Joshua 1:9

I have to apologize for not posting for several days. Since I have been in a few places after leaving Kirra's house On Monday morning, my mind has not been here. I am also recovering from coughing, scratchy throat, aches and pains and so on since Tuesday. It's good to report that I am doing better! It sticks when you're sick on a campaign.  Anyway, that's not what's important! Here is what we've done the past few days! Enjoy! :)

The group played mini golf! There is a teenage boy in the church here, Tim, that loves playing miniature golf and he invited us.

Above: Katy is ready for a hole-in-one and Kyle is just being Kyle.

Madison is blurry, Salomon decided to look down, BUT Joe is showing his pearly whites! 

Me, Emily, Kyle, Chloe, Salomon, Jonno, and Marcus riding the bus to Canberra on Thursday.

This is where parliament meets. We got to sit on them arguing. 

We couldn't bring anything in with us, so no pictures.

The entrance hall. Pretty cool.

Me and Katy on the roof of the parliament building.

A view from the roof.

This is in a Veterans Memorial that we visited in Canberra.

Tonight we hosted a Mexican dinner for all our wonderful host families. The night was a blast.  

Tif and Katy cooking!

Chloe and Emily baking the famous Goff cherry cobbler! YUM!

Kyle, Chloe, Jonno, and Salomon most likely listening to Kent. HA! :)

Salomon, Katy, Marcus, and Chloe doing a great job serving dessert.

We have had a great time here in Campbelltown. We only have a few days left and we're gonna make the most of them! Since I was sick the past few days, I missed out on helping with the after school program on Wednesday and a good dinner that night, but it's alright. In the morning, we are having Super Saturday which is like mini VBS over the good Samaritan. We have planned some games, crafts, story time, skits, and more. I hope it is a success. I will leave you with this verse: 

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.  --  Joshua 1:9

It's on a bracelet that Vanessa gave Emily and I both before we left for Australia and wanted everyone to read some encouraging words.

Emily and I are headed to bed now. Goodnight for Campbelltown!
