Hoo-Roo Oz!

Well Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Pakenham anymore. We made it to Sydney yesterday and took a ferry to see the infamous Sydney Harbor. I’ve now seen the Sydney Bridge and Sydney Opera House. The only thing that’s missing is locating P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney. 
Who's ready for some Opera?
Today has been filled with reflection on our time here in Australia and reconnecting with the rest of our Aussie team. I feel like I just arrived in the Land of Oz and it’s already time to head home. As I've continually learned, mission trips aren’t only about me ministering to others, but I always find I’ve been blessed, as well as grown personally and spiritually by the end of the trip. This has been such a learning experience for me, through the good experiences and the bad. It’s been really hard for my impatient self but God’s definitely shown me how to have patience in difficult situations. I can do absolutely nothing on my own, but through Christ I can do anything. 

Tomorrow I’ll begin the long journey home. We’ll leave Sydney Wednesday afternoon and after the longest day ever (37 hours) I’ll arrive back home Wednesday night. Please pray that the Qantas airlines won’t organize their much anticipated strike tomorrow and there will be safe travels for our entire team of thirteen that will be traveling back home.
