so sus..

Well we have been on campus a few days! It is so beautiful here, chilly, but comfortable! We have to walk everywhere, but that is wonderful and it warms us up! We got to go the the Australian version of 'step sing' last night and that was so cool. We are already making ground meeting key students to pour into in the colleges (resident's halls) at the uni (university) and the staff here have been serving us soo much!

The people in this town are amazing and I have adored the welcome we have received in the church! The Lord is already doing a lot here, and I am reminded that He does not need me or this team to get His work done, but He has sent us here and I am so thankful that He is equipping us and preparing us to be used to further His Kingdom!

The goodness of the Gospel is that He is the end result, the ultimate prize and our job here is be be immersed in the culture, to meet students, and to build relationships that will glorify the Lord so that they will know Him! Thank you all for your prayers and for your support and getting us here.

I got to get coffee with Nick, an Australian Staff guy, and Courtney Kelly- Courtney Kelley, yesterday at Booloominbah and it was soooo cool! Nick and the staff guys, Steven, Tim, and the Chaplain, Martin have been great to teach us a lot of the differences to watch out for and prepare for in the culture, our histories which influence how both Australians and Americans view the world and religion, and of course some terminology. Some of these include fairy floss=cotton candy, sepo=american, paying out=making fun of someone, sledging=teasing, and sus=suspicious. I love it.

Keep us in your prayers to have fruitful conversations and that our motives will be purely to spread His good news so that the nations would be reached :)

Excited to be Down Under,
Savs
