Change of Pace

Haven't blogged in about two weeks, since I left the YWAM base in Adelaide actually. Since than Graham and I have been in Cobden, Victoria which is about 2 and half hours south of Melbourne near a city called Warrnambool. We are living with a family whose daughter was an exchange student in year 10 at the SRSS.

The thing about Victoria is that it's known as the rainy place in the southern parts of Australia. So far, it hasn't disappointed. This last weekend was filled with rain and I'm not even sure how many centimetres we got over friday and saturday. Due to the rain we haven't been able to get out too much and because we're in a small town there isn't much to do indoors without driving a fair ways, and driving means spending money so I feel like we've been a bit lazy as of late. There have been a few nice days where Graham and I have played some tennis and I've been able to get out and run almost every day, other than that there hasn't been too much physical activity.

I would just like to take this one small paragraph to say that it's almost Christmas. Wow. If you're someone who has spent all of their Christmases in the snow than you know where I'm coming from. What a weird feeling, less than ten days until Christmas and no sign of snow, in fact it will only get hotter. I suppose there are a few positives to it though. Let's see, golfing on Christmas eve, playing tennis, getting sunburnt on Christmas day. Okay, so I might not actually do those things, but those aren't even possible at home. Merry Christmas.

Graham and I took this morning to make the short drive down the road to check out an Anglican Abbey and just to see what they're all about. There wasn't a whole lot going on but we did get a few neat pictures and just an idea of how they live. Needless to say Graham and I aren't exactly the tourist types. We don't go to the typical places and check out all the attractions, call us crazy but we're not those people.

So I've got several small and unimformative paragraphs and I don't really feel like writing too much more. It's been good to hear from some of you at home and hopefully I can connect with a few more of you in the future. God Bless and thanks for your prayers and Christmas wishes. Cheers.
