Back in Brisbane... For a day.

Well after 3 weeks on the road, I'm back at YWAM Brisbane for a day. We were in Airlie Beach for two weeks, as I shared before, and in a small town about seven hours inland called Roma. It's definitely a country town. It reminded me a lot of Texas. The town is known for its cattle sales. It hosts the largest cattle sale in the Southern Hemisphere. Pretty impressive. Even though I didn't get to witness the exciting cattle sale, I did get to do some pretty amazing things last week. We stayed at the small Church of Christ in Roma and worked out of the church all week. We did some door to door surveys for the churches in Roma. We asked questions like, "What is the greatest need in this community?" And "How can new churches help grow the community?" We talked to some amazing people and got some very helpful answers. We gave these surveys to the town pastors to use as try continue to bless Roma. We went to some schools and led some Religious Education classes, which was so fun! The kids are always so fascinated that we are from all over the world. It's pretty funny. We taught our class on Joy. And what joy looks like in everyday life. I think the kids got a lot out of it! It was a great day. We led two youth groups on Friday night as well. It went great too! I led worship, which went good. Then we got to pray for the kids, which was a powerful time. Overall, it was a great night! We arrived back yesterday, around noon, and we leave tomorrow morning at 8:00. We're heading to Stratbroke Island. It's off the coast of Brisbane. We'll be having lectures on Spiritual Warfare and roughing it as well. From what I hear it's a pretty memorable week. We'll find out what that means! I'm excited. I won't have my computer or phone all week, so I'll let you guys know how it goes when I return next weekend. Thank you so much for supporting me. I wouldn't be here without everyone supporting me! It's a true blessing. Much love! Oh and by the way, Happy Late Thanksgiving! Haha!
