1. Using Soularium for evangelism. Soularium is a set of pictures and we talk to people and have them explain to us what their life is like and who God is through pictures. It has been really fun to hear how people relate to this and it has brought some really oil conversations.
2. Cooking: Tonight I made a butternut squash soup. It turned out really good and was actually really fun to make. I haven't really enjoyed cooking in the past, but I have really started to like making new recipes.
3. Worship: So last thursday night during our weekly meeting I played the djembe (a drum thing) and it was really fun. I have never played an instrument before, but it was a random and fun experience. :)
These are three new random experiences of this week and it has been fun. :)

2 Week Update
Hello and greetings to all!
I am sorry I have been out of touch the past couple weeks! I want to update you briefly on what has been happening!
First, I want to thank all of you for your prayers for Connexions, it came off really good! I have heard many stories of students who grew closer to Jesus from that weekend. It was a very tiring weekend for me, but extremely fun to work behind the scenes of a conference and have it pull off! :)
The week following Connexions was our last week on campus before our week long Easter break. This week went really well and we had our largest weekly meeting yet. It is cool to see how God is really building momentum among the students and how the movement is really growing.
Once that week finished we had a week long Easter break, so this is time where we were off campus. I spent the first part of break in Sydney visiting friends which was a nice way to relax and rejuvenate for a few days. After 5 days in Sydney, I came back to Newcastle and we had a 3 day staff retreat. This was a great time for us to get to know our teammates better and spend some quality time hanging out as well as discussing the movement and our time on campus.
We have just started back on campus today and it was really good to be back on campus at work again. I was able to talk to a girl today who I am meeting up with again for coffee on Thursday. She has been going to church, but has a lot of questions and is really seeking community. It is fun to be meeting up with students again and am excited for the rest of this semester!
Thanks for all your prayers, encouragement, and support! It is fun to share with you what God is doing here in Newcastle!
