Can You Say Australia?! WE CAN!!!
*********************** Girls Going to Australia *************************
Last weekend we had a "Love Feast" to celebrate the lecture phase of DTS being over. It was a very fun event with great food, lots of dancing, encouraging others, and so many cameras! I also go to go snorkeling and the first reef wave came in as we finished, showing that winter had arrived in Hawaii. Lots of locals were out and surfers all excited that the surf was up! I couldn't help feeling excited too, the waves are now big and the waters rough, but somehow people keep surfing and swimming. I am growing to really love Hawaii, the people, the landscapes, the ocean, etc. It's been quite the adventure and I've only lived here for 3 months. This week has been quiet on campus as everyone is either going home for Christmas, out on outreach or inbetween semesters.
Tomorrow morning we leave Hawaii to head off to Australia! We will be there for two months and returning on the 18th of Feb. We are all fairly excited, and our travels will be mosly along the East coast. MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!!! Friends and family - I am sorry I cannot be seeing you this year, but know you are loved and greatly appreciated. Take notice of the small things around you and remember to praise God for His great creativity. One thing I like about Hawaii is that I can see so many stars! I remember that back home I would always try to find the "Small Dipper" because it was so easy to find the "Big Dipper," but a challenge to find the small one. Here, I can always see the Small Dipper, but I haven't been able to see the Big Dipper yet. Apparently, Hawaii is one of the greatest places on earth for viewing stars, and I agree.
Have a fantastic Christmas and New Years!
Cheers,
Amy
P.S. I got a free ipod today from one of my roommates (she got a new one for Christmas because her old one only works on shuffle). I am happy because it works just fine for me - it's a nice white 4GB, and it's all new music! I also found a really cool ring today while cleaning our room.
