Team Members

I forgot to mention that I also receive the list and photos of my team members a couple of weeks ago. There are 13 girls and 4 boys between the ages of 13 and 18. We also have one couple and 3 female leaders. If I can find the sheet I will scan it and post the image so you can see them. I am the only person from Victoria, there are two sisters or twins (not sure which) and two girls from New Zealand. Most people are from New South Wales or Queensland, there is one leader from Western Australia and one boy from the Northern Territory. Thats all I can think of to tell you about my team (partly because that is about as much as I know, other than names, but I doubt a list of names would mean much to you.)

Just 12 days to go!!

Sorry I have taken so long to add a new post. Things just keep getting busier and busier and I am starting to feel a bit stressed. Anyway, 2 weeks until I leave! I have until next Saturday to pack. Most of my stuff is already packed, but I have 2 dresses to make before then! I finished cutting them out on Thursday and some of the pieces are pinned together I just need to meet with the lady who is helping me make them and sew them up. The only problem is that my machine is busted, so hopefully I can use hers or find one that works!

I have been receiving regular emails from the family that moved to Lomani Au last month. It sounds like preparations are coming along well but there is still stuff that needs to be done before they can accept children from Welfare. There has been a lot of rain since the second week they have been there.The Feilds are only there for 3 months which means they will leave not long (being a few days) after we return to Brisbane for debrief.

I have got half of my stuff packed and labeled already,but I am wishing all of that could be done so I don't have to worry about that. I have almost reached the full amount of money that I need and I am praying that the last couple of hundred that I need will come soon. I appreciate you prayers and ask that you continue to pray that I will peace and not become too stressed. I would also very much appreciate receiving letters from while I am away.
