A Reoccurring Theme and for that I Apologize!

So I have noticed that it consistently seems to be about a week in between every time I write a little update on here! I sometimes forget that I have been here as long as I have been already and that you all like to know what is going on . . .

The reason that I have not really been posting on here is because we have just been on the base but that doesn't mean nothing is happening . . .We still do not know where we are going to go for outreach yet but hopefully this will happen soon! And when it does I will let everyone know as soon as possible, Ill post it on here and tell all about it, Ill make it my facebook status, and Ill even email some of you Immediately . . .

For what I do know though I will tell you, God has been moving in amazing ways in my life. Through lectures, life, and culture I have learned so much in my time here already. We have talked about Clear Conscience, Relationships, and Currently The Father Heart of God in lectures. I have learned heaps about Australian culture (so much so that I used the term heaps right there without even thinking!) and I have just learned a lot about life! About how it is more about the attitudes you choose everyday that make the difference. As well as just living in each day and learning in each day and how not take the day given to you for granted but to enjoy each day and try your hardest about not worrying about tomorrow!

I also want to talk a little about the outreach we are getting to do each week while we are right here on base! Every week we have a family night BBQ that is open to the community and it is fun to get to watch all the different kids and families come in and just get to talk to them and watch them open up! And the same with YouthStreet, for 9 hours every saturday we get the opportunity to speak love into kids lives . . .It is amazing at just remembering a kids name the next time you see him how it can light up their face and how each week they open up more and more as you just create a relationship with them! And these are kids that dont come from the greatest homes and we are the only gospel a lot of these kids ever get the chance to read!!! Thats pretty heavy . . .It is a little sad to me that I had to travel half way around the world to learn these simple concepts of life and how to just be a better person but you know things work out in silly ways!!!

I thank all of you for your prayers and your support and please feel free to get a hold of me personally through email (johnboyd9@gmail.com) or through Facebook if you want to chat about anything or have any questions!

Cheers mates and I will be posting some new pics either sunday or monday to show a little more of the town, some friends, more of the base, footy at the beach, and pictures from youthstreet. You want to see them? Well be my facebook friend then! But I will still post one or two rads here as well!

Love and Light,

J.
