What am I doing here?

So I noticed the other day that all my updates have been about finances so I just want to update you on what I am doing here. I have maped out my scehule before for you so you don't need to know my weekly breakdown I'll just highlight a few events.

For example, Pearl Jam came to Perth just a few weeks ago it was a huge event, most YWAMer's where in trees all around the stadium, I on the otherhand was IN THE FRONT ROW it was Amazing I was jumping and singing my heart out and then the unthinkable happened I was pulled up on stage isn't that awesome!.... ok I am lieing ha... pearl jam did come here and most YWAMer's did climb the trees around the stadium to catch a peek but I had made a 4.5hr treck up north With my pal roommate Nathan to his home town Geralton the night before. He was there to do a prep corse for a STAT test (kinda like the S.A.T.'s in the states) so while he was in his corse I was suposed to do my weekly journal, that lasted all of an hour and a half then his mom and younger siblings came around and I ended up spending the day with them checking out historic monuments, going grocery shoping, hanging out at their cousins house peting horses and holding pythons, it was a riot. Nathan is the oldest he has 3 younger siblings two sisters 8years and 4 years and a brother 6. By the time we got back home Nate was waiting around for me, we headed over to his friend Hana's place where I met Nathan(#2),Hanah and Brodie. Hanah Nate brodie and I headed to the beach then we all went for a little off roading climbing sand dunes with nates 4x4 that was great.
when we Got back I being a creature of the night was raring to Go but nate was about ready to keel over so he headed home and I stuck around to watch the movie FireProof (GREAT MOVIE) then crashed at there at Hanah and Nathan's place. Went to church with in Geralton where I was introduced to the whole congration by standing up and saying where I was from(seems to be an ausi thing) church was good simillar to home just smaller.
after church we all headed to the beach to play volley ball, I never had so much fun, if there is one thing I have learned so far it is that the fear of man can realy muck things up so to move in the oppisite spirit is to Kick the Fear of man in the *cough* teeth sorta speak.

anyways there's just one of my adventures so far please feel free to drop me a line and hey I hope this ain't to boreing I just kinda write what comes out of my head so its kinda word diarrea sometimes. so before I say to much more, Have a good one
God bless
and feel free to respond

G'day mates,
Today marks two weeks that I have been here at YWAM perth. I have been verry busy starting every weekday with excercise at 6:00 am and finish most days with some school activities around 7:30 pm. we have lectures everyday from 8:30 to 12. the first week was on "Hearing God's Voice" and this past week was on "The Charecter and Nature of God" . I have a Journal due every week on the topic and also 3 book reports due this quarter. So yea keeping me quite busy :)
I also want to thank all of you for your support both financially and in prayer it has really been amazing to see God provide in such amazing ways, for example 2 weeks before I came here I had $1,500.00 to my name and within those two weeks $3,400.00 came in in donations so after paying my lecture costs and a few added expences I now have $1,000.00 to put towards my second half! I am so excited! I will be finding out the cost of my outreach soon and it will be due on december 9th.
so yea I'm having a blast and will be blogging most of what I update on a by weekly basis as well as random thoughts and stories I have right here so i hope you Enjoy
