing short of awesome.

2 weeks ago we learned about Spiritual Warfare. Scary business, but a good scary. Apparently our leaders weren’t satisfied with what was taught and felt there should be more application stuff so we are returning to the subject sometime soon. My small group leader and mentor person had to go to Perth to get some more training under her belt. We miss you Natalie. Last week as I mentioned before is about Fear of the Lord. I don’t think I ever really understood what FOTL was, but now I have a clear understanding and a new look on it. That’s one good thing about DTS (hint hint Shanice).

Last weekend a few of us went to the beach. Oh how beautiful. Since they don’t celebrate Halloween here, a friend and I went and bought some candy for ourselves. Down here it’s not called candy, it’s called lollies. Anyways, on Tuesday it was 38 degrees. Super hot. Then Wednesday and Thursday were nice and cool. Probably about 25 degrees and cloudy.

This weekend that just past heaps of people off our base headed up to Sydney for some sightseeing and a Hillsong live album recording. For those of you who don’t know who or what Hillsong is, it’s a church in Sydney that has world famous worship bands. It was stinking awesome and I am stoked for this album to come out. Heaps of good songs for camp!

Tuesday nights are outreach prep nights. This week we just prayed and asked God where/what He would like us to do in our locations. So there still isn’t a set plan for New Zealand yet. All I know is flights are cheap, Lord of the Rings and Narnia were filmed there and there is a sick music festival we might be working at there. It’s called Parachute music festival. Check it. Underoath, Family Force 5, Hillsong United, Parachute Band a few others! I hope it works out.

Anyways, for outreach, I still need some more money so next week we are working on support stuff. I will be sending out more support stuff because I am a tad bit short for outreach. If you don’t go to Celebration, and you would still like to support me, you can give a cheque or cash to my dad or go online to www.ywamnow.com and support me from there.

Paulina and other The Hills fans and people who know what The Hills is: You remember my friend, Katie, who knows Uncle Jesse/John Stamos? Well she also used to be super good friends with Lauren and that other girl from The Hills name. The H one I think. Super sick, I know.
People who listened to or know of the 90’s all girl band Dream: The dance ministry leader used to be in it! She worked with P Diddy. Get this, there she is on Wikipedia. Check it. Her first name is Kasey and last name is Sherdon or something like that and her new last name is Russel.

For people who love Jay and the Lovebirds and for people who are wondering what the saddest news ever is: The rumors are true. Dougie is a now a one man show. RIP JATLB. L Worst news I’ve received since being here. I actually go into a deep depression thinking about how they are done. Hopefully Dougie will continue writing amazing songs and get new members. Perhaps Jamey Martin? Haha just kidding, but seriously... When I return to my homeland, I will be hosting a shindig in remembrance of Jay and the Lovebirds. We will be mourning the loss of this great band and playing great music all night.

To all facebookers: I am deeply sorry I have lacked on putting up pictures. The internet is slow as and my cord is on its way. It’s probably in the airplane right meow.

Love you guys and miss you tons. Can you believe I’ve already been gone a month? A whole month. For me it has flown by. I hope it has for you too.
