Quick update -- 7/1/12

Friends,


We're doing well here in Melbourne!  So far we've just been focusing on adjusting to the jet lag and learning the layout and transportation of the city.  Yesterday we had a scavenger hunt that had us asking Aussies how to get to different landmarks, jumping on trams, getting lost, and in the process learning more about this awesome city.  Today we checked out a church together and spent a wonderful afternoon at a BBQ with a Christian couple and some students involved in the Cru ministry here ("Student Life").


Tomorrow we head to a conference where we'll be able to meet, worship with, and befriend many of the students involved in Student Life!  This will hopefully enable us to partner with them in outreaches, prayer, evangelism, and fun in the coming weeks!  Please pray for our time at the conference-- specifically for friendships that God will use.


We're coming to the end of our first full day here in Melbourne.  It's already been at times exhausting, overwhelming, emotional, hilarious... basically, you name it.  I think I speak for everyone when I say I can't wait for the next 5 weeks here.


Thanks for keeping up with us, and thanks so much for the prayers!


Jon
