1. My ministry team: I feel like I have just related to them a lot and God has really just let me fit in easily with them. They are a great source of encouragement and strength, especially when ministry gets tough.
(I will get a picture of our whole team soon...there are 5 of us, AJ, Keryn, Andrew, Amelia, and me!)
2. My church: The messages they give seriously hit me every week. The people there have been a huge source of encouragement and I am going to try to get more involved with them.
3. My house! I seriously feel like God really brought our house together in such an amazing way. I am living with Jess who is from athletes in action which is a branch of Campus Crusade and Ricardo, who is actually a mutual friend's brother who works with the Australian navy. We all just have had this vision for a house to be God centered and be able to host people who need places to stay.We have seriously grown to be like a family and it has been so great to be encouraged and challenged in my faith daily by them. These last two weeks we had a friend Steph stay who is from South Africa. It was so awesome to get to know her and we had some crazy fun times with her. But yeah, I feel like God has really blessed the church we live in and we are constantly busy having people over for dinner, breakfast, or whenever throughout the day!
So here are 2 stories from the house that just bring joy and laughter to my life and a small view into our daily lives where I live.
1. My housemates and I bought a ceramic duck the very first day we moved in....His name is Neville and he is awesome! :) He changes his appearance every few days....currently he is looking like this...
He also decides to move around the house and scare people as well. But yes he brings great joy to our lives!
2. Also with my housemates, Steph and a few friends, we decided to build a sweet fort. The fort quickly turned into a massive pillow war/battle! It was an epic fun time though! :) Here are a couple pics before the fort was destroyed and after the battle...

So yeah, there are 2 crazy stories from our house, but seriously I just want to shout out and say how blessed I am to be living where I am...I will put a video of a tour of our house soon, but God has seriously just blessed the place where I am at. I am living in a church, so we have this whole building that we can use to have people over and be able to serve in ministry! (We will soon be hosting a sweet hip hop party with break dancing competitions, a half pipe skating ramp in our basement, and just lots of fun and laughter...stay tuned!)
So yeah, I feel like God has seriously blessed me more then I could imagine and just thought I would share with you and give Jesus the glory of just really taking care of me while I have been overseas! :)
