One week down, two to go!

Hi all!!

My internet and phone time on outreach is extremely limited! I'm updating this from my phone currently- so bear with me! We have been in Cairns for just over a week now working with Harald's House! We have had the absolute privilege of hanging out with six incredible young people who are residents at the house! It has been so cool getting to know them and just be a family together! We hope to be helping them and sharing God's love, but it's more incredible the blessing and inspiration they are to us. I can't even explain how wonderful they are! God has been good to us for sure! So thanks for your support, I assure you this is an affective outreach!

Okay, and we have the best staff ever! On Saturday night they surprised us by one of our other teams showing up to have a sleepover! We were so stoked to see some of the people from the base that we hasn't seen in awhile! But... It gets better! Then lea asked us what we wanted to do on our day off... We mentioned going to the beach... And she responded : Well that sucks because we already planned for you all to go SCUBA DIVING AT THE GREAT BARRIER REEF! You can imagine the screaming, and hugging and absolute excitement! So Sunday we went on an 8hr snorkel/scuba dive trip! And all the other teams ended up being there as well! So we got to see all our friends and spend the day on the beautiful water- it was incredible!

All in all things are going amazing! However, for those of you who love to prayerfully invest in this, we do have a need for prayer. Due to a big project back at base in Townsville, one of our two leaders had to fly back for a week. It's been a bit hard to lose a team member, especially one of two leaders, and there is also a bit of adjusting that needs to happen. Pray that we would have grace for our leader who is now leading alone, pray that we would step up in Lea's absence and just pray that we continue to keep going well.

Love and miss all of you!
