Aussie




I'm just hanging out in Australia for the time being right now. As some of you know, I have been medivacced out of Vanuatu. I had a little medical incident and they have no such thing as good hospitals there. No worries though, it's nothing serious, and I should be returning to bush life shortly. In the mean time, I'm just trying to enjoy my modern lifestlye here in Brisbane. When I first got here it was a little overwhelming though. Seeing so many white people was a little scary, not to mention all the cars flying around and big buildings. But now I am really enjoying things like talking English to everyone (even though some Aussies don't sound like they are talking back in English), eating McDonald's and pizza, using an internet that works well, sleeping in a nice bed, drinking milk, eating chocolate icecream, and being CLEAN! Hot showers just can't be beat. I've also gotten to wear blue jeans and a sweater. Being in cooler weather feels great. I know I shouldn't get used to all of these nice luxuries though. I've only been without them for 3 months or so, and I've got 24 months left without them.

Nathan,
Just want you to know that you have a part in my daily prayers...not just after your medical problem but every day as you are "out there".
