I'd like to apologize about the lack of updates. I have few opportunities to get on the internet and keep everyone in the loop.

This week, we have started to go to the campuses for evangelism. Oh, and they are flat out gorgeous! It would be impossible to explain what's happening in my heart right now, but the Lord has already done so much since Monday, when we first started sharing at the universities. The more times I approach people, share my faith, and get to relate to students on a personal level; the more comfortable I am with all this missionary stuff! :)

On Tuesday, a few of my teammates and I went to a different university that Student Life (the Christian club) has never set foot on. As pioneers, we set up an info booth at their orientation day and walked around and had great conversations. That was a difficult day. People's hearts, here in Australia, have really been hardened to the gospel. However, I got to have very engaging spiritual conversations with people of really diverse beliefs. Needless to say, it has been exhausting! But it is SO worth it!

I have been learning a ton about ministries and the Lord's grace. He has been answering my prayers and working big things in the hearts of the lost. I know that incredible things are happening, even if I can't quite see the outcomes yet. All I can say is God is so good!

Australia is such an amazing country! I wish I could explore more of it, but the Great Commission sort of beats out adventuring in the outback. Sorry family back home, but I am most likely coming back here later on for a more extended stay.

Prayer requests:
My team and I would love prayer for boldness and sustained emotional energy from the Holy Spirit.
Also, please pray for the lovely individuals we have met so far, that they will be open to the gospel and maybe even welcome Jesus into their lives!

Oh! The family is going to our first Aussie footy game! Oy oy oy!

Cheers
