February!

I can't believe how quickly time flies around here. I feel like every time I go to write these things, way too much has happened and I can't fit it all into one post!! Everything has been going really well though. Last week, our base director spoke on the topic of clear consciences and how vital that is to maintaining healthy and lasting relationships with the people around us and with God. It brought up a lot of stuff from peoples' pasts and it was humbling to hear them share about their struggles. It was another week of crying, which hopefully will be easing up soon hahaha. But I learned a lot about myself and it brought all of us here that much closer after sharing that week together. I celebrated my 19th birthday a few days ago and it was a blast!! It was a long day of lectures, but it was a great day. Some of the girls and I did a celebratory Tim Tam Slam (a fantastically genius Australian tradition) and then most of us from the Not For Sale DTS came along for a surprise outing of ice cream from McDonald's and bowling!! It was so great. I'm so happy to be here. God blesses me anew every single day and it's just incredible. Thank you to everyone at home who is supporting me and praying for me, I miss you guys and love you lots!!
