Prayer Point

Hello everyone!

Very exciting news; tomorrow I shall be leaving to embark on a year 9 camp for the week! :) We'll be heading out bush to a private block of land that is normally closed to the public, so it shall be untouched and as wild as you can get! I'm sure there will be a lot of nature on display!

The kids are divided up into several groups, and each day they travel to a new campsite. I will be situated at a particular camp location, and will be there to greet each group as they come along and then hang out with them for the day. I'm looking forward to it, because it will be a great opportunity to get to know the whole year level.

I am feeling very excited and a little apprehensive, and I thought that this might be something good to pray about for me if you want to. I hope that this next week will be a time when myself and the students can learn to trust each other, get to know one another and share stories. I'm sure it will be a great time of learning and growth for me, but I really want to commit this next five days to God and to serve Him in all that I do. So pray that I'll stay committed and focused on God's work, and that he would do things through me.

So I won't be blogging this week, and I won't be able to email or call anyone. But as soon as I get back I will be able to write all about the week!

Hello!!
Well you won't be getting this until the end of the week, but I thought I'd say hi anyway! A camp! That's very cool. I hope you've had an awsesome time with lots of laughs and new experiences. I may try and get hold of your mum's phone on Sunday at church, will you be around then for a chat??
Love Meagan

ame,
so so great to have finally found your blog and be hearing of all the exciting adventures. get into that red dirt for me ok and get mega dirty (perhaps you should try and get a dreadlock look going- I found it happened quite quickly in the kimberley!) so awesome to hear your reflections on your experience. Have you changed the way you speak yet? I found that after a bit of time in the Kimberley I was added 'ay' to the end of every sentence :) Am praying that God will continue to work through you, as he always does.
much love,
Jess x

Enjoy the camp - they are always a great place to bond with the group and focus on what you want to focus on instead of the daily distractions! Thinking of you and so excited for you, such an awesome thing you're doing,
