Things are looking up in ol' aussie land! I got a card from Aunt Dian ( loved that), and I went to a Wednesday night college service at Suncoast church. I met some really great people, drank coffee (sorry dad--almost easter!), and listened to some live music by some local aussie boys (didnt mind that at allll).
There was also a really great speaker tonight. He has one incredible story. Apparently he was born in middle-ish Africa and was sent off to boarding school at age 6-- a long train ride away to south Africa. This was through countries with a lot of civil unrest and hard feelings toward "white" people. (age 6! for 6 months!--he got bullied a lot) Anyway...he went on to be a top special forces dude in Zimbabwe with some crazyyyy assignments. At one point he was wanted in basically every country for something he didnt do and was forced to flee to australia under cover?..idk it was nutz (he talked really fast--I didnt hear it all). Then he came back from bankruptcy to be a millionaire---he lives normally now in Oz as an entrepreneur and buisness speaker for christian companies...That was really condensed. Oh and this dude is rippppped and about 50?---ripped---the whole room went silent when he took his jacket off...ha.
In other news...I made some fresh guac! With 2 avocados left to use up---bonus!
anywhoooo---lots to do tomorrow for my next photography project! Off to sleep :)
