I am now 65 days away from flying to Brisbane! Yesterday we went and got my forms signed by a Justice of the Peace at the police station, now most of my forms are completed. I am having some troubles with flights but hopefully that will get sorted out. Money is not my main issue now, everyone has been incredibly generous and I have reached the $3000 mark! Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed, especially those who have been praying for me and I ask that you pray I won't get so focused on all of the planning that I lose sight of the reason I am going.
Last week I was on work experience and I met a wonderful lady, after talking to her in the kitchen for a few hours I told her about the trip. She stopped me mid-sentence and said that she had some money that she had asked God to use for his work and she would like to give me some money towards my trip. I found it so amazing that some one who I had only met that day was willing to give me a couple hundred dollars towards something I had only briefly explained. I wonder how many people would be willing to do that in a world where possessions seem to define a persons value; it is so easy to forget about the reality of eternity because we can't presently 'see' it. That day I also made a friend and learned a lesson.
I will have more updates soon.
