Week One

Hello! This has been quite a hectic week. It began with a 13 hour flight into Brisbane and has continued with many fascinating events already. On the flight in I was seated next to a girl named Jessica from Duke University and we became instant friends only to realize later that we live very close to one another. After unpacking and taking a short nap I went to explore campus. No, I did not get lost. On my second venture into campus I found the sand volleyball courts and wandered over to them to see if the aussies would let me play and they did! This week I also found a church that I am very excited about! It was so lively and the fellowship surrounded the worshippers. Australian church is quite different than the type of church I am used to: it was more of an informal gathering with just as strong of a message. Jessica and I also took the risk to take public transportationg into 'the city' and found a grand mall full of designer products that were outrageously overpriced but pretty to look at. Anyways, the college grants me very little internet time and this blog seems like the best way to reach many people soI though I would try it out. P.S. I'M IN AUSTRALIA!
