And, if you've ever wondered what hoodies

were for (seeing you never actually

 put them on your heads),

I have the answer!!!!!!!!!

 

 

They are actually for holding your popcorn

FIRST YOUTH MEETING

 

 SAVANNAH WAY BAPTIST

CHURCH

 

 

Well, last night, we had our very first

youth meeting for our church here

in Katherine.

 

After much prayer and looking around,

the Lord provided an amazing venue for us

to meet at, at a very good rate,

right in town, fenced, toilets, lights,

 with a covered play area

and a large field for games.

 

 

 

 

 

God is so good.

 

Dave and I were very encouraged

with how things went last night.

The kids had a great time and

Dave and I learned that we can still

run and play, but we end up

a little sorer than we used to!!

 

 

Cam and Lauren helped out,

and fortunately, Cam did NOT wear

his steel-capped boots, so no

injuries were done to anyone!

 

 

The Lord is working here in Katherine,

and we are blessed to have so many

ministry opportunities opening up to us.

 

 

 

Please pray that we will have wisdom

in knowing what God wants us to be involved

in and how he wants to use us here

for the furtherance of the Gospel.

 

 

I have uploaded a short video for you

to see our first meeting.

 

 

And in other news, we had our first 'real' storm

for the wet season, 22mm, the other night.

It cooled things down for a while

and sounded wonderful.

 

Maddy took this photo of some beautiful,

white, fluffy clouds.

 

 

TASMANIA

 

A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY

 

 

 

A couple of weeks ago, Dave and I took a week long

trip to Tasmania. Yes, on our own. Without the girls!

 

It was freezing cold but we saw some beautiful

scenery and even got to see snow on

top on Mt Wellington! This was Dave's first time

to see snow so it was very exciting! It actually snowed
too! Lightly but still snow!
 

It was also -1 deg, so seeing we weren't dressed

for the occasion, we didn't stay up there too long.

Just long enough for Dave to build his very first snowman!

 

We stayed in some beautiful bed and breakfast accommodation

and ate out at some great restaurants. I drooled over
 all the beautiful historic

buildings and antiques shops, which I wished
I could bring back with me.

I did buy an antique WW1 camera and we brought Emilee

a French Revolution bayonet back to add to her collection.

 

 I took thousands of photos, of course, so instead of

trying to share them on the blog, I have put together a

video/slideshow on YouTube for you all to look at,

if you're interested. I will warn you, it is 14 minutes long

and I challenge any of you to extend your attention spans

to watch the whole thing! It has pretty music, if that helps.

 

Just click on the link below to take you there.

We didn't see any Tasmanian devils, but we saw

lots of rabbits! The top temperature was 18 deg,

but amazingly, we acclimatized pretty quickly even

though it was 40 deg when we left Katherine!

 

Well, enjoy the photos!
