Kookaburras in Kings Park!

It’s Sunday and the end of week 10! It was a really good week. We had Rachel McGirr come and speak to us about Lordship, Authority and Submission. It was also the week our outreach fees were due. At the beginning of the week our class needed a total of about $100,000 of fees that had no pledges of support. By Friday that number was down to $7000. God blessed in amazing ways. Thanks to all of you for supporting me. I had almost all of my outreach fees paid for and have pledges for the rest! On Tuesday we had our walk-a-thon. Our whole class walked 12k to help raise the money we needed. We actually walked in our outreach teams. I have a great team (see pic). They are all really creative and a lot of fun. I think we will have a blast in Mexico City working together! We leave in less than two weeks. I still can’t believe how fast the time went and I am excited to go and see what God has for us there. This coming Tuesday the outreach teams that have been there the last month or so are going to have their report back day. I am looking forward to hearing the stories of their time in Mexico City. It will hopefully be encouraging as we will be there soon!

Today I had a chance to go to King’s park which is a big park filled with memorials, restaurants and a botanical garden. It was a lot of fun and such a beautiful park. It is up on a hill and overlooks the whole city. We were able to take a bunch of pictures. We had lunch at a small café that was incredible. I even got to climb a huge tree (see pic). At one point while we were there we took a break on a park bench. I began peeling an orange and all of a sudden a bird came close that was incredibly cute and unique. We found out later it is a Kookaburra bird (see pics). We really wanted it to come closer so we could get a picture of it so I threw it a piece of my orange. Well, he soon was right by me eating my orange peel. He was so cute! I have really enjoyed seeing all the unique wildlife here in Australia! I will miss it when I’m gone for sure. Thanks so much for reading! Have a great week!!
