A Quick bit of Info. :)

Australian vs. American

Toilets - Bathrooms/restroom

"How you goin'?" - "How are you"

Kilometers, Celsius - Miles, F

wrong side of the road - right side of the road

"Sticky beak" - nosy, someone who doesn't mind their own business

American vs. Dutch

"goose bumps" - "ant's tits" yes I did just say that


p.s. at some point (or so they say) I get the chance to shoot (meaning kill by bullet!) a kangaroo... dunno how I feel about that.

p.s.s. I met someone who had never seen snow... ok maybe not that unusual for Australians but weird for me so I thought I'd share :)


Prayer Requests:

God's really been putting the theme "freedom of fear" on my heart. My dear John challenged me before I left to look into the difference between fear and conviction. These two words and this topic has popped up in many different settings including my alone time with God, worship, a study (intended for some street kids (ages 11-13)), and many other places. Please pray that God will continue to reveal the means of these topics to me and that I will be open to learning about and letting go of my many fears.

2 Timothy 1:7
"For God has NOT GIVEN us a spirit of fear; but of power, love, and sound mind."

I love you all!!!

God Bless,
