Hey everyone... Im sure no one even looks at my blog anymore.. considering I never post on it!! But Im here now to update ya'll on my little adventure... It is going fantastic... I have about 6 weeks left until i come home... I am on major outreach right now.. Sitting in a computer room in Darwin Australia... we have been here for almost a month already..its crazy how the time flys... I feel like it was just yesterday when i was waiting in anticipation to come here to Australia... But outreach is great.. for the first 10 days we did this thing called "Impact Summer" where youth from all over Darwin came to the YWAM base for a 10 day camp.. let me tell you.. it was the first ever Impact Summer to ever be ran in Darwin and the first time for me to staff anything and it was such a success... it blows me away... I saw soo many kids truely give their lives to the Lord.. and thats what I do... I love the youth and Im here to encourage them to make that commitment..it was so powerful... Then this last week my team and I went to this little tiny town called Mandorah.. to help this family do some work around their house and the church they own.. The church is located in an Aboriginal community called Belyuen.. 6 of us went to the church and the others stayed back at the house... they built a fire ring and a nice long trail to have quiet times on.. and me and my crew painted a room in the church.. now this church is really old and ratty looking.. but we made this one room look so amazing.. it honestly brought tears to my eyes... I loved being out in Mandorah.. the quietness and peacefulness just took my breath away.. it gave me a chance to sit and meditate on Gods love and to see a few Kangaroos... LOL... and the family was amazing.. they made us feel right at home!!!
We have one more week in Darwin and we will be going to another Aboriginal Community called Bagot... this community is a little less chaotic then Belyuen.. so its a little easier for us to do our work... Then on Sunday of next week we will be getting on another plane to fly to Perth then get on a bus and go to Geraldton to see Impact World Tour... its going to be RAD.. thats the only word I can think of to express what it will be like.. we'll be in Geraldton for a week 1/2 and then go to Mount Isa for two 1/2 weeks and then back to Townsville for a week.. and IM OUTA HERE!! lol.. back home for only a short time..
I cant even express to you guys how much this school has made a difference in my life.. I can honestly say that Im not the same Amy that left Menahga Minnesota.. The day I left will be a day I would never want back... Thank you guys for all your support and I want to give a HUGE, MASSIVE thank you to Kayla Stelzer... You honestly dont know how much you touch my life.. just by the little acts of love you show me.. thank you so much and God bless you...
Well I hope you all enjoyed my long update... sorry its taken me so long... i love and miss you all back home.. take care of yourselves..
God bless you immensely
